JUN 2025

Inflation may ebb and flow, but Warren Buffett's two lessons for fighting it are timeless. Become so good at what you do that people will pay a premium for your skills, and own stock in businesses that don’t need constant infusions of cash to keep profits growing. Our first article below expands on this strategy with some thought-provoking ideas you may find useful. Call us if you would like to discuss this strategy further.

Many adults don’t know the average life expectancy in the U.S., which could be a problem when it comes to their retirement planning. A recent study asked respondents how long they think retirees live to see how many are saving enough to be secure when they stop working. And the numbers were off. If our second article generates thoughts or questions regarding your personal planning, give us a call to discuss.

This month's "What's Happening Now" section shares stories on Dick Van Dyke's longevity being a 'curse,' Alaska's most beautiful coastal towns, and one of the Most Popular Retirement Places in the U.S. for Low Taxes and Good Weather.
