About Sam Maness

If there was a book written about your life, what would you like it to say?\"My work helps people get closer to that Vision.Camino Pura Vida means The Way, or The Path, to a Good Life.For me that means chasing gratitude, wisdom, and moments of wonder. It means sharing \'junk time\' outdoors with my kids, and talking about how to live with integrity and purpose. It means savoring a slow meal or morning walk with my wife, Hannah. And always, books. But it looks different for each of us.As a financial planner serving investors with more than enough money, I\'ve learned that money can help you execute on a good life but won\'t guarantee one. The duty is on each of us to seek out purpose, and meaning, and shift our mindset into a place where we can experience durable joy.I help our clients with investment strategy, tax planning, and legacy & estate. I help clients buy dream homes, go on vacation, and secure a retirement with freedom - just like every other advisor doing a decent job.But you have a balance sheet focused on money and you have a balance sheet that focuses on your life. The latter might include: Mindset, Health & Mobility, Family, Friendship & Community, Spirituality.This is where the Magic happens. How are you showing up? And how can we get you where you want to be? About Sam: I married a girl from my hometown – and together we share a son and two daughters. The kids keep us moving, laughing, and learning. We enjoy the little things in life: travel, the great outdoors, inspired conversations, good books, testing out new recipes & restaurants, and sharing time with friends & family. We also have a lovable rescue pup, Murphy – a lab mix with a big heart, who is wise beyond his dog years. I love spending time outdoors and also invest a lot of time learning how the world works and always keep a few books on my nightstand. The rotation generally includes titles on health & longevity, spirituality/consciousness, and fantasy fiction. If you have questions or you’d like to learn more about how we can work together, please contact me at 73••••••50 or s••••••••@raymondjames.com.* Raymond James and its advisors do not offer tax or legal advice.
