TheLiveBigWay Digest – Roundup and Residents

Insights from Far West Roundup

In the last Digest, we shared pictures from the Far West Roundup conference the Yeske Buie Financial Planning team attended in Santa Cruz, CA. In this issue, we offer some take-aways from the conference. With fewer than 100 attendees, Far West Roundup offers a much more casual and intimate atmosphere than other financial planning conferences. The collegial atmosphere has a significant impact on the vibe of the conference. For those four days, planners can focus solely on being students of the profession again.

Eiissa and Dave at V&E

Growing the Family Tree

One of the stops on Elissa and Dave’s recent two week trip to Europe is London, England. Visits to London are special for Elissa and Dave as Elissa’s mother was British and she still has many relatives living in the area. See pictures of Elissa and Dave in London and Barcelona.

While visiting her family and remembering many childhood summers spent in England, we were reminded of the Family Tree exercise members of the Yeske Buie team completed as a reflection on the lessons we learned from loved ones past and present. We offer up the example of Elissa’s and Dave’s family trees, along with a blank one that you can print out and complete for yourself.

 Retirement Special: Planning for the New Old

Samantha Allen recently wrote an article in Financial Planning Magazine that focused on the key questions and assumptions to consider when planning for retirement, most especially, how to think about longevity. She enlisted Dave’s help among the group of planners featured in the article to address how to determine what is enough for retirement, how much you should be left with, and which questions are important to ask to determine the appropriate longevity and lifestyle assumptions. Read Dave’s contributions and the entire Financial Planning Magazine article.
