Have You Reviewed Your Earnings Record?

Social Security is a topic that starts to come into conversation as retirement approaches – When can I start to receive benefits? How much will my benefit be? What about my spouse’s benefit? In addition to discussing and reviewing the options, there are other questions to consider and review prior to that time period.

Finding Financial Independence

With the July 4th weekend upon us, it’s hard not to reflect on the qualities that have made the US unique (when not thinking about baseball, barbecues, and fireworks, that is). Most notably, of course, is our independence. When it comes to financial independence, however, it may not be as easy to reflect on the meaning or embodiment of the term. This ambiguity may be frustrating, but it also allows for individuals to define the term for themselves. Today, we share tools and resources to help you explore and reflect on your definition of financial independence.

Bigger Bang for Your Buck

Despite the title, we’re not writing to offer our suggestions on where you may find the best fireworks show this upcoming holiday weekend! Rather, we’re writing to bring your attention to a recent negotiation between Yeske Buie and Schwab that will save you money. Effective this past May, Schwab agreed to lower the trading fees in all of our Clients’ accounts to a flat rate of $20 – previously, the fee was between $25 – $50 based on the amount of the trade. While the previous fees were competitive, it is our goal to minimize all expenses for our Clients to allow your portfolios the best opportunity to grow. This change aligns with this goal and we will continue to be on the lookout for similar opportunities in the future.
