We looked at our own client data on the IWP Life Survey. Clients who've been with us for a few years score higher across every area of life we measure, not just the financial one. Spiritual wellbeing showed the biggest jump.

That sent us looking at what other researchers have found. Vanguard says advised clients are about half as likely to report high financial stress. Russell Investments found confidence in reaching financial goals roughly doubles after advice. The CFP Board found advised households are better prepared, with more emergency savings and estate planning in place.

In this episode, Cameron Howlett and Chris Haggart walk through the numbers and the stories behind them. It's less about the returns and more about what changes when people stop wondering if they'll be okay.
