TheLiveBigWay® Digest – A Stiff Drink or A Good Novel

Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail

vote-2016-cropped2Although we’ve borrowed our title from Hunter S. Thompson’s book of essays on the 1972 presidential race, we’re here not to comment on Nixonian high jinks but on the closing days of the present contest. Fear and loathing seems an appropriate description of the public mood as we enter the final four days before that blessed release from our collective misery. As usual, the financial markets, ever sensitive to the public mood, have begun to vibrate in sympathy with ubiquitous anxiety. Which raises the inevitable question: what, if anything, should we do now, on the eve of the election? We recommend you reach for a stiff drink, a good novel, or a sappy movie, but leave the portfolio alone.

Referrals are the Greatest Compliment

Clients and referral sources have often told us that they hesitate to make a referral because they don’t know if friends, relatives, or coworkers meet our minimums or would otherwise be a good fit. Our message is that we are financial planning evangelists and would like to see everyone who seeks advice find a competent, ethical financial planner. Thus, we’re happy to talk to ANYONE who is referred to us and if, for whatever reason, we find that we’re not a good fit, we will work to match them up with an experienced financial planner who is.

If you know someone who may be interested in talking with us, please ask them to contact Lauren@YeBu.com or send Lauren the individual’s name and contact information so we may connect with them to set-up an initial meeting. We thank you for the continued trust you show in us by referring your friends, family, and colleagues so that we can help them to harness their financial resources to pursue exquisite, fulfilling lives.
