America consumes about 150 million hot dogs each year on this holiday!
From 1776 to today, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts, to more casual family gatherings and barbecues. The tradition of Independence Day celebration goes back to the 18th century and American Revolution. In the pre-Revolutionary years, colonists held annual celebrations of the king’s birthday, which traditionally included ringing of bells, bonfires and speeches. By contrast, during the summer of 1776, some colonists celebrated the dawn of independence by holding mock funerals for King George III as a way of symbolizing the end of the monarchy’s hold on America and the triumph of liberty. Moral of the story.. we’re blessed to have our freedom and we’ve always known how to party!

Have you talked to your financial advisor? During these uncertain times, it is important to keep your long-term financial goals in mind. Consider acting on the following: 1. Revisit the question “Am I on the right track?” 2. Evaluate your true risk tolerance. Has the recent downturn worried you about your current asset allocation? 3. When was the last time you updated your investment/retirement/estate plan? 4. Learn what The CARES Act entails (ex. Required Minimum Distribution waived for 2020.) 5. Create a game plan for what happens if the Emergency reserve runs dry. Now may be the perfect time to call one of our financial advisors to make sure you are on track to reaching your long-term goals!
