Merry Christmas (almost!). Yes, that’s a bear. A real one.
Gatlinburg was full of 🐻 sightings! I was just on that same staircase 5 minutes earlier!
I gotta wonder- how did this bear know how to fish? How to hunt? How to climb trees? Oh yeah…someone taught her.
So, how do you know how much life insurance you need? How much should be pre-tax vs Roth? How much you need for retirement? Oh yeah…someone should TEACH you!!!

The road, or bridge, to retirement can be long and scary. You may wobble or shake from time to time. But keep going. Keep putting one foot in front of the next. It’s worth it to plan. It’s worth it to reach that goal!

Money can be an uphill battle. What keeps you up at night? A lot of us have work to do on our foundation- emergency savings, protection, and planning for a sickness or injury.
If this is you, let’s talk. January appointments now available.

What charity is special to you, and how are they in need this season?
Our Christmas tree this year was just a sapling last year. It was watered and nurtured and cared for, and look at how much it grew!
Your financial plan is a lot like this! The old adage, “the best time to plant a tree was yesterday; the next best time is today” is true for making a change to spending and savings habits.

What do you think about receiving handwritten cards?
- ❤️ Love ‘em! It’s personal and a lost art!
-🤷🏻♀️ Meh. It’s nice but I would not care either way.
- 👩🏻💻 Email is just as fine.
- 📨 You assume it’s a bill and don’t even open cards.
I love getting and writing cards but I would love to see your comments!
This picture has a SCENT. An aroma of nostalgia and Christmas and freshness and life. It’s incredible!
Thank you @Thrivent for the amazing wreath- it looks and smells beautiful! 🎁
