What this covers
FinEdge's published account of this testimonial describes the specific difficulty for armed forces families: relocation makes a consistent working relationship hard to maintain, which is usually where the plan lapses.
What she describes changing is the operating method rather than the products — meetings that did not depend on location, and processes that did not depend on paperwork moving with her.
For a family that moves, continuity of the process is what keeps the plan alive.
