The FED's Pause
Last week the Federal Reserve met and decided that despite some areas of the economy still showing signs of inflationary pressures, the decision was made to hold interest rates as is. They signaled that one more rate hike in 2023 could be warranted. Read below to see how this move may impact your finances. As always, if you have any questions, we are here.

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!
