Soon after they got married in 2022, Heather MacLean and Scott Kyrish decided they needed a financial advisor. "We were both making good money, and we realized we were just putting it in savings," says MacLean. "It didn't take long before Jay started trying to convince me to quit my job," MacLean says. She was making about $52,000 a year and her husband had recently received a salary bump from about $65,000 to about $80,000. "I remembered how much I loved it and thought, 'Maybe I'll give this a shot and see if it can turn into something,'" MacLean says.
