Happy Spring Break Season!
It’s one of my favorite times of the year where we say goodbye to the bitter cold and say hello to pollen! Where I try to figure out which allergy medicine will work best every day. I’ll call it medicine cabinet roulette.
It’s also the time of year where marketing season ramps up across the country. Excited to be along side of you as we jump into this season!

- I’ve had multiple relatives that were forced into retirement for a few reasons. I thought this article hit home and could be useful with clients.

20 Lessons From 20 Years of Managing Money
- Solid piece from Ben Carlson that gives some insight into the financial planning world.
- “Intelligence doesn’t guarantee investment success. Warren Buffett once wrote, “Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with the 130 IQ.
