With Easter just around the corner, I had to have some fun with a financial classic: “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” We hear this phrase a lot—but what does it really mean? In the financial world, it’s all about diversification: spreading your investments across different asset types or strategies so you’re not overly exposed to the risk of one single outcome. But here’s the thing—this doesn’t mean you need multiple financial institutions or accounts all over the place. In fact, keeping your strategy centralized with an experienced financial advisor can make it easier to stay organized and diversified in a smart, intentional way. Think of it like one sturdy basket… with lots of different kinds of eggs inside! Wishing you a joyful and hope-filled Easter season! If you’re wondering what your “basket” looks like these days, let’s chat—I’d love to help you take a fresh look at your financial picture. #Thrivent #TeamThrivent #Easter #EasterSeason While diversification can help reduce market risk, it does not eliminate it. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. See Thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

Reminder: April 15th is Tax Day! If you haven’t filed yet, this is your sign to stop procrastinating and start calculating. Don’t let Tax Day sneak up on you like a Zoom meeting you forgot was on your calendar — sudden, confusing, and somehow already halfway over. Finish strong, your future self (and maybe your refund) will thank you. #TaxDay #CrunchTime #Thrivent #PittsburghAdvisor #TeamThrivent See Thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.

What’s the backbone of a rock-solid financial plan? 🪨💵 The biggest pillars aren’t products or apps—they’re strategies: 1️⃣ Budgeting → Track every dollar. Tip: Use the 50/30/20 rule (needs/wants/savings). 2️⃣ Emergency Fund → Aim for 3-6 months of expenses. Start small, automate savings! 3️⃣ Debt Management → Prioritize high-interest debt. Tip:Snowball or avalanche method. 4️⃣ Investing→ Start early, diversify. Even $50/month compounds over time. 5️⃣ Insurance→ Protect your future (health, life, disability). 6️⃣ Retirement→ Max employer matches, increase contributions yearly. Stick to these fundamentals, and you’ll build wealth *consistently*. Need help tailoring this to your life? 💬 Let’s chat! #Thrivent #TeamThrivent #PittsburghAdvisor #FinancialPlanning #SmartMoney #BudgetHacks #InvestingTips #DebtFreeJourney See Thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.
