What obstacles are keeping you from achieving your financial goals?
Our relationship with money is influenced by our behaviors and beliefs, and the biggest obstacle from where you are today to achieving financial clarity is not opportunity or income - it's you controlling you.
At this engaging presentation, personal finance expert Rachel Cruze will share how to identify your personal money psychology, strengths, and challenges, and teach us how to make healthier money decisions.
• How your upraising shaped your money personality.
• Fears that drive most money decisions.
• How to identify what motivates you to spend, save, and give money.
You have the power to determine your financial future. It's time to invest what matters to you most.

Cascade West Group Honors Bill Engler: Giving Tuesday Initiative Launch
With deep gratitude and heartfelt remembrance, Cascade West Group is proud to launch a special Giving Tuesday initiative on June 3, 2025, in loving memory of Bill Engler.
Bill was more than just a valued client—he was a passionate advocate for our mission and one of the earliest champions of our Tough Against Cancer (TAC) initiatives. His generosity, compassion, and steadfast belief in our cause created a legacy that continues to inspire everything we do.
Tragically, Bill passed away in March due to unexpected surgical complications. His memorial service on May 31 was a poignant celebration of a life lived with purpose, kindness, and extraordinary impact.
As we carry his spirit forward, we dedicate this Giving Tuesday initiative to Bill’s memory and the enduring legacy he leaves behind.
We invite you to honor Bill’s life and vision by supporting the Tough Against Cancer Foundation: https://bit.ly/4ks0KuX
Every contribution helps us continue the important work Bill so deeply believed in.

Supplemental disability insurance: What it is and when you need it
Unsure if you need supplemental disability insurance? Disability insurance through your employer only covers a portion of your salary, leaving a gap in financial support for your family, if you're unable to work for an extended period of time. Let's connect if you'd like to add an additional layer of income protection.
This Memorial Day, we remember with gratitude the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
