If you’d like to align your investments with your financial goals, let’s set up a meeting.
What is one money mistake that taught you the most?
For me, it was that good credit matters! Had no idea what credit was, let alone how to build good credit coming out of college. When I went to buy Jen’s engagement ring, I quickly learned people aren’t really eager to lend money/extend credit to someone that has no history (good or bad).

Jen & I have always done a very good job of talking bills & finances. Whether it was when we were just starting out and had nothing, up ‘till now when we’ve accumulated more “stuff” (and the bills that go with it). No surprise purchases or unknown expenses – we talk through almost everything and make decisions as a team.
Do you have a financial habit that you're proud of?

It seems quaint these days…. But I remember learning how to manage & balance checkbook at a pretty young age. Growing up on a farm, I logged hours and got a regular paycheck. My parents had me open a checking account and would have me sit down and balance it every month (no logging in, seeing what your current balance is and calling that good). That said, I couldn’t tell you the last time I grabbed my ledger & statement and worked backwards to make sure things squared away (sorry mom!)
Do you have a money lesson that you remember learning growing up?

Merry Christmas from our team to yours! We hope you are able to soak in the time with family, enjoy the time off, and prepare for the beginning of the new year!
We normally don't make gingerbread houses because it seems to be a waste of good gingerbread to me! But, here's picture of Lauren with her gingerbread house just a few years ago. ;)
Do you make gingerbread houses?
We have no set menu for Christmas dinner, it's really whatever mood strikes us! We've done: brisket, tamales, lasagna, and ham.
What's your go to Christmas dinner?
Do you open Christmas presents on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or both?
Our family only opens on Christmas Day -- I'm sure this was after all the festivities!
We have always hosted Christmas often time because Jen worked either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. My parents usually come up either the night before and spend the night or will come up day of and spend the day with us. I suspect as the girls' lives start taking them in different directions, this may soon change.
Do you travel to see family or do you have special traditions at home? Let us know!
It’s hard to believe the year is already winding down! While shopping, baking and holiday gatherings may be at the top of your to-do list, don’t forget to carve out time for a year-end financial checkup.
Taking these 6 steps now can help you minimize your taxes, strengthen your savings and start the new year on solid footing.

I'm part of the 'wait until very last minute' mob! I do have to admit, Amazon has made life a lot easier -- don't have to throw elbows on Christmas Eve. I don't know if I admire or loath those people who are organized enough to shop throughout the year.
Do you shop throughout the year or do you wait until closer to the holiday?
