Why Instar?

Why "Instar Financial Planning"

Chaos theory, also known as the "butterfly effect", suggests that small changes in the conditions of a complex system can lead to big changes in outcomes.  The "butterfly effect" metaphor indicates that something as subtle as the flap of a butterfly's wings can lead to major weather changes around the globe.  

​

The monarch butterfly goes through five stages of growth.  The growth stages are called "instars".  Each instar stage is a period of transition and transformation.

​

Throughout our lives we go through many stages of growth, transition, and transformation.  As we navigate life's stages, our financial landscape evolves, often becoming more complex. The decisions we make, whether big or small, shape our financial future.
