Sound, visionary stewardship
Welcome
 Seasons change and so do we. Our lives are always evolving. And that's a good thing.
Fall is a time of gathering and preparing for the winter season. It's a good time to make plans and look to spend time closer to home. Above is one of my favorite fall views in the Berkshires.
It's also a good time for small business owners and entrepreneurs, who are 10-15 years from retirement, to start thinking about how to maximize those years. We will be teaching a workshop called the Entrepreneur's Dilemma: Strategies for Retirement Planning at the South Shore Chamber of Commerce on November 12 at noon. Details will be available soon. Feel free to email me for more information in the meantime.
What's on your fall agenda?
Cheers,
p.s. We sent out the following message to our clients about the volatility in the market. We hope you find it helpful.
We are proud to be a Registered Investment Advisor. Learn more about the benefits of working with an RIA.

From Bill's corner...
Eagle eye on Social Security
"The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness." - John Muir
Over the summer, I had the experience of a lifetime visiting Alaska. I climbed mountains in the Chugach National Forest, got up close to glaciers the Kenai Fjords National Park, hiked the tundra that traversed the Katmai National Park and fished the rivers that feed Bristol Bay. The scenery was unforgettable. You might be asking: "Did I see any grizzlies?" You betcha! While I fished the rivers and streams, these enormous creatures lumbered close by with their heads down looking for fish - salmon to be exact.
The thousand-pound grizzlies and I were not the only great fishermen in Alaska. American bald eagles were everywhere. In 1782, the bald eagle was chosen as the emblem of the United States because of its long life, great strength and majestic look. A little known fact is that bald eagles mate for life. Unfortunately, many humans do not stay together. Divorce is very common. Knowing a divorce's impact on Social Security is a cornerstone of a good financial plan.
Social Security is a gender-neutral program. Benefits apply to both males and females or ex-husbands and ex-wives. Divorcees will receive Social Security benefits without filing any special papers at the time of divorce.

 Have you tried Uber? Uber is evolving the way the world moves. By seamlessly connecting riders to drivers through their apps, they make cities more accessible, opening up more possibilities for riders and more business for drivers. You don't need cash when you ride with Uber. Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on file - no need to tip. They'll even e-mail you a receipt. Sounds pretty cool! |
