"And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it.
To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God."
Ecclesiastes 5:19
Our Mission
Matt Hearn, CFP®, ChFC®, a financial planner with more than 20 year’s experience and founder of Method To My Money, is passionate about helping individuals and families attain what he calls “true and lasting wealth”. He has seen first hand how, if we’re not careful, money issues can drive us all a little mad. He has also observed that, when time-tested methods are followed, money can be a powerful tool for good… and can lead to a sense of purpose, fulfillment and peace.
Method To My Money was created with you and your family in mind. As a dad, Matt often finds himself saying things that appear, shall we say, more than a little crazy to the next generation! And, as he heard many times from his father, he often finds himself repeating “look, there’s a method to my madness!’ Well, as any parent knows, our kids don’t always listen to us… but we hope and pray that what we have said and lived in front of them over the years will be a positive influence. We hope that the methods we have taught them will, if followed, make their lives happier, safer and bring them true and lasting fulfillment. In the same spirit, Method to My Money is here to share methods with you that are time-tested and reliable… patterns that, if followed, can lead to this same sort-of “true and lasting wealth”. But, what exactly is “true and lasting wealth”? Good question! Stay tuned!
What Drives Us
We believe true and lasting wealth isn’t just about the dollars in your bank account—it’s about how you live, how you treat others, and the purpose that drives you. These principles are at the core of everything we believe at Method To My Money, guiding our approach to helping you better understand time-tested methods to managing your money, avoid the madness that so often surrounds finances, and most importantly, live a life in constant pursuit of true and lasting wealth.
Stewardship
We are entrusted with resources, and it’s our responsibility to manage them wisely, whether it’s money, time, or talents.
Integrity
We believe in honesty and transparency, aligning our financial decisions with what is right and just, both in business and personal matters.
Faith
Our financial guidance is grounded in biblical principles, reminding us that ultimate fulfillment comes from seeking treasures beyond this world.
Peace
We promote a mindset of peace and satisfaction, knowing that the pursuit of material wealth alone leads to stress, while a life centered on God’s will brings true fulfillment.
Generosity
True wealth isn’t hoarded—it’s shared. We believe there's a certain joy found in 'Lasting Wealth' when we use our resources to help those in need or fund causes greater than ourselves.
Purpose
"We believe that every financial decision should be made with a purpose in mind. It's not just about accumulating wealth, but about stewarding our God-given resources to achieve specific goals... and thereby making an impact on the lives and causes we care about most.
Financial Freedom Wheel
The Financial Freedom Wheel illustrates 6 important steps along our path to financial freedom. First, there’s Asset Accounting. It’s difficult to begin a journey without first knowing where you’re starting from. Next, we focus our attention on the Pursuit of Lasting Wealth… reminding ourselves of the priorities that are enduring and truly important. Third, we thoughtfully identify specific, measurable and attainable goals and, then, rank them in order based our priorities. Finally, we make plans for and implement methods that are designed to help us achieve our goals, as they pertain to Accumulation, Asset Protection, and Making a Difference.
