It's Election Day!

A day when everyone is suddenly an expert in economics, taxes, and the stock market.

In all seriousness though, regardless of what happens at the polls today, my advice is pretty much the same as it was yesterday.

Have a plan. Stay focused on what you can control. And, try not to let the headlines make your financial decisions for you.

Happy Election Day!

Rawr! 🦖🎃

Wishing everyone a Happy Halloween from the cutest dinosaur I know!

Hope your day is full of treats, not tricks! 🍬

Not quite the ending we hoped for, but what a year to be a Rays fan! 💙

A trip to the World Series, Porter's first (and second, and third, and fourth 😂) baseball game, and one last season at the Trop.

It's been a pretty special season, even without the championship.

Rays Up!

I've been seeing a lot of "finance bro" posts floating around lately, and as a woman in finance, I feel like we're being a little overlooked. 😂

I love a good tax strategy, investment discussion, and complicated financial planning question as much as the next finance bro.

I just happen to not be a bro.

And I'm certainly not the only one. There are some incredibly talented women in this industry doing great work, building businesses, and helping people make important decisions about their money.

So, where's the finance girl representation?

And more importantly, are we going with finance gals, finance girlies, or something else entirely?

Because I feel like we need to workshop this. 😂

It's spooky season, and as a financial advisor, there are a few things that scare me more than a haunted house. 🦇

I wish I could say that these were exaggerated for Halloween, but I have seen all of these at least once just in the last year.

Some are relatively easy to fix, and others take a little more work. But, all are good reminders that financial planning isn't something you do just once.

Take a look. Hopefully, none of these sound too familiar, but if they do, consider this a friendly reminder to get them checked of your to-do list before they become a bigger issue.

There are a lot of reasons people put off financial planning. Sometimes it's because they don't know where to start. Other times, they're worried about what they might find out.

But avoiding the conversation doesn't make the uncertainty go away.

You don't have to have everything figured out before you sit down with a financial advisor. That's part of what we're here to help with.

A little less uncertainty is always a good thing. Especially this time of year. 🎃

I shared yesterday about Porter starting daycare, so naturally this article caught my attention this morning.

The Associated Press published a story about families weighing the cost of childcare against what one parent actually brings home from work.

And, while that's obviously a big part of the decision, there's a lot more to consider.

Retirement contributions, employer benefits, future earning potential, career growth, and even how difficult it might be to reenter the workforce down the road.

But, there's also the personal side. What each parent wants, what works for the family, and what makes sense for their particular circumstances.

And sometimes, families don't have the luxury of choosing what they'd ideally like to do.

I don't think there's a right or wrong answer here. Staying home, working full-time, doing something in between... every family is different.

But, I do think it's important to look beyond the immediate paycheck when weighing a decision that can have such a big impact, both financially and personally.

Big day for our little guy! 💙 Porter’s first day at Parc Discovery Learning Center!

This one feels extra special after being involved with Parc Center for Disabilities for the last five years. Funny how life comes full circle!

Having Porter home with me this past year has been the best, but balancing work and a baby has definitely been a challenge. I’m going to miss our time together, but I’m also excited to get some of my workdays back. 😂

I think working moms put so much pressure on ourselves to feel guilty about these things. I’m reminding myself that being a good mom doesn’t mean putting every other part of yourself on hold. Taking care of ourselves makes us better parents, too.

Bittersweet, but excited for this next chapter! 💙

I wrote a little about the K-shaped economy in my latest newsletter, and then came across some pretty interesting data over the weekend that ties right into it.

According to the Federal Reserve, between 2022 and 2025, inflation-adjusted median wealth increased 38% for households headed by someone 75 or older.

For households under 35? It actually declined 23%.

Pretty wild difference.

But think about it. Someone who's spent decades investing and building equity in their home is experiencing the economy very differently than someone trying to buy their first house, pay for daycare, and start saving for retirement.

It's why I find the conversation around how the economy is doing so interesting. Two people can look at the exact same headlines and have completely different experiences.

The economy can look great on paper while plenty of people are still feeling financially stretched.

Anyway, I thought this was an interesting follow-up to my newsletter! If you'd like to receive future editions, let me know. I send them out quarterly with a mix of financial topics, planning ideas, and a little bit of everything else.

You can be really good at saving money and still not have a financial plan.

I see this more often than you might think.

People who have spent years doing all the right things. Contributing to retirement accounts, building up savings, investing consistently.

But, when I ask what they actually want that money to do for them, the answer isn't always so clear.

And, that's an important distinction.

Saving is about putting money away. Planning is about knowing what you're putting it away for, how much you'll need, and when you'll be able to use it.

The goal isn't just to accumulate more money. Its to be able to do something meaningful with it.

Happy National Savings Day!
