I Prefer the Butcher

When you walk into a large chain grocery store, the experience is polite but impersonal. The employees greet you with a smile, but they don’t know your preferences or your story. You head to the meat section, where the steaks are neatly packaged. They may look fine, but often the cut is thinner, the quality less consistent, and the price surprisingly high. In that moment, you’re simply another shopper making another purchase.

Now think about walking into your local butcher shop. The atmosphere is different from the start. You’re welcomed like an old friend. The butcher doesn’t just hand you a steak; they ask what you’re planning to cook, how many people you’re serving, and what flavors you enjoy. They guide you to the cut that best fits your needs—often with better marbling, more flavor, and at a price not so different from the grocery store. The experience feels less like a transaction and more like a conversation, one where your time, taste, and outcome truly matter.

That contrast is a lot like the difference between working with a large bank and choosing an independent wealth management firm like Ammolite. At a bank, the advice may be standardized and the solutions prepackaged. You’re one client among thousands. At Ammolite, we know your name, your goals, and the nuances of your financial journey. We don’t hand out one-size-fits-all answers—we provide tailored strategies that fit your life.

In both cases, the choice isn’t just about cost. It’s about quality, trust, and the confidence that someone is truly invested in your best outcome.
