Team MONECO In The Community
This week around the office we had a two MONECO employees attend the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce Sunset Boat Cruise for a night of networking with business leaders in our local community! Associate Advisor Stephanie Van Albert and Senior Relationship Manger Chris Levene are members of the Fairfield Emerging Leaders Organization, which is a group within the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce that provides unique networking events, educational, social and philanthropic opportunities for like-minded professionals to engage and connect while enhancing professional skills.
MONECO is very active in the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce, with several of our partners serving as former board members and FELO members, but also supporting initiatives that the chamber supports every year. We believe the chamber is an integral part of the Fairfield community and helps foster economic development where all businesses succeed together. If you are living in Fairfield and thinking about starting a business or you are a current business owner, the Chamber of Commerce is a great resource for tools and access for businesses to be successful.

CPI Hotter Than Expected
With inflation still present in the U.S. economy and the FED's next move still on the table, last week the Consumer Price Index data came in hotter than expected. Next up is the FED's meeting this week and we will see after they digest this information, how it may influence their actions. As always if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out.

Upcoming Social Security Webinar
Don't guess when you should begin receiving social security benefits. Join us as we partner with MFS for a dynamic discussion regarding claiming strategies & timing!
According to the Social Security Administration, on average, retirement beneficiaries receive 40% of their retirement income from the program.* From a financial planning standpoint, it is imperative to determine where the shortfall of needed income will be made up. Claiming strategies and the timing of when to begin receiving benefits can often have a big impact on your overall retirement goals.
Join us on September 28th at 6:00 P.M. (EST), to discuss the impacts of social security on your financial plan, claiming tactics, strategies and timing!
