Intentional Living with Eternal Perspective
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Oct 8, 2025
Intentional Living FP is an incredibly knowledgeable and genuine group of advisors who truly take the time to know you and your family. They don’t just focus on numbers — they focus on what matters most to you. Their team sees money as a means of creating value, which looks different for every family, and they take the time to understand your goals before giving advice.
What really sets them apart is their holistic approach — they coordinate with accountants, attorneys, and other professionals to ensure every piece of your financial picture works together. They combine smart investment strategies with thoughtful planning to help you grow and protect your wealth over time.
I can’t recommend Intentional Living FP enough — they’re knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly have a heart for serving others.
Lastly, I can’t thank them enough for keeping us grounded in our faith. They lead with an eternal perspective and make sure we’re taking the necessary steps to steward our money well — just as we asked them to do.

GenXer Seeking Modern Approach
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Oct 6, 2025
The team at Intentional Living truly took the time to get to know my wife and me and understand our goals. They’re thoughtful, strategic, and refreshingly open-minded. As Gen Xers who wanted to include Bitcoin as part of our investment strategy, we struggled to find an advisor who would even have the conversation. Jim and his team not only embraced the idea but helped make it a meaningful part of our overall financial plan. We couldn’t be happier with their guidance and approach.

Jim and his team at Intentional Living have been so patient with me throughout the years. I was basically clueless when I came to them and they have taught me so much about how to make my money work for me and to get that much closer to financial freedom. I have met several of my goals and with their help, I continue to work towards continued growth.

An advisor focused on YOU and not just your money
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Oct 3, 2025
We have been working with Jim Crider for 7 years now and couldn't be happier. He genuinely cares about us and our family's goals and objectives, which is consistent with his management style: your money is a tool to help you realize your goals. I would recommend Jim without reservation to absolutely anyone looking for a financial advisor whose focus is on you and not just your money.

Highly Review Jim and His Team
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Oct 3, 2025
My husband and I have been working with Jim and his team since 2023 and from the start were impressed with his approach. He listends to what is important to us and our financial needs, answers our questions and is quick to respond on decisions we've made together. We've been very pleased with the rate of return on our investments even with the rollercoaster ride of the market. I highly recommend Intentional Living FP. They are by far the best investment advisory group!

Peace of mind
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Oct 3, 2025
Jim and his team have been everything I hoped for and more. My wife and I started working with our initial insurance / wealth management professional before we got engaged 12 years ago. We both signed up for large whole life policies. Every time we would connect with our representative (every 2-3 years) they would try to sell us some new insurance or annuity product. They never took the time to really get to know us, our nuanced goals, and/or my perspective on the broader market and approach to portfolio allocation. I had been thinking about engaging a professional money manager / fiduciary for a few years as I realized I had created quite a complex and confusion "porfolio" and knew that if something happened to me my wife would really struggle to navigate what I created. I heard Jim on The Investors podcast and immediately submitted an inquiry. Their client onboarding process forced my wife and I to really think about our financial goals and the point of all of the energy we put into our financial savings and future retirement plans. They have been true partners and have helped optimize and improve our portfiolio. Best part is I know that they are there to support my family if something happens to me. I can not reccomend them highly enough!

A Financial Advisor Who Truly Listens and Delivers
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Oct 3, 2025
I have nothing but praise for Jim Crider and Intentional Living. Jim approaches financial planning on a truly individual basis, taking the time to understand my personal goals and dreams. From the very beginning, he was fully on board with my vision, and his guidance has been invaluable in keeping that dream alive.
His management of my account has provided both clarity and confidence, giving me the reassurance that my plans are not only possible but sustainable. Jim’s thoughtful approach, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients set him apart. I highly recommend Jim and Intentional Living to anyone seeking not just financial management, but a trusted partner in building the life they want.

Worth Every Penny
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™

Jim and his team are top notch wealth advisors, and he has already paid for himself multiple times over in my year-one tax savings alone. He's also a man of faith and understands Bitcoin, which is a hard combination to find in the stuffy world of financial planners and traditional finance. I can't recommend his team enough!

Intentional Living is the real deal—knowledgeable, genuine, and truly invested in your goals more than just financially.

I've had three financial advisors...Jim is my favorite.
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Oct 1, 2025
While my professional relationship with Jim is still young, it's already clear this experience with him will be significantly different from any other. I've had an opportunity to work with two other financial advisors, people I trust and hold in high regard. At the end of the day, I still felt I was not a great fit for their practices. Immediately, Jim's approach has been one of patience...working on my timelines, often times catering to my increasingly busy lifestyle. Most importantly though, Jim has anchored our relationship around my goals and the goals I have for my family; doing so without judging how we want to get there. He's open to thinking through and collaborating on all investment strategies, and is truly a partner (not a vendor). I'm looking forward to expanding on my time with Jim and his firm.

Continues to help us achieve/surpass our life and financial goals
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Oct 1, 2025
My wife and I could not be happier with what Jim and his team have done for us. Jim’s first questions had nothing to do with finances, as he genuinely wanted to get to know us and establish a personal connection first. He started by asking what our life goals were and what was important to our family. He then helped us adjust our finances according to our answers. He always thoroughly answers all of our questions, even when we had an infinite number of questions about our financing options when we bought our first home last year. Most importantly, he and his team always make sure we are on the fast track to financial freedom, without having to sacrifice living in the present!

Reaching out to Jim was truly a life-changing decision. His guidance, strategy, and patience in explaining every step gave us the confidence to make the right financial moves. By simply listening to him and following his advice, we’ve managed to grow our net worth— something we never thought possible. Jim doesn’t just give cookie-cutter advice; he takes the time to understand your goals and puts together a plan that actually works. We’re incredibly grateful for his expertise and the lasting impact he’s had on our financial future.

Working with Jim Crider and his team has been such a positive experience. He’s guided us through W2 income, stock investments, and our small real estate portfolio while always keeping our retirement goals front and center. Jim is proactive, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about our financial journey. His team is also wonderful to work with and our update meetings always leave us feeling reassured and confident in our plan. We’re truly grateful to have Jim on our side and couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Financial Planner that understands Money!
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Oct 1, 2025
My wife and I have been really impressed with ILFP and their approach to financial planning. Jim and the team took the time to deeply understand our needs and created a personalized plan that aligns perfectly with our family’s short-, mid-, and long-term goals. For me, what I really appreciated was their thorough process, which helped us to examine our financial priorities and ensure our money consistently supports our objectives. Their ongoing follow-up keeps our plan on track, adapting to our evolving needs. We truly appreciate their dedication, expertise, and client-focused approach. Another key thing for me is that they thoroughly understand the question, "What is money?" Highly recommend ILFP to anyone seeking a reliable and thoughtful financial planning partner!

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Oct 1, 2025
Jim and his team are unlike any wealth advisors I’ve ever come in contact with. Their focus on a family mission statement and ultimate set up for the family as a whole has been life changing for us. To be able to put all your trust in a team and know that they have your back makes all the difference. I know we will be set up for exactly how we want our life to look in the next 10, 20, 30 years and beyond.

Trust is something you rarely hear these days
✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Sep 30, 2025
We've been working with Jim Crider and Intentional Living Financial Planning for several years. We were previously with one of the big, brand name financial planning firms when I worked for British Petroleum as they were they were connected to us as part of our 401K program. We just weren't making much and while we were told that our plan was customized for us, it was clear that this just wasn't true. We spoke to my wife's son and daughter-in-law and they introduced us to Jim and his team. Fast forward to today. Our rate of return thus far in 2025 is over 30% with his guidance. We couldn't be happier! We are so thankful and blessed that we found him.

Intentional Living Financial Planning has been exactly what my wife and I needed to keep our finances in order and feel confident that we're on track for the future we envision. We were in search of an early retirement specialist who would keep a strong focus on our goals. Where other FP's we interviewed were making general assumptions about the steps ahead for us, Jim has kept OUR vision in the forefront of our financial planning every step of the way. He is always so upbeat and eager to help with anything we need. He's saved us so much time and stress in so many areas of finance. We really love working with him. Thanks Jim & team!

It’s been a pleasure working with Jim. Over the past few months, he has already helped my husband and I navigate a myriad of financial decisions after taking time to get to know our lifestyle and values. He is well researched and informed on current policies and strategies to advise us, especially on some atypical situations. He creates a trusting relationship with his openness and responsiveness to both questions and ideas that we may have. Would highly recommend.

Jim is, simply put, fantastic. He takes the time to develop a personal relationship with his clients so that he can truly understand THEIR goals. Only then does he formulate a strategy to obtain those goals - and guide decision-making to ensure that one stays accountable to those goals. We are lucky to have found Jim and would recommend him to our closest friends and family without reservation.
