It may not sound enticing, but creating a will puts power in your hands.
 

 

According to the global analytics firm Gallup, only about 44% of Americans have created a will. This finding may not surprise you.

So How Are You Doing?

Submitted by Alloy Silverstein Financial Services, Inc. on December 17th, 2018

No, this isn’t Joey Tribbiani (remember Friends?). 

[Note: We recently sent out a blast email to all of our clients who use email regarding the recent market volatility.  Please read it and let us know if you have any questions or would like to get together to discuss any changes to your circumstances.]

Trump would need to address.  He had promised that GDP could reach 3% and a whole lot of other things.  So, how is he doing so far?  Here is a report card of sorts on what has, or has not, been accomplished economically.
