The family keeps on growing!

This summer, Michelle went down to Ocean City Maryland with her mom's side of the family. The crew had to rent multiple houses in Ocean Pines to fit all of the aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews, but they were able to squeeze together for a family dinner at Michelle's house for one of the nights.

Even sunburnt and sandy from a day at the beach, it's always nice to have the whole family gathered in one place. We counted 37 people who were able to make the trip to the beach this summer. How many can you count?

According to the Social Security Administration, 97% of adults between ages 60 and 89 will take social security in their lifetime. Needless to say, we get asked a lot of questions about social security, but the top two questions we receive are:

1. When should I take social security?
2. How can I maximize my social security benefits?

For general information answering these two questions, read our article, "Social Security: Maximizing Benefits," found here: https://www.guided-wealth.com/resource-center/retirement/maximizing-your-social-security-benefits

Despite all the big changes happening in their lives, Stacey and her girls were still able to hit the beach this summer!

Stacey's eldest daughter, Kenya, is about to leave for grad school, and her younger daughter, Keisha, is heading into her senior year of college. Wish them luck on the upcoming semester! Hopefully, they'll study hard and be just as smart as their mom someday. 🧠💡🧐

This week, the Sianos got some ax-ercise!

Gary's nephew, Joseph, planned a family fun night at a local ax-throwing facility, Bury the Hatchet King of Prussia PA Axe Throwing. Gary, Tara, and Michelle all joined in on the fun, along with some other members of the Siano crew. Despite being newbies, the group hit quite a few bullseyes and trick shots!

Next time you talk to Gary, ask him about hitting just the right ring on the target to win the game for his team twice in a row!

All in all, the evening really hit the mark. 🎯

Tara and Gary have been busy with out-of-town guests for the past two weeks - and now that they're gone, we miss them already!

Tara met Pureum and her son, Wanni, at her part-time job in grad school in South Korea. The rest of the Sianos met Wanni, Pureum and her husband, Taehyung, on their trip to Seoul in 2023. Now, three years later, Gary and Tara hosted the Kim family on their first ever trip to the USA!

We crossed off several items on their checklist, including: Longwood Gardens, Reading Terminal Market, Marsh Creek, the Franklin Institute, Citizens Bank Park, Otherworld, and Hersheypark!

What should we add to their list for their next visit?

Join us in congratulating the two on their beautiful day and wishing them the best of luck as they start their future together!

Remember Tara's first tomato? Well look at her harvest now!

As a reminder, Jesse gave Tara a few tomatoes, peppers, and herbs to start a backyard garden on her deck. So far, the basil has made a delicious panzanella while the mint has jazzed up lemonade and watermelon-and-feta salad all summer long.

Tara will be sure to make good use of her celery, tomatoes, and peppers as she continues to harvest. 🌱

At Guided Wealth, we’re often asked what someone in their 50s should be doing to prepare for retirement. Here are 5 helpful things to do besides piling up your savings.

After all, retirement is easier when your big purchases and big risks are paid for in advance. It’s easier to buy large items, like new homes and new cars, while you still have a W-2 and your buying power is at its strongest.

And of course, talk to a Retirement Income Certified Professional for a personalized checklist to prepare you for your retirement years. At Guided Wealth, we’re always here to help.
