While some children went back to school or moved across the country, other children are now, more commonly, living at home after graduating college. Compared to 20% of individuals who were living at their parents’ home in 1960, now over 36% of individuals ranging from 18-34 are “nesting” – and that number continues to rise. As the economy changes and concerns for Millennials finding a steady career continues, you as parents are left with a decision. Do you charge rent? […]

Debt is a scary word that no one likes to think or talk about. The reality is, however, that millions of Americans are in debt at varying levels. Even a small amount of debt can cause high levels of stress in our lives. It can seem that at one moment it is manageable and then before you know it you are so far into it you can’t see a way out. No matter what age, we’ve all seen some kind […]

It’s 6:00 AM and you hear your child’s alarm clock going off. Suddenly it stops, there’s a warm smile that comes across your face thinking about your child is growing up and getting themselves out of bed for their first day of school. You hear the coffee pot’s beep and the loud sound of the blades grinding your coffee beans. It seems like the perfect morning. And then your child’s alarm clock goes off again at 6:30 AM! The warm […]

The recent market volatility from the Brexit decision by the UK is just the latest event to cause investors to worry about their portfolio’s. And while the markets rebounded fairly quickly the pattern of slight gain, stagnant, slight loss, slight gain, etc. continues. Worries about the economy in China, what will happen with the rest of the EU, our own political issues and sluggish economy, it seems to be a never ending cascade of poor news which keeps those nest […]

The word “gym” is a contraction of “gymnasium” derived from the ancient Greek word gymnasion. The ancient Greek gymnasiums were places where athletes trained for public games such as the Olympics. Now I know I just sounded like Gus Portokalos from “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”, but it’s true! People have been going to the gym for centuries upon centuries, working hard to be physically fit, the best and the number one contender of the people. It wasn’t until the […]

There comes a time in most family’s lives when the kids are grown and hopefully, by then, the middle-aged “basement dwellers” have moved out. I say that with a smile, and a smile because if you have children, no matter how big of a headache they may have given you over the years, they will always be your babies. It’s in your nature as a parent to always continue to provide and be there for your children no matter what. […]

The companionship of a four legged furry dog is one like no other. You walk into your home after a long day and there they are, tail-wagging, tongue hanging out and excited as ever to see you. If you’re a dog lover, you know the pride and joy of owning and raising a dog. But with that pride and joy comes the costs. For those of you looking to add a dog to your family, have you considered how much […]

There’s an old saying – “Buy low and sell high”. Ironically, investors tend to do just the opposite – buying high and selling low. Why do we do that; and most especially, how can we avoid doing that now with the market lingering on the edge of a huge cliff? Since we are all human, we do what human’s do- act on emotional, rather than intellectual, drives. Let’s say you’re sitting at home and turn on the news. You hear […]
