About Me

Hi, I'm Jonathan P. Bednar, II. I work with young professionals and families across the country to guide them with their finances as they experience life transitions. Life is full of transitions such as getting married, having a baby, buying a home, transitioning to a new job, etc.

How do you handle it? My desire is to help you plan for and "Create The Life You Love®" free from anxiety around money. Often times my clients are earning six-figure incomes but haven't had the time to accumulate assets, they have no plan, value the guidance of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional, and understand that navigating the changing financial landscape is too important to do by yourself.

Topics that arise include career coaching, student loan analysis, investment advice, saving for the future, company benefits optimization, insurance education, and tax planning.

Isn't it time to "Create The Life You Love®?"

About our Firm

Now more than ever, planning for your retirement is critical.

Gone are the days when pensions and Social Security provided all of the income you needed for retirement. The new reality is that you are responsible for managing your own retirement, and that starts with making sure you’re strategic in your planning.

We can help. At Paradigm Wealth Partners, our approach to retirement planning is designed to help you get to—and through—retirement with a greater level of financial confidence, so you can relax knowing you have a road map to pursue your goals.

Start by considering how much to save for retirement, where to save it, and how to preserve the nest egg you're working so hard to build. Learn the strategies in Saving for Retirement.

And then, as you zero in on retirement, you'll need a different set of strategies designed with a goal to manage risk and make your money last through retirement.

Learn how to optimize your retirement income.

The Wealthtender Guide to Featured CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professionals

We Want Your Voice to be Heard

Wealthtender exists to help people discover the most trusted and authentic professionals and educators in the finance community.

Your honest reviews of the providers featured in our directories help people decide which providers may be best suited to their individual needs.

The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience with the provider.

Tips for Writing a Helpful Review

Be descriptive. Instead of just saying that you like or dislike a provider, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!

Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your real experience with the provider.

Stay relevant. Help ensure your review is useful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience with the provider.

Be objective. Try to highlight both positives and negatives in your review, even if your experience skews heavily in one direction.

Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable for others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.

Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.

Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harrassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscentities, or inflammatory language.

Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identity another individual or compromise their privacy.

Report abuse. Thank you for helping us ensure reviews on Wealthtender are useful to everyone. If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the review in question and reason you believe it violates our guidelines.

Disclaimers

Wealthtender reserves the right to remove a review at any time for any reason. It is at our sole discretion and no one else’s, that we decide when a review is against our guidelines.

The reviews posted on Wealthtender are individual and subjective opinions. The opinions expressed in reviews are those of the reviewer and not of Wealthtender, Inc. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed by reviewers.

Please refer to the Wealthtender terms of service and privacy policy for additional information.

If you have questions or if we can assist with anything at all, please contact us by email at support@wealthtender.com or call us at (512) 540 – 3811.
