    3 Steps For A More Enjoyable and Affordable Holiday Season!

    November 28, 2022 /

    We have the holidays upon us, so I thought this would be the perfect to talk about holiday spending, planning and sanity. I love to think of the last quarter of the year as a time of celebration and spending extra time with the ones that I love.  But it has become such a stressful time of year for American’s. Why? Maybe it is because of the amount of money we are spending to celebrate. From October to New Year’s American’s spend $1.5 trillion, yes, I said trillion dollars on four holidays. That averages out to about $12,000 per household. Wowzer!!! That is a lot of money for four days…

    Why Moms Need Life Insurance

    July 12, 2024 /

    Why Moms Need Life Insurance with Living Benefits As a mom, you’re the cornerstone of your family’s well-being, providing love, care, and stability. While life insurance is often seen as a safety net for families after a loss, incorporating living benefits into your policy can offer invaluable support while you’re still alive.

Thus saving monies earmarked for retirement! And unfortunately, we do not have a crystal ball that will let us…
