Hi, I’m Jason Demland.
I’m the founder of Demland Wealth, a financial planning firm for people working through planning a retirement that glorifies God.
I’m married to Amanda Jo and blessed with 5 kids. I’m involved in my local church and dedicated to the ministry of the gospel.
Retirement planning has become a worldly experience that leaves many people feeling discontent, disoriented, and unaligned with what they value. I want to change that.
I grew up on a dairy farm in rural Northwest Ohio. It’s no longer a dairy, but my dad still runs a beef operation on the family farm that Demlands have lived on since the 1860s. I skipped out on college right after high school and tried to be a professional musician as the guitar player in a band, but it didn’t work out. I still enjoy writing and playing music and am a rocker at heart.
I met my wife while she was busy being the best barista in the country and we got married in 2009. Combined we had amassed over 115k in debt and I was trying my hand at farming alfalfa with my dad. The Case IH Magnum we were renting only got AM radio and in the providence of God I discovered the Dave Ramsey show and became obsessed with personal finance.
Farming didn’t work out, but I eventually got a job at a bank, we got out of debt, I got my securities licenses at a regional bank, I went back to school, helped start up an independent advisory company, got my bachelor’s degree at Bowling Green State University, became a CFP® Professional, started Demland Wealth, became a Certified Kingdom Advisor®, and now I help Christians with money so they have more to give away.
I specialize in tax efficient retirement planning for people that want to retire to a life of work for the gospel and charity. The Lord has blessed me and I am so grateful for that.
I believe the way to financial comfort is trusting in our only comfort in life and death: belonging to our faithful savior Jesus Christ.
FAQs
Reach out to me directly for personalized assistance tailored to your needs—your success story starts with the right answers.
- Do I have to be a Christian to work with Demland Wealth?
-
Absolutely not. I love working with anyone of any faith! The advice I give will always be backed by Biblical principals and the basics of the Christian faith, wisdom that I believe is necessary for all of human flourishing. I believe it works for everyone because it is true.
- How much does it cost?
-
Most people have me manage their investments. When we work together like this I charge 1.5% on the first 1 million invested and .3% on anything above that annually.
If you’d like to manage your own investments we can do that too. I charge $2500 for a financial plan which is finalized and delivered within 90 days of engagement.
- Is there an investment minimum?
-
Nope. Whether or not we work together will depend on other factors far more than how much money you have to invest. My skills and services are most valuable to people with more than $500,000 saved in retirement accounts and who are trying to maximize their charitable giving and lower their lifetime tax bills.
