1. Tithing, Loving Yourself, and Financial Planning

    Financial Planning:  Tithing At church we recently started a sermon series on love.  If you’ve ever been to a wedding, then you know the go-to book in the Bible for discussing love is 1 Corinthians 13.  As I listened, I found it interesting how love works in our financial situation as well. Sure, it’s easy…

  2. Recession, Recession, Recession

    How can we survive a recession? Did you know there is a chance of a recession looming on the horizon?  If not, do you live under a rock?  Depending on which channel you watch, the recession could be short or it could be the end of the world.  This is why when we invest, we…

  3. Three Ways to Fight Inflation from Home

    Inflation is nothing new.  We have all heard our elders say things like, “In my day I could buy a loaf of bread for a nickel.”  Nickels and other monetary units are still the same as they were then, but the purchasing power has declined. In essence, this is what inflation means.  When we have…

  4. The Three Questions We All Ask Ourselves

    Financial advisors can talk about money all day, but we really want to know about you; the client.  It’s hard to help you reach your clearly defined, reasonable goals if we don’t take the time to get to know you.  While financial planning is a fairly new industry, the concept is as old as mankind….

  5. Your Money & Modern Monetary Theory

    What is Modern Monetary Theory? Honestly, I didn’t know!  I kept hearing it in the news as it has become a buzzword, similar to transitory inflation.  Who says the word transitory in daily life?  Apparently, it means temporary.  Maybe the population wouldn’t freak out if the media just said the experts believe this spike in…

  6. Why I Love Being a Financial Advisor in Goldsboro

    It can be hard finding a financial advisor in Goldsboro and the surrounding towns in Wayne County, but I love our community.  Advisors make most of their income from managing a client’s investments, so if there aren’t assets to manage, it can be difficult to make a profit.  It becomes a numbers game, which leads…

  7. What Jesus Teaches Us About Money

    What does Jesus teach us about money?  Many people have attempted to tackle this subject, perhaps since the beginning of Christianity.  We celebrate the Christmas season as the time when Jesus made His physical debut in our world, so I thought this would be an opportune time for me to make my first attempt to…

  8. The First Financial Mistake We Make

    Before talking about real estate as an investment I think an important question is to ask what we do regarding our own home.  Do we rent or own?  The decision needs to be based on your situation, not an imaginary timeline and certainly not only on convenience. If you are starting your career, before rushing…

  9. The Coffee Can

    Folgers coffee ran a campaign that really hit home for me and there was very little coffee involved in the commercial.  The family wrote something on a piece of tape, which they stuck to the coffee can.  The word on the tape was a product they desired, such as a new baseball glove, and the…

  10. Once in a Lifetime…

    Did you watch the SpaceX launch on May 30, 2020?  I did!  I know the world is hurting right now, but let’s take a moment to appreciate the magnitude of the launch.  According to pre-launch interviews, SpaceX had been working toward this moment for about 20 years and it’s really just the beginning.  Elon Musk,…
