Most financial well-being scales are based on subjective measures (i.e., perceptions), as objective markers have not reliably encapsulated financial well-being. We define a conceptual model, the equilibrium model of the household (EMH), and use discriminant analysis to extract categories of financial well-being. The continuum of these categories is financially distressed (lowest), financially fragile, financially stable, and financially flourishing (highest). Our results demonstrate these categories are consistent with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) Financial Well-Being Scale, a subjective scale. Higher CFPB scores were associated with higher category ranks. Our results provide additional evidence to support construct validity of the CFPB scale and may offer more actionability to the CFPB scores because specific financial outcomes/behaviors associated with our categories of financial well-being correspond to ranges of the CFPB scale. However, we argue that the claim whereby the CFPB scale measures a concept beyond traditional financial measures is imprecise and may even reflect the existence of noise in the CFPB's data, raising questions about its reliability.</p>","PeriodicalId":100529,"journal":{"name":"FINANCIAL PLANNING REVIEW","volume":"7 3-4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cfp2.1194","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143252572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Systems theory is too broad of a topic to cover in one paper. The scope of this paper is to describe the key systems' concepts of interconnectedness, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, homeostasis, and differentiation of self that have direct applications to financial planning. A case study illustrates how these concepts and tools, such as the genogram and shifting the conversation from content to process, can be utilized in financial planning. Through therapeutic communication (e.g., listening actively and recognizing the hidden cues in a client's communication), financial planners can uncover and address systemic issues impacting the financial planning process. Financial planners will learn key concepts of systems theory, gain tools for how to incorporate systems' concepts into practice, and be prepared to take an active role in the next evolution of financial planning.</p>","PeriodicalId":100529,"journal":{"name":"FINANCIAL PLANNING REVIEW","volume":"7 3-4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143253458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, relying on 1697 responses to a self-administered online questionnaire from consumers aged 18 or older in the U.S., we empirically examined several of these inconsistencies. Specifically, we explored how trust differs between seven types of financial services providers and between “customers” and “familiar non-customers” for each provider type. We also investigated how sociodemographic characteristics, generalized trust, previous experience, and the behavior and characteristics of financial services providers impact trust in different types of providers for “customers” versus “familiar non-customers.” Our results show that trust ratings differ across providers and between “customers” and “familiar non-customer” for the same provider type. Our results also show that there are distinct drivers of trust for “familiar non-customers” and “customers.” Indicators of reputation are important drivers of trust for “familiar non-customers,” especially for online-only financial companies. Shared values, interest protection, and personalized service are important drivers of trust for “customers,” especially for investment/brokerage firms, national banks, and credit unions. Taken together, these findings can help researchers and practitioners to better design marketing strategies geared toward building, maintaining, and repairing trust.</p>","PeriodicalId":100529,"journal":{"name":"FINANCIAL PLANNING REVIEW","volume":"7 3-4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143253569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this study were to examine whether the utilization of financial planners, the status of inheritance receipt, and religion are associated with engagement in estate planning among U.S. Black adults, and how these associations vary based on life insurance policy ownership. Participants for this study were 673 U.S. Black adults aged 25 and older who completed an online survey in July 2021. We estimated logistic regression models to predict Black adults' engagement in estate planning. Results indicated that in fully adjusted models, Black adults who used the services of a financial planner had significantly higher odds of executing a valid will or trust than those who did not seek assistance from a financial planner. The status of inheritance receipt, frequency of attendance at religious services, and ownership of life insurance policies were positively and significantly associated with engagement in estate planning among Black adults. However, as a moderator, patterns did not differ significantly depending on whether they owned life insurance policies.
