Saturday, September 26th Laurie and I participated in the Alamance County Walk to End Alzheimer's along with many of our other local Edward Jones colleagues. Since our commitment began in 2016, we’ve surpassed 130,000 walkers and contributed more than $58.6 million to Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Our colleagues, clients and community members have walked alongside nearly 3,000 Edward Jones Walk to End Alzheimer's® teams annually across 600+ communities. Now in our 11th year as National Presenting Sponsor, the firm has extended its alliance with the Alzheimer's Association® through 2030, reaffirming our promise to stay in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. This year, the Alamance County Walk has raised over $160,000 for the cause, making it the most successful of our local walks yet!

The first $100,000 is often the hardest milestone to reach — and the most rewarding.

Early on, progress can feel slow, especially when you're balancing family, work and other financial priorities. But once your portfolio grows, investment returns can begin doing more of the heavy lifting.

If you're working toward your first $100,000, stay focused on the habits that matter most: investing consistently, staying diversified and remaining committed through market ups and downs. Those habits can make all the difference over time.

Your first $100,000: why it matters most

Many people assume financial confidence comes with age. In my experience, it's not quite that simple.

New research from Edward Jones and Gallup shows that people across generations share concerns about their financial future. Younger adults are often working to build wealth, while older adults are focused on making their savings last. But both are looking for greater peace of mind about what's ahead.

That's one reason I enjoy helping clients create personalized strategies that align with their goals and priorities, both today and as their needs evolve over time.

Older adults are much more confident than younger adults in managing their current finances. Confidence in managing future finances, however, differs less by age.

The Fed raised interest rates for the first time in three years, as widely expected. While the announcement prompted an initial market reaction, resilient economic growth, strong corporate earnings and continued consumer spending could help support equities, even if interest rates move somewhat higher. Meanwhile, higher short-term bond yields may create new opportunities for investors seeking income.

Brian Therien, Investment Strategist, shares his perspective on what a more hawkish Fed policy could mean for investors in the latest Weekly Market Wrap: https://bit.ly/4h7lQPX
