Financial wellness is like eating healthy – it’s hard work and no fun but you know it’s good for you. Think about it, you always feel better after a healthy meal instead of a highly-processed one. But building a balanced meal plan takes more time and effort to accomplish. The same is true for a healthy financial plan. Not every financial planning task is exciting and groundbreaking, but each step secures your goals and vision for the future.

Two years ago, I was unsatisfied with my options for health insurance. The premiums were rising even as the quality dropped in the form of an ever-increasing deductible. I am guessing that you might feel the same way these days – most of us Americans are in the same boat. I felt like I was being squeezed from both ends and it was starting to p**s me off.

Today was the first time since November 2018 that it closed above it. Does this mean anything? Yes, it means that growth has beaten the pants off value for a very, very long time. Does it mean anything that it closed above the 200-day moving average?

I'll never forget the night of March 11th as long as I live. On that Wednesday evening, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson shared with the world that they had contracted COVID-19. Shortly after the NBA cancelled its games. That was the first time in my life, maybe in anyone's life, that everybody knew at the same time that we were headed towards a recession.
