01-12-2023 Dollars & Sense, Finding the Right Strategy for You

When we think about the last year, we tend to think about the markets being down, political unrest, and soaring inflation and interest rates. Those worrisome factors left many wondering:

• Should I be concerned about my future?
• Am I still on track with my retirement plan?
• Do I need to go back to work after retirement?

If you have the right strategy in place, even when things are not seeming to move in the right direction, you CAN still be on track! 

Always remember to live with one foot in the present and one foot in the future, even when it comes to financial planning.

The start of a new year means lots of analysts, strategists, and economists have shared their predictions for the markets for 2023… and they are all different.

12-29-2022 Dollars & Sense, New Year, New Rules?

It is hard to believe, but we have reached our final podcast of 2022!

We had high hopes for this year, and don't get us wrong, there were definitely some wonderful moments! However, the Stock Market hit an all-time high on January 4th, then... well... you know the rest. That is why we like to remind our clients you cannot expect the market to always trend positively, you just have to plan for the dips!  

During this week’s episode of Dollars & Sense, Marc and Marion discuss what exactly is going up, and what is going down, when it comes to interest rates and some interesting factors included in the Secure 2.0 Act (including new rules around RMDs.)

Wishing you a happy, healthy, & prosperous New Year!

12-22-2022 Dollars & Sense, Ending 2022 With Good News

We are approaching the end of what many would see as a "cruddy year" for the markets. But we have some good news — consumer confidence is at the highest it has been all year!

What this tells us is that consumers are not overly worried about a deep, prolonged recession. The media can instill unnecessary fear. Do not fall victim to scary headlines, soundbites, and clickbait!  

With January right around the corner, maybe now is a good time to get a second opinion... 'in a language you can understand!'

 

Wishing everyone happy holidays and new year!
