Whole life insurance can be a helpful part of a long-term financial plan—but it depends on your needs, budget, and goals. Let’s talk through whether it makes sense for you. http://spr.ly/6182BH1XWy

Happy Halloween. Loved handing out candy to the tiny kids, then to the neighbor grade schoolers, then as night came on to an eclectic string of visitors from the wider area, many from quite international cultures. Was it their first Halloween? A fun night.
In an earlier year my wife took the undistributed candy to the garage. I cannot be trusted with candy at hand. Jill has a mañana action style, so the candy stayed in the car a wee bit too long before a refund was sought on the unopened bags. We have entrepreneurial squirrels who found their way under the garage door.
$1500 at the mechanic to try to figure out what that horrid smell was in Jill’s car? After significant deconstruction of the interior, the sad fate of the sweet tooth squirrel was discovered. To this day, the car has not smelled right.
Semi- related story. This week I visited with another lawyer, married to a lawyer, with kids, and no will. Isn’t probate covered in 1L?
The connection? In financial planning there is no time like the present! We often know what to do, but still don’t act. It is really no secret how to lose weight (no candies! :-)), for example, but behaviors matter, and coaching has a role.
What can you do now to improve your planning? Update that will/trust? Roth conversion? Finally set up that Life or LTC insurance? Have a fresh set of eyes review on plans - what could be improved?
Mañana beckons the curious squirrel. Give me a call!

You spent years building toward retirement. Now’s a good time to make sure your money continues supporting the lifestyle and goals you’ve worked hard to achieve. Review your plan before year-end to provide the clarity and confidence to move into next year with stability and peace of mind.

A bonus gives you choices: spend some, save some, have a little fun, pay down debt, or invest for the future. If you’re not sure how to prioritize, let’s talk through the benefits of each option.

Fortunate to gather with some great guys from historic HC teams of the mid-80s through mid-90s this weekend in Worcester, MA to celebrate coach Mark Duffner. Coach guided the Crusaders to a 60-5-1 record in six seasons, including perfect 11-0 marks in both 1987 and 1991. Holy Cross won five Patriot League championships, four Lambert Cups and four ECAC Team of the Year awards during Duffner’s tenure, and also earned the No. 1 ranking in the final 1987 NCAA Division I-AA poll. All this and coach remains a true gentleman, a leader, and truly fun to be around - so many stories and some true!
We had about 200 guys fly and drive in from across the country. HC college Admin had to issue a warning that we had exceeded the testosterone maximum allowed in a Liberal Arts college in 2020-something ;-)
What a celebration of leadership, fellowship and just joy in being in one another’s company. We all rather regressed to old roles and experienced the happiness of the moment.
Perfect New England Fall day, leaves changing colors, festive tailgate scenes, and the team on the field had a decisive win over Bucknell.
For guys who in youth were no strangers to rambunctiousness and misdemeanorings, the discipline of football and all its lessons further built up some strongly successful men, and ones who took extraordinarily different paths to get there.
Life comes at you fast…

Saving for your child’s education can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to figure it out alone. A 529 plan can be a helpful tool, and I can help you decide how it fits into your broader financial plan. http://spr.ly/6185BGUA77
