Newsletter Begins, Cliff Notes of Q1 2023 …. Friday

With the turning of the Month to the last one of the year…. Can you guys believe that? Wow…The Newsletter writing begins….

On a personal note, if in a rush, the brain does not seem to be as clear…. the totally opposite of those meeting the constant overnight deadlines… not sure how they do it…

A Modern Monetary Theory is included, something very negatively seen from my perch before, but in trying to view from all angles, worth a detailed review…

Lots of new much higher retirement contribution level amounts, a complete “Well Formatted” list is hopefully in the cards…

Some sunsetting of Estate Tax Levels coming in 2026 – ya we are planners, that will be here before we know it…. a review of the changes looks to make the cut…

Ok…so there you have the Cliff Note’s version of the Q1 2023 Newsletter and how the sausage is made…haha

Today is a Friday heading into a first December Weekend … Enjoy and talk next week!

If you made it this far, you will also notice I forgot to set this post time… Glad its a Friday! Better late than never!

Break In: Spring Spotted … Spring Break Next Week … Newsletter Completion … Time Change Weekend YAY! … Friday …

With an unused make up snow day today (not sure how that happened but oh well) – kiddos out today – and next week being Spring Break an attempt personally to take some R & R time next week, I am out today and next week….

Always tethered, this time lightly as Jen and Donald are very capable of covering !

BREAK IN – Spring has sprung… each year the family watches for the early budding Tree in the back yard… Great News, the deep freeze of just a few weeks ago did not do our early budding tree in AND in the last 24 hours the blooms have started…

Who needs the Groundhog… kidding-

Well done Pierce for spotting !

Newsletter Update

While gone, the finishing touches will be put on the Newsletter, AND next week we will do a shortened version of one of the main articles – Why You Should Check Your Social Security Earnings Record Now!

Time Change Weekend – YAY

In addition to a little R and R, next week, we get my favorite time change! YAY

Sure we lose an hour of sleep…

Sure it seems to take a bit longer to adjust as the years go by…

But the Suns stays up LATE in the evenings…

Friday and Next Weeks Posts

If I can stay away from the keyboard – no promises…haha

In addition to the Newsletter Preview Post mentioned above, a re-run of another reminder post will occur as well.. hat tip DK from the field as a neat reminder!

Ahhhh…. but today is a Friday and I am away, but tethered lightly… enjoy your weekend and your Friday!

Office Hours, Holiday Schedules, Season of Gentleman’s Agreement on Wall Street, Newsletter Preview, Slow Money Reminder …

Over the next two weeks, with staggered schedules, our office, which our building manager is still continuing to ask us not to have guests, will be open sporadically. We will collectively be working remotely or out of the office on various family holiday getaways.

Donald “The Brain” is happily in a warmer climate near water, loosely connected to the office for some much needed and much earned R&R this week after a full spring, summer, and fall, of lock downs.

My time actually occurs next week after Christmas and through New Year’s.

Jen will be in and out remotely connected with a few official bookend days for holidays and long weekends throughout the next two weeks.

One big positive of the events of this year is the ease of pivot to remote for all of us!

A Gentleman‘s Agreement on Wall Street!

While in recent years we’ve seen this agreement violated, look no further than some of the sharp drop offs during this time just a year ago, generally there is an unwritten gentleman‘s agreement to “do no harm” during this time of the year. Meaning capital markets usually do not trade upward or downward in dramatic fashion throughout the remainder of the year.

Under normal circumstances the next two weeks, partial trading weeks …with closures on each Friday and half a day before the holiday trading would be BORING and very low volume….trying not to jinx ourselves here!

Newsletter Update

With a newsletter chocked full of great Financial Planning, Income Tax, and Personal reminders, and being non-market related, the Newsletter is complete and we hope to have it to you during the holidays for some possible fun reading that you may have during down time.

We think it came out fantastic, and tribute the great bulk of subject matter to you guys for the experiences, reminders, and techniques that we did this year.

Our posts here at Street-Cents will likely not be as regular and much lighter over the next two weeks as well!

Remember, as mentioned here in this urgent reminder post, Financial Institutions in every area of service are greatly overloaded for some reason this year, and as such MONEY IS MOVING SLOW…. do not wait until the last minute for a Financial Transaction, especially if it is personal!

Happy Holidays, Be Well, Be Safe, and Happy New Years!

Newsletter Preview, Meet Peter Diamandis, Again … Friday

Way back in 2015, just after a conference on the West Coast after first meeting  Peter Diamandis, we wrote about our fantastic encounter here, here and here …..

(It’s really neat to have a living Diary of sorts that we can look back on these prior writings… digressing!)

Fast Forward to today and our coming Q 3 Newsletter

Peter estimates that not only will a cure be discovered, but many multiple cures will be discovered due to the collective minds across the globe.

Sneak Peek Newsletter PREVIEW… Happy Friday

On our second quarter Newsletter of 2014, we fell behind! Isaac, the wonderful newest addition to our family firm, terrible taxes, and regular seasonality put a crimp in our delivery. Because of that occurrence we have worked hard to get an earlier start on our Newsletters since then. As a by-product, better content, deeper articles, more revision time, and greater feedback from you, our clients. As they say …

One step back, two forward”

Fantastic coming Newsletter Preview

Ta Da …. Here is a quick overview:Newsletter Webpage Snaphot

  • Deep tax savings ideas (not too late for 2014 savings)
  • Social Security Review and detailed technique possibilities
  • Medicare deep dive options and explanations
  • Interest Rate analysis/research (two articles discuss this)
  • Bragging on Donald’s honored industry roundtable request
  • Capital markets play chicken with a  Federal Reserve official (not kidding here)
  • Great charts, historical data research and references

Ahhhh…. but today is another Friday … with a lot of folks out of the office, enjoy your day and be safe as the weather is tough throughout a lot of the country!
