It’s Time for a Dose of Vitamin See

Most people think of financial planning or investments as a numbers business. At Financial Concepts, we know financial planning is much more than numbers. We know that money represents love and family. Your plan is for all the reasons you say, “Life is Good.”

No one invests to beat the market. Or to reduce their tax bill. Instead, they invest to educate children or grandchildren, to travel, or to stay home.  They invest to fund the things they choose when they don’t have to go to work anymore.

How about those Dawgs?

Baseball is often called the Great American Pastime…and wow, if this year's College World Series wasn't a fantastic way to head into summer and lazy, hazy days! Nothing like a championship to lighten the mood even when the temperature is soaring.

Don’t Look at Your Feet

By the time you finish this blog, you may feel like you’ve completed a Triathalon, running, riding, and swimming. 2020 feels like that.

This year has been anything but smooth, as investors, for many physically or many financially. All around 2020 has brought more than a fair share of challenges. But we have made it halfway!

This is Risk

Downward volatility makes all of us anxious. Even those of us who have been through a Bear market eight times….8 times in a 35-year career get anxious.  Bear markets make even the seasoned planner, investor, and money manager anxious.

But having done this eight times, we know it will end. We never know the reason. Or the timing. Or how bad it will be, but we do know, this too shall pass. We plan. We prepare.
