Team MONECO - Giving Back To Our Team
Recently team member Eric Johnson, Financial Planner and Director of Marketing & Communications, was made aware by fellow team member, Salim Boutagy, that his children love to jump at the local gymnasium. Eric's kids had outgrown his own children's trampoline, so he took the weekend to disassemble and hand deliver a barely used set up he owned and was greeted with quite the special thank you. A hand drawn picture by Salim's son Blake. Now Blake and his sister will have years of back flips, double bounces, and taking turns showing mom and dad who can jump the highest! We wish Salim and his kids many years of memories and a true act of kindness that runs deep with how we treat our MONECO clients, community and team members, with the common theme of always to be giving back!

The FED Rate Hikes Take Hold
The consumer price index recently rose just 0.1% in March and 5% from a year ago, below estimates. We are beginning to see more signs that the FED's moves over the past year are beginning to slow the economy, and although counter intuitive, it is hopefully what the economy and the consumer is desiring to see. As always, if you have any questions of how this could impact your long-term financial plan, do not hesitate to reach out!
