Financial life management

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Judging by sources, this is a phrase which is only used by United Capital as branding. The actual distinction between this and wealth management isn't clear, and the article basically admits it was developed as a way to make wealth management sound more appealing.

Delete per WP:NEO and WP:NOTWEBHOST. This appears to be one company's branding. Bearian (talk) 23:59, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I'm not sure it's just a United Capital term, though they do look like the most widely associated entity with it due to a recent rebranding? But looks like other firms do practice/offer financial life management services including these ones Telemus, Sheehan, Financial Life Management Inc., and even Vista Wealth which also offers wealth management, so they are seemingly different topics — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.50.202.95 (talk) 18:13, 28 October 2015‎

I stand corrected, but those sources are very, very flimsy regarding what the term actually means. The more I look at this, the less I understand what the difference is, if there is one. Financial Life Management requires a disciplined approach that integrates a broad array of solutions. Sounds impressive, but that doesn't actually mean very much. Financial Life Management is unique in that its goal is to help you achieve your heart's wishes, not just your financial goals. Wow! That's a hell of claim to make. What are they actually doing different, here? I'm seeing a lot of cringe-inducing cliches and platitudes, but no content.

Financiallifemgmt.com is a tiny company which doesn't seem to have a strong connection to the term as defined by the article. It's not usable as a source, but if it were it would only further dilute the meaning of the term. Grayfell (talk) 21:54, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Note: I see what you mean. I believe the difference is being stressed as that financial life management focuses on quality of life and trade-off's, while wealth management is purely numbers based. Here is a company that sells training/seminars on financial topics including this one. And apparently BOA is moving towards this distinction too, see here. I've seen other examples of closely related terms/concepts on Wiki articles like Money management versus Investment management. Maybe it's splitting hairs
