In our home, decorating gingerbread houses is the yearly favorite! The kids get competitive with their designs and love sharing their creations here on Facebook, and it always brings out the best kind of holiday joy. What's your family's tradition?

✨ “If you give a woman a dollar, she’ll turn it into so much more.”

At the Women's Foundation of Arkansas Power of the Purse event, we were reminded of the powerful ripple effect that happens when we invest in women and girls, especially early on. Financial confidence and knowledge foster stronger families, businesses, and communities.

We’re especially proud that our very own Elizabeth Anderson, Executive Director of the Farmers Bank Foundation, was honored as Woman of the Year in Business. Her leadership and intentionality reflect exactly why investing in women changes everything!

✨ Trust is the foundation of every strong financial plan. ✨

Research shows that when we decide who to trust, we’re really looking for three things:

1️⃣ Ability — Does this person have the knowledge and expertise to guide me?
2️⃣ Benevolence — Do they truly care about me, my goals, and my family?
3️⃣ Integrity — Will they be honest, transparent, and put my interests first?

I believe all three matter equally. But I’m curious…

👉 When you think about working with a financial advisor, which of these is most important to you?

Big changes are here for entrepreneurs and small business owners. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (signed July 4, 2025) makes permanent—and expands—several important tax benefits, including:

✅ A permanent Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction (Section 199A)
✅ 100% bonus depreciation for new equipment
✅ Higher Section 179 expensing limits
✅ Expanded qualified small business stock (QSBS) benefits
✅ A higher state & local tax deduction cap

What does this mean for you? More opportunities to keep money in your business, invest in growth, and plan with confidence.

If you own a business, now is the time to review your tax and investment strategy to see how these changes could benefit you.

Here are five specific changes that small business owners should pay close attention to.

💬 Let’s talk about something we’d rather avoid… long-term care.
Nearly 70% of people turning 65 will need it—and costs can be steep: $6,292/month for a home health aide, $5,350 for assisted living, $8,669 for a nursing home (2023).
Start early, know your costs, explore policy or self-funding options, and get a second opinion. Planning ahead now means less stress later—and more freedom to enjoy life. 🙌

Many seniors will need long-term care. Here’s how families can navigate their options.
