Dear Mr. & Mrs. Wilkinson,
We welcome the opportunity to work with you as this letter confirms the terms of our agreement
regarding the financial planning services will provide for you.
At 3TN Consulting our mission is to simply help our clients achieve their financial goals. We are
committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity in our relationship with you. Please
rest assured that all information you provide will be kept strictly confidential.
This engagement will include services designed to meet your stated goals and objectives

Developing a summary of your current financial situation, including a year-end net worth
statement and an annual cash flow statement.
Identifying your top spending areas.
Analyzing important financial ratios.
Reviewing your current home and auto insurance policies.
Developing a debt repayment strategy.
Analyzing mortgage refinancing options.
At 3TN Consulting we maintain the highest level of fiduciary responsibility, meaning that we put
our client’s best interests first. Not only is it our job to act with high fiduciary standard of care, it
is also our job to communicate this with our clients. The cost of our services will be a flat fee of
$1500. We feel that this is a fair evaluation based on the services provided.
Common billing structures when working with certified financial planners are typically fee-

INSURANCE
A split limit policy is when you have different coverage limits for bodily injuries and property
damage. Your current policy is $50k/$100k/$50k. This simply means that you are covered up to
a maximum of $50k for bodily injuries per person, $100k for total bodily injuries per accident,
and $50k for total property damage per accident. Anything over these amounts will be your out-
of-pocket expense.
The $500 deductible is money you pay out-of-pocket before the insurance company pays toward
a claim resulting from a loss or damage. You will be responsible for paying the first $500 for
repairs from an auto accident and then the insurance company will pay for the remaining
balance.
Your home is currently insured 100% of its actual cash value. Actual cash value is the amount it
would take to repair or replace damage to your home after depreciation. On the other hand your
property has replacement cost coverage. Under replacement cost coverage, if your personal
property is damaged or stolen, the insurance company will pay you what it would cost to buy the
property today. You should consider switching your home insurance policy from actual cash
value to replacement cost. Although insurance premiums are lower for an actual cash value
policy, you may find yourself paying a significant amount of money out-of-pocket when you
incur a loss.

DEBT REPAYMENT
It is extremely important to prioritize your debt. By paying off the right debts first, you can save
a great amount of money while clearing your debts faster. Power payments are highly
recommended. Power payments mean that as soon as one debt is paid off, the monthly payment
from that debt is applied to the next debt. This is beneficial because the total amount of money
paid towards these debts each month will be held constant until all are paid. Below is a table
displaying total payments of your debt with and without power payments.
By using power payments, you will save $6,254.31 with a time reduction of 3 years and 9
months! In addition, if you could pay down the debt with an extra $300 per month, the amount
saved will increase to $10,188.67. The table below shows power payments with an extra $300
per month under the highest interest first method.
The following pages contain a detailed payment calendar should you decide to establish the
power payment plan above beginning January 2015.

Important factors to consider when deciding between the two refinancing options are the housing
ratios. Although option 1 has a lower total interest, the monthly payments will be higher than
what you are currently paying. Refinancing with option 2 is recommended due to the
significantly low housing ratios. In addition, refinancing to 30 years at 4.6% will lower your
monthly mortgage payments giving you the flexibility to pay off other debts and expenses.
