Ever wonder why you spend more than you intended, even when you know you probably shouldn't?

The answer isn't always about how much you earn or how well you budget. Sometimes, it's about how your brain processes money.

From treating a bonus differently than your regular paycheck to getting used to lifestyle upgrades, our spending decisions are often influenced by psychological patterns we don't even recognize.

A few examples:
- Mental Accounting: Why $1,000 from a bonus can feel different than $1,000 already in savings.
- Hedonic Adaptation: Why the excitement of a new purchase can fade while the expense sticks around.
- The Pain of Paying: Why spending can feel easier when transactions become more convenient and automatic.

Understanding these patterns can provide a different perspective on everyday financial decisions.

A power of attorney gives someone else the legal authority to make certain decisions on your behalf. But not all powers of attorney serve the same purpose.

Two of the most common types are:

Healthcare Power of Attorney: Authorizes someone to make medical decisions on your behalf when you're unable to make them yourself.

Financial Power of Attorney: Authorizes someone to handle financial matters, such as managing accounts, paying bills, and handling property transactions, within the authority granted by the document.

While both play important roles in estate planning, they cover very different responsibilities.

And neither is the same as a living will, which documents your preferences for certain medical treatments.

Your business may be one of the biggest assets you ever build. But what happens when you’re no longer the one running it?

Business succession planning helps answer some of the questions that are easy to put off:

Who takes over?
How much is the business worth?
How will ownership change hands?
How will the transition be funded?

Whether the eventual plan is a family transition, employee buyout, or third-party sale, the process usually works better when it starts years before the transition actually happens.

You spent years building the business. Give the transition the same thought.

What's the difference between an HSA and an FSA?

While they sound almost interchangeable, there are some important differences between the two.

Both can provide tax advantages when paying for qualified healthcare expenses, but the rules around eligibility, contributions, ownership, and unused funds can look very different.

One of the biggest distinctions is that an HSA is generally yours to keep, while FSA funds may be subject to your employer plan’s use-it-or-lose-it rules.

Swipe through for a breakdown of how each account works and some of the key differences between them.

What is a brokerage account?

Brokerage accounts are one of the most common ways to invest outside of a retirement account.

They can give you access to stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, bonds, and other investments, generally without the contribution limits or age-based withdrawal rules associated with many retirement accounts.

So what’s the tradeoff? The tax treatment can be different.

Dividends and interest may create taxable income along the way, and selling an investment for a gain may create capital gains tax liability.

Understanding those differences can help make sense of where brokerage accounts fit into the bigger financial picture.

What is dollar-cost averaging?

Dollar-cost averaging is a simple concept: invest the same dollar amount on a consistent schedule, regardless of what the market is doing.

When prices are lower, that same investment purchases more shares. When prices are higher, it purchases fewer.

But DCA isn’t automatically “better” than investing a lump sum. The two approaches simply put money into the market differently, and each comes with its own tradeoffs.

Understanding the difference is what matters.

Asset allocation is about what you own. Asset location is about where you own it.

Different account types can receive different tax treatment, which means the same investments may produce different after-tax outcomes depending on where they’re held.

Taxable. Tax-deferred. Tax-free. Each works differently, and asset location looks at how investments are spread across those accounts.

It’s also not as simple as putting certain investments in certain accounts. Tax rates, time horizon, expected returns, available account space, withdrawal strategy, and the portfolio as a whole can all play a role.

Taxes don’t change what you own. They can change what you keep.

Market crashes can make it feel like something has gone wrong, but market declines have historically been a part of investing.

While every downturn is different, looking at market history can help put periods of volatility into perspective, including how markets have behaved during declines, how recoveries have unfolded, and how investor behavior can change when uncertainty is high.

Have questions about how market volatility fits into your financial plan?
