Celebrating 250 Years of American Independence As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, it's a great time to reflect on the freedoms and opportunities we often take for granted. We're incredibly fortunate to live in a country where we have the freedom to build businesses, raise our families, pursue our dreams, and give back to our communities. Those freedoms exist because of the countless men and women who have served and sacrificed to protect them, and today we're grateful for each of them. We're also grateful for the opportunity to serve the individuals and families who place their trust in Pilot Wealth Advisors. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your financial journey. From all of us at Pilot Wealth Advisors, we wish you and your family a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day. Happy Fourth of July! See thrivent.com/social for disclosures.

Had a really good group out last night talking through the 5 Phases of an IRA. A lot of the tax conversations we have with clients start to come together when you take a step back and look at the bigger picture over your lifetime. Tax planning isn’t reacting each year after you file your return. It’s about being intentional over time with how and when income shows up, and where opportunities might exist to reduce your lifetime tax bill. Appreciate everyone who made time to come out!See thrivent.com/social for disclosures.
