witeckccWhat Repeal Of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Means To Us All 
 
By Bob Witeck

In high school, most of us seem to be walking bundles of anxieties.  I remember vividly when I graduated from high school I faced the twin fears of my emerging sexual orientation as well as the possible induction into the U.S. Army and worse, an unwelcome military tour in Vietnam.  Both felt heavy burdens for any teenager.

Peer Group Websites As Next Social Media Marketing Wave
 
By Matt Skallerud

davidraeThe Great Recession Happened:  

Now What?


By David Rae

The "Great Recession" of the past three years has put many people through

rollercoaster ride financially and emotionally. Many of you have seen dramatic drops in the value of your homes, businesses, and investments. This

meltdown has cost baby boomers money they could not afford to lose, just before or just after they entered retirement.   Most boomers, have some type of advisor (CPA, Attorney, Broker, Insurance Agent, Ouija Board), but very few also work with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) to help them guide the team of financial professionals  though the myriad of options, decisions and challenges that face Americans planning for retirement.
