Financial fraud can take many forms, from phishing emails and fraudulent investment opportunities to identity theft and increasingly sophisticated impersonation scams.

And while scammers continue to develop new tactics, a few simple precautions can help you protect yourself and your finances.
✔️ 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝘁. If you receive an unexpected request involving money or personal information, contact the organization directly using a trusted phone number or website.
✔️ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀. Use unique passwords and enable multifactor authentication whenever possible.
✔️ 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆. Catching suspicious activity early can help limit potential damage.
✔️ 𝗕𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆. Scammers often pressure people to act immediately, before they have time to question a request.

At Cereus Financial Advisors, we believe protecting your financial future involves more than investment planning. It also means staying informed, recognizing potential threats, and taking steps to safeguard what you've worked hard to build.

📋 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵!
With the end of the year approaching, now is a great time to check in on your finances and make sure your plan still aligns with your goals.

Here are four areas worth reviewing:
✔️ 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀: Review your health insurance, HSA or FSA options, and retirement plan contributions. Are you taking full advantage of any available employer match?
✔️ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁: Take a fresh look at recurring expenses and spending habits. The 50/30/20 rule—50% for needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings and debt repayment—can be a helpful starting point, though the right balance depends on your circumstances.
✔️ 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝘅 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Consider whether strategies such as tax-loss harvesting may be appropriate, and check any Required Minimum Distribution obligations that apply to you.
✔️ 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀: Is your current strategy still supporting your retirement, investment, and estate planning priorities?

Financial planning isn't something you do once and forget. It's an ongoing process that evolves as your life and priorities change.

At Cereus Financial Advisors, we help clients look at the bigger picture and make informed decisions about their financial futures.

🏥 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲!

Whether you're reviewing Medicare coverage or choosing benefits through your employer, this is an important opportunity to make sure your healthcare coverage still fits your needs—and your financial goals.

Before making your selections, consider:
✔️ Coverage and costs: Have premiums, deductibles, copays, or provider networks changed?
✔️ Prescription benefits: Are your medications still covered, and at what cost?
✔️ HSA and FSA opportunities: If eligible, are you taking advantage of available tax benefits?
✔️ Changing needs: Does your current coverage still make sense for your health, family, and financial circumstances?
✔️ The bigger picture: How do your healthcare expenses fit into your retirement and long-term financial plans?

October 15 brings two opportunities to think about your financial well-being: 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗦𝗔 𝗗𝗮𝘆!

💳 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 is a reminder that understanding your credit is an important part of financial planning. Paying bills on time, monitoring your credit reports, and managing debt responsibly can help support your financial goals.

🏥 𝗛𝗦𝗔 𝗗𝗮𝘆 highlights the potential benefits of Health Savings Accounts. For those eligible, HSAs offer a tax-advantaged way to save for qualified medical expenses, with unused funds generally carrying over from year to year.

While credit management and healthcare savings may seem like separate topics, both play a role in building a more comprehensive financial plan.

At Cereus Financial Advisors, we believe thoughtful planning means looking at the whole picture—not just your investments.

Whether you're saving for a vacation, building an emergency fund, preparing for retirement, or working toward another financial milestone, every savings goal starts somewhere.

Here are a few simple ways to make saving a regular part of your financial routine:
✔️ Set specific goals. Knowing what you're saving for can help you stay motivated.
✔️ Automate your savings. Regular transfers can help you build consistency without having to think about it.
✔️ Review your spending. Small adjustments to everyday expenses may free up money to put toward your goals.
✔️ Revisit your plan. As your income, expenses, and priorities change, your savings strategy may need to change, too.

At Cereus Financial Advisors, we believe a thoughtful financial plan should reflect your individual goals, priorities, and circumstances.

This National Savings Day, take a moment to consider: Are your savings habits helping you build the future you envision?

If you earn income as a freelancer, independent contractor, sole proprietor, or through a side business, you may owe self-employment tax in addition to federal income tax.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄:
✔️ The self-employment tax rate is 15.3%
• 12.4% funds Social Security
• 2.9% funds Medicare

✔️ In 2026, the Social Security portion applies to the first $184,500 of combined wages and net self-employment earnings.

✔️ If your net earnings from self-employment are $400 or more, you generally must file Schedule SE with your Form 1040.

✔️ Some higher-income taxpayers may also owe an additional 0.9% Medicare tax if income exceeds:
• $200,000 (single filers)
• $250,000 (married filing jointly)
• $125,000 (married filing separately)

Many people don't realize self-employment tax applies even if they're already employed full-time. A side hustle, consulting work, or freelance business may create additional tax obligations.

Understanding how these taxes work can help you avoid surprises and plan ahead.

Some companies are directly replacing certain tasks with AI. Others are redesigning their workforces, shifting resources toward new skills and capabilities, or using AI as one piece of a broader restructuring strategy.

At the same time, broader economic data has not yet shown the kind of widespread job displacement that some of the headlines might suggest. The evidence so far points to a labor market in transition, not a simple story of AI replacing workers across the economy.

For investors, the takeaway is to look beyond the announcement itself. The more meaningful questions are whether AI investments are actually translating into greater productivity, stronger margins, sustainable cash flow, and long-term value.

The headline is real. The explanation is incomplete. Give us a call if you'd like to discuss: 201.848.6802.
