Professional Background

I’m, Matt Streck, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional with Northwestern Mutual. A native Oklahoman, I grew up in the northwestern part of the state on a farm near Kremlin where I developed a deep appreciation for community and hard work. before heading to Stillwater to earn a degree in finance from Oklahoma State University. My journey in finance began at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, where I earned a degree in finance.

My career with Northwestern Mutual began as an intern in January 2011, transitioning to a full-time position upon graduation. When I began my journey in financial planning, I lived on Keller Drive, a place that has always held a special significance for me. Financial planning offers me the opportunity to discuss broad topics, have fun, and make a significant impact on our community. I love understanding the psychology behind how people make decisions, which allows me to tailor my approach to each individual client. Helping others achieve their financial goals is a rewarding way to create positive change, and I am committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those I serve.

My Money Story

My financial philosophy is heavily influenced by my grandfather, who grew up during the Great Depression. His experience of scarcity shaped my mom's belief in the importance of keeping cash. However, despite having more cash, we didn't experience less stress. This taught me that giving each dollar a specific purpose is crucial for reducing stress, rather than assigning the same goal to every dollar.

As I delved deeper pursuing my finance degree, industry credentials and extensive reading, I discovered that there are better ways to manage money. While numbers provide clarity, emotions often pose challenges because humans aren't always rational. I get it. I’ve been there. My goal is to help you navigate these emotional challenges with practical, informed financial advice.

Personal Life

My wife, Rachel, and I reside in Oklahoma City. Rachel and I first connected in high school when I added her on Facebook, though we didn't really get to know each other until college when I invited her to dinner. Even then, it took some time before we officially started dating. I can't say I was the best prospect at the time. My pickup was hit by a tornado, leaving me without a car, I was juggling college and work, and we lived an hour away from each other. Despite the challenges, we managed to meet occasionally, and our connection grew stronger.

Rachel and I married in 2017. We both have strong personalities and a shared love for animals, which has always been a bonding factor. Her sense of humor and our mutual respect help us create a great balance in our relationship. Rachel is truly a wonderful person, and I'm grateful for the life we share together.

Outside of work, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, playing golf, cheering on the OKC Thunder and Oklahoma State, and helping on the family farm.

My ongoing word of the year or theme for how I try to live my life is patience.
