Between vacations, camps, and all the little extras that come with summer, it's easy to lose track of where the money is going—especially when you're the only one keeping an eye on it.

I came across this genuinely useful roundup of the best budgeting apps for families. It breaks down which ones let multiple people share access, set goals together, and keep kids in the loop too.

Worth a read if summer expenses are starting to feel like a lot to manage:

Business owners and employers:

Did you know you can offer valuable voluntary benefits to your employees at no direct cost to the business?

These programs can help increase the value of the positions you offer, improve employee retention, and give your team access to important financial protection options they may not be able to secure on their own.

Benefits can include:
• Life insurance
• Disability income protection
• Long term care solutions
• Supplemental coverage options

A stronger benefits package can make a major difference in attracting and keeping quality employees while showing your team that you care about their future.

If you would like to learn more about how this could work for your business, feel free to contact me. I would be happy to see how I can help.

Annuity rates are at the highest I have seen since joining New York Life.

If you have “lazy money,” old 401(k)s, or are looking to reduce market risk and create more stability in your financial strategy, now is a great time to explore your options.

Current rates are at 4.7%, but rates change every Sunday, so there are only a few days left at the current level.

One of the biggest financial gaps we see with the average American is the risk of outliving their income in retirement. Proper planning matters.
