Tip of the Month
November, 2024
It’s that time of year again. Halloween has just come and gone – and now we’re hurtling headlong into Thanksgiving and Christmas. For holiday shopping, it’s tempting to turn a blind eye and put everything on your credit cards. However, if you don’t want to have a financial hangover in January, February (and so on), you might want to take a look at these tips.
Create a Budget and Stick To It

Step 6: Looking to Legacy Planning to Address Future Needs of Family
How do you want to be remembered? People often view their legacy as a way of disseminating assets to charitable venues to be remembered as passionate and generous supporters. That is one aspect of a legacy.
But perhaps the most important legacy plan is how you want to be remembered by your family, friends and loved ones.

This may very well mar the fine memory your loved ones have for you. After all, having to manage a complex or messy estate over a long period of time could overwrite the previously fond memories they had for you. No one wants their legacy blemished by administrative chaos, so now is the time to get your financial house and estate plan in order. Don’t let the last memories of you be ones of aggravation and bitterness.
