Back to Basics Series – Educational Funding
In our continued fun “Back To Basics” Series here we discuss Educational Funding…
Here is one very important item to remember from the post:
Did you notice we put Retirement Planning BEFORE Education planning? Do you recall in Part 3 in Debt Planning we said one of the few good debts are educational related debts ….We of course are not advocating Student debt/loans… but they are available in abundance and again not a bad debt. There are not retirement planning loans…. just saying!
Proxy Vote Reminder
In this post we remind you to please reach out if you have fallen off the list for us to proxy vote for you!
If you are getting those pesky Proxy Notices (some can be small books- oh the trees that are destroyed- digressing) reach out to us, we not only vote the Proxies for you, but we get one single notice for everyone, and Jen has done an excellent job in getting a great deal of those electronically…. Did we say how Green this is?

The Slowdown is Here
We first started speaking of the slowdown in our Q 1 2022 Newsletter here in our “Anatomy of a Slowdown” main aricle actually released in December of 2021….
And then again, here in our Q 2 2022 Newsletter ….
Then again here, here, here, here, and again here.… among a few other times…
Last week the BEA “Officially Released” a negative GDP print as noted here in our post and in this chart….
Never get the timing exactly, but we are not surprised and have been waiving the flag here in our talks and are prepared!
Have a Great Day, Talk to You at the End of May!

Lump Sum Offer Reminder
After running into an unusual offer from a Pension Buy Out, we reminded ourselves these generally come in Waves….

Trust But Verify, offers can be wildly in accurate!
Capital Market Comments
Look Forward, Not Back
In this early month post here, we discuss Jerome Powell’s 180 turn from stimulus to brake and in particular as it relates to interest rates…
Then again in a similar post an update on Interest Rates….
While counter intuitive, as the FOMC/Jerome Powell raise interest rates, historically interest rates eventually fall as the Brake action kicks in and slows the economy
Have a Great Day, Talk to You at the End of June!
