❓ College vs. Retirement: Where should your extra money go?

Even when the ability to do both exists, the order matters.

🔍 Key considerations:
▪️ Consider retirement first: Compounding works best when funds are invested earlier. And, as you know, there are no loans for retirement.
▪️ Education has flexibility: Scholarships, grants, and student loans can fill gaps if needed.
▪️ Timing matters: The mix between retirement and education funding can shift as they near college age and/or retirement approaches.

💡 Pro Tip:
You may benefit from focusing on retirement needs first, then using surplus cash flow for education funding strategies.

Of course, you need to revisit this periodically to stay aligned with market conditions and family goals.

Smart preparation makes it possible to retire and support education in a way that fits your overall wealth strategy. We’re here to help.

🏡 When downsizing in retirement, is it better to buy or rent?

For many retirees, selling a long-time home can free up some capital, but the next step isn’t always obvious.

The decision comes down to several key factors:
▪️ Liquidity: Proceeds from selling a home can be invested, but buying again may lock up some capital.
▪️ Flexibility: Renting is one approach to testing a new city, preparing to relocate again, or wanting to avoid maintenance obligations.
▪️ Costs: Buying can offer some stability on housing payments (especially with no mortgage) but adds property taxes and upkeep, while rent might rise over time.
▪️ Legacy goals: Ownership may still be appealing if passing property to heirs is part of the strategy.

💭 Downsizing is often one of the biggest financial transitions in retirement, and the buy-versus-rent choice can meaningfully impact cash flow, lifestyle, and estate management.

Working with a financial professional can help you evaluate which option best aligns with long-term goals. We’re here to help if you or someone you know is facing this decision.

❓ Why do most New Year’s resolutions fade before spring?

Nearly half of Americans set resolutions each year, yet most give up within four months.

The good news…
Small changes in how you set goals can dramatically improve your chances of success.

Here are 5 tips to help make goals stick in 2026:
1️⃣ Use SMART Goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound
2️⃣ Write Them Down: Increases success rates by 42 percent
3️⃣ Share Them with Someone You Trust: Follow-through can jump to 95 percent
4️⃣ Keep It Simple: Focus on 2–3 priorities at a time
5️⃣ Celebrate Progress: Recognizing wins builds motivation

The same principles that make a personal financial strategy work apply to all areas of life: clear goals, steady progress, and accountability.

✨ Taking time this December to set your goals may be one of the best gifts you give yourself.

What’s one goal you want to pursue in 2026?

💭 What Would You Do With an Additional $17,000/year?

That’s roughly the annual cost of raising a child in the U.S., adding up to a total of $320,000 by age 18 for a middle-income family.

For some families, the number is often higher when you factor in:
• Private school tuition
• Travel and enrichment activities
• College savings goals (often fully funding four years)

💡 Why It Matters for Wealth Strategies
Even if cash flow isn’t an issue, raising children introduces a series of long-term financial decisions:
• When and how to fund education
• Preparing for potential multigenerational wealth transfer

🧠 A Useful Thought Exercise
If you knew your annual spending would increase by $17K–$50K+ for nearly two decades, how would you adjust your investment strategy, estate strategy, or gifting approach today?

For many families, these aren’t questions of affordability, but rather questions of intentional design: aligning financial resources with the life they want to create for their children and grandchildren.

Most Americans get retirement preparation wrong.

💊 Healthcare costs can make up around 15 percent of a retiree's annual spending by age 75, which is roughly two times what it typically is during the working years.

📉 Lower-than-expected returns early in retirement can change projections (sequence-of-returns risk).

⏳ The number of Americans living to age 100 and beyond is expected to quadruple over the next 30 years, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. For couples, there’s a 20 percent chance that one partner will live to at least 100!

Ask yourself:
❓ How does my strategy manage market volatility?
❓ Am I factoring in healthcare inflation?
❓ Will my income last as long as I do?

The takeaway: Retirement isn’t about a number in your retirement account. It’s about a strategy that addresses all the risks that could impact your goals.

Let us know if you’d like to review to see if you’re on track.

❓Would you pay double for the same degree? 🎓

Many families are facing that decision right now as college acceptances arrive in high school seniors’ inboxes through April.

The next question is whether to choose a public or private university.

A 2025 analysis from Chase shows just how big the gap can be. Private school tuition averages more than double public in-state rates, but generous aid packages can help narrow that difference.

And when you factor in outcomes, some public schools deliver similar value at a fraction of the price.

💭 The real decision isn’t just about cost — it’s about value.

Consider:
• The net price after scholarships and grants
• Debt load vs. future earning potential
• Fit, support systems, and opportunities that will shape the next four years

🧠 The best choice is the one that balances financial reality with personal goals.

If you or someone you know is weighing college offers this winter, now is the perfect time to sit down, compare numbers, and make an intentional decision about this major investment in the future.

🚗 Do you lease or buy cars?

The holidays are one of the busiest car-buying seasons of the year, and many people are asking, “Should I buy or lease a car?” right now.

The trade-offs, according to 2025 Consumer Reports, are as you likely know:
• Leasing = often lower monthly payments and perhaps a new car every few years
• Buying = can be higher upfront cost but potentially lower long-term expense and eventual ownership
• Leasing comes with mileage caps and potential fees, while buying can lead to equity in the vehicle

💭 The real decision isn’t just about payments, it’s about priorities:
• Do you value driving a new car every few years, or owning one outright?
• How many miles do you drive annually?
• What does your budget look like over the next 3–5 years?

🧠 This is a great time to run the numbers and choose the option that aligns with your financial goals for the year ahead. We can help clients evaluate the pros and cons of this decision. Let us help you if you’re thinking about which works best for you.

✨ Are YOU making the most of your year-end charitable giving?

As 2025 winds down, charitable giving is top of mind for many families, not just as a tradition, but as a strategic financial move.

A few things to keep in mind:
▪️ A large amount of annual online donations happen in December, with 20 percent made on December 31.
▪️ Starting in 2026, new rules might adjust deductions for high earners and corporations.

Some financially smart ways you can give:
✔️ Consider giving your required minimum distributions to charity vs. getting taxed on the income
✔️ Setting up tools that make charitable giving part of your legacy
✔️ Donate appreciated securities instead of cash
✔️ Graduate to more sophisticated estate management approaches
✔️ “Bundle” several years of gifts for tax purposes

💡 Charitable giving is both emotional and strategic. With the right approach, you can make a meaningful impact while considering financial benefits. Let us know if you want to talk strategies.

👉 Have you used any of these approaches in your giving?
👉 Work with your financial and tax professionals before making any changes.

💡 Are your charitable dollars working as hard as they could?

Giving Tuesday is an opportunity to consider not just how much to give, but also how to give.

With a little preparation, generosity can go further—both for the causes that matter most and your overall financial strategy.

One strategy to consider is donating appreciated assets. Another involves depreciated assets, which may seem counterintuitive but can work in some instances.

There are several approaches we can review that pursue tax efficiency, support long-term goals, and even shape a family’s legacy.

This is where working with a financial professional can add real value, helping generosity become a coordinated part of an overall strategy. We’re here to help.
