You'd never book a planner just to ask "is this normal?" In this room, that's the whole point. 300 people in tech, at your level and the next one up, saying out loud what they're doing with their money and what they're still figuring out. Evol Greaves, Betterment's VP of Engineering, hosts and goes first with his own story: how his thinking about money changed as his career grew, and the questions he still has. Kyle McBrien, CFP, brings the five things he thinks about for everyone. Your questions go in at check-in and get asked for you, no names attached. Then small groups with the planners.
