Carissa Palm

Meet Carissa.

Carissa Palm is a Wealth Advisor with LPL Financial.

My goal is to be a trusted, collaborative partner to Wings Credit Union's members.

Work doesn’t feel like a job to me, but when I’m technically off I love reading, watching my kiddo play soccer, and volunteering (I’m especially passionate about children and the elderly – they are the bedrocks of a society).

Whether it’s an investment or a different way of thinking about money, I’m excited to help you look for the opportunities in your own life.

Ask me anything.

On average, how much of my paycheck should go to retirement?
Averages work on paper, but not in real life – so I want to see you step forward from where you are. If you’re putting in 0%, let’s start with 2% and see how that feels. Six months later, maybe we can bump it up.
Let’s say you have $2,000. How would you invest it?
This is a highly personal question, and it’s different for everyone! I would put $500 in a custodial account for my daughter, $500 in a Roth for my stepson, $500 in my own investment account (tech-focused), and I would “invest” $500 in a closet organization system to ensure that my husband isn’t frustrated when he opens the door. Does that count?!
I am thinking of switching my assets to Wings. Why should I?
In my career I have worked with some of the largest financial firms in the country, and met advisors from coast to coast. Working in a big-name company is a tough role, and the pressure can be intense. I can’t imagine working for a “recognized” firm, and knowing I could lose my job if I didn’t sell enough life insurance…but that’s exactly what happens. Wings is big enough to have scale and resources, but small enough to escape quotas and unrealistic management expectations.
