Edward Jones- Financial Advisor: Tyler Sawyer As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time to understand what you're working toward before you invest.

One of my favorite parts of this job is helping people understand what they own and why they own it.

If you havent had your portfolio reviewed recently, Id be happy to take a look. No obligations, no hard sell, just a conversation about your investments and whether they're aligned with your goals.

Even if the conclusion is everything looks great, keep doing what you're doing, that's a win. Reach out if you would like to schedule a complimentary review.

I recently met with someone younger who referred to herself as "a college student who dont know nothing about nothing" when it came to investing.

I laughed. Not at her, but at the blessing she didn't realize she had: time.

What I appreciated most was her curiosity. She didn't have all the answers and she knew it, but she was willing to hear me out. That's something education does well. It teaches you to stay curious and keep learning.

Too often people think they need a lot of money to start investing. The truth is it only takes a little to get started. No one expects you to be handing over a maxed-out Roth IRA your first year out of college. Granted, that's the goal, but it's not realistic for most people.

What matters is getting started.

Time is the best asset you have when it comes to investing. Starting earlier gives you more time to take risks, learn from mistakes and let compounding do its thing. It's the one thing we can't get more of once it's gone.

Start early. Save often. Build toward your dream life.

Every year, retirees and future retirees wait for one important announcement.. the Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA). The COLA is designed to help benefits keep pace with inflation and rising costs. For 2026, Social Security recipients received a 2.8% increase, providing a modest boost to monthly benefits.

But here's the real question: What could 2027 bring?

Nobody knows the official number yet, but the COLA announcement can have a meaningful impact on retirement income. A higher COLA could mean larger Social Security checks. A lower COLA could leave retirees feeling the pressure of rising everyday expenses. And for some, increases in Medicare costs can offset part of that benefit increase.
If you're 5 to 10 years from retirement, this is why planning matters.

Dont assume Social Security alone will keep up with future spending needs. The reality is that inflation, healthcare costs, taxes, and changes to retirement programs can all affect your financial picture over time.

Think about it:
• What if your expenses rise faster than your income?
• What if healthcare costs continue climbing?
• What if future COLAs don't keep pace with your lifestyle needs?
• How would your retirement plan respond?

The most successful retirees aren't necessarily those who have the largest nest eggs. They're often the ones who have prepared for uncertainty. As we wait to see what 2027's COLA will look like, it serves as a good reminder that retirement planning isn't just about building wealth. It's about creating a strategy that can adapt as the world changes around you.
Are you confident your retirement income plan is built to handle whatever comes next?

It’s my anniversary with Edward Jones, and I’ve been taking some time to reflect on the year and all the growth and succuss I've been part of. More than anything, I’m grateful.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve people from all walks of life, build meaningful relationships, and help individuals and families work toward what matters most to them.
That’s why I appreciate the Edward Jones approach. It isn’t about being flashy, predicting markets, or chasing the next hot investment. It’s about encouraging strong financial behaviors, creating thoughtful strategies, and remaining focused on long-term goals.

For me, this career isn’t about chasing the biggest client. It’s about taking care of people, earning their trust, and building relationships that lead to more relationships.
As I celebrate this anniversary, I can confidently say that I love what I do and the people I work with. Thank you to everyone who has supported me, trusted me, and been part of this journey. I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Most people focus on earning more.

Wealthy people focus on keeping more.

A higher income can improve your lifestyle.

A better plan can improve your future.

The goal isn't just making money.

It's making progress.

Let's chat if you're looking to build a stronger financial foundation.

Rich people spend money to show success.

Wealthy people build assets that create freedom.

The "richest" person in the room isn't always the one driving the nicest car or wearing the fancy suit. It's often the one who can choose what to do with their time tomorrow.

Lets chat if you're open to building wealth.

Congratulations to all the recent NIU graduates!

You crossed the stage, earned your degree, and closed one chapter. Now the next stage of your life begins.

The decisions you make in the next few years can have a bigger impact on your future than most people realize. Student loans, retirement savings, emergency funds, benefits packages, first jobs, and major purchases all create habits that can either build momentum or create obstacles down the road.

You worked hard to earn your degree. Don’t let a poor financial start hold back the opportunities you’ve created for yourself.

Whether you’re starting your first career, continuing your education, or figuring out what’s next, now is the perfect time to put together a plan.

If you’d like to talk through your goals and build a strategy for the future, let’s connect. I’d be happy to help you start this next chapter on the right foot.

Go Huskies!

Some people think service ends when you hang up the uniform. For me, that was just the beginning.

My time in the military shaped who I am, but the desire to serve never left. These days, that service looks different. It looks like showing up for my community, supporting fellow veterans, and giving my time and energy where it can actually make a difference.

The next couple of months may bring some exciting opportunities. I am currently in line to take on a leadership role with the American Legion as Junior Vice Commander, and I am also being considered for a board position with a charitable organization that is very near and dear to my heart. The vote has not happened yet, so we will see how things shake out.

No matter what, I am grateful for the chance to continue serving alongside good people who care deeply about this community. More to come soon!!

I picked up a great lesson last night at a local bar in downtown DeKalb while my son was at a music lesson.

Josh was my bartender. Over-the-top bubbly personality that works perfectly in a client-facing role. When I walked in, he was finishing up with another customer, completely matching her energy. Lots of positivity, playful banter, “I love yous,” and “I can’t wait to see you again.”

After they wrapped up, I asked Josh if he told all his customers he loved them, because I’d appreciate that same energy.

Without missing a beat, he laughed and said, “I don’t know who that even is.”

That was the lesson.

Josh was authentic. He didn’t follow a script. He sized people up instantly and met them on their level. He matched her mildly ridiculous energy and rolled just as easily with my sarcastic comment.
It wasn’t forced. It wasn’t calculated. It was real.

Takeaway: Be yourself. Meet people where they are. And if that doesn’t work, be Josh.

How many of you believe you won’t have enough to retire?
Before you answer that, let me ask you something else.
How much do you actually need to retire?
Not a rule of thumb.
Not a generic percentage.
Not a number an AI or online calculator spits out.
You.
Your life. Your goals. Your version of retirement.
Financial planning doesn’t really make sense until you put a number to it. Once you do, the uncertainty gets replaced with clarity and a plan.
If you don’t know your number yet, that’s okay. That’s where the process starts.
Give me a call and let’s figure out your number today.
