Well 2020 is coming to a close and what a year it was. We’ve lived through, possibly the worst pandemic we’ll experience in our lifetime. It’s been a challenging year but also a rewarding year. It started off like most other years. Busy with Christian’s activities and a busy RSP season at work. As February turned to March the virus that was that was jokingly referred to being named after a beer became increasingly concerning for all of us. By mid March businesses were being closed and schools were being closed as well. The transition to work from home was challenging and I would say over the last 9 months I’ve grown to like, dislike then like it again. I think I’m back in the dislike mindset but that can easily change in the next few days. Summer was great with lots of cycling and outdoor activities and a great vacation to Clear Lake. School resumed in September and despite the many restrictions and social distancing it was great to have some sense of a normal routine for the kids. Waffles joined us in September and I never thought I’d be a dog owner but it’s been an amazing few months with him in the house. Soccer resumed as did martial arts for Christian and despite some restrictions with those Christian was happy to be doing both again. As snow started to fly there was a sense that restrictions would be getting tighter again. And here we are on the last day of the year. I hope you’ve all made it through this difficult year and stayed safe. Here’s to 2020 being behind us and to a better 2021 for all. From our house to yours. Happy New Year and may 2021 be one of the best years of our lives.

These are uncertain times we are living in right now. With over 70 years combined between our three advisors on our team at ROB MCDONALD IG wealth management we have seen many crisis’ is in our time. One or all of us have helped guide clients through other uncertain times such as the stock market crash of 1987, the tech bubble burst of 2001, the financial market crisis of 2007-2009 and, obviously, the current crisis of Covid-19 to name a few. We have continually built solid financial plans for our clients and focused on their individual goals and dreams.

As clients start thinking about and eventually start the transition into retirement I go through a retirement readiness questionnaire as part of the process in their retirement plan. These questions help ensure both the financial readiness and the metal readiness for a new life. If you are interested in going through this questionnaire or would like an update on your current financial plan please let me know and I would be more than happy to spend time with you to see how your plan has weathered these last few months.

If someone you know and care about is having concerns about their financial plan and retirement readiness, as a show of my gratitude, I will be providing a $50 gift card to a grocery or gas station of your choice, for any referral you make the results in a booked appointment. Any friend, coworker or family member that is currently not a client of IG Wealth Management that is willing to book an appointment with myself or a member of my team between June 15 and September 30 will automatically make you eligible for a $50 gift card whether they become a client or not. Let me help with that next grocery bill or gas refill while at the same time helping someone you care about.

I can be reached through a PM here or by email at [email protected]

For weeks I have heard people saying “ I just can’t wait for things to be back to normal.” I remember even saying that a few times myself. But as I’ve thought about our current situation I have realized how much I don’t want things to go back to the way they were. Here are a few of thoughts...

1. I hope that the next time a friend grabs me and pulls me in for a hug, I actually take the time to appreciate the gift of their embrace.

2. I hope that when school resumes and you are dropping your kids off, you take the time to thank the staff for the amazing gift that they give to your family.

3. I hope that the next time I’m sitting in a crowded restaurant I take the time to look around at the smiling faces, loud voices and be more appreciative for the gift of community.

4. I hope that when I am at the grocery store that I take a moment to acknowledge the necessities of life and the amazing people who work so hard to keep us supplied.

5. I hope that I never again take for granted the ability to hop in the car and visit a friend, go to the mall, go to a movie, etc.

So, truth is, I don’t want things to return to the way they once were. I hope that we take the lessons and challenges of the past few weeks and create a new normal.

My goal is to appreciate more, love harder, and truly appreciate the daily abundance of blessings that were so easily overlooked just a mere few weeks ago. If someone tells you they love you, take it to heart!

Copy and paste if you feel the same!

Hi all. First I hope you and your families are doing well and staying safe. I continue to work although it is currently from home. It may be wishful thinking to hope we are back in the office by May 1st. Regardless of when that time is I want to assure you all that I am working throughout the day and I am available by either email at [email protected] or on my cell by text or call. I have been doing meetings with clients by Zoom meetings, FaceTime or just an old fashioned phone call. If you would like to discuss the impact these times are having on your planned retirement or investment portfolio please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime and we can schedule a time to talk.

Take care and stay safe,
