Greetings!

I hope you’ve been soaking up some wonderful summer days and making great memories!

 

Late last month, we hosted our Demystifying Dementia webinar—a conversation close to my heart. Dementia impacts not only health, but also families’ emotional and financial well-being.


Our guest experts shared practical ways to recognize early signs, find trustworthy resources, and plan ahead so families can focus on care rather than crisis. The heartfelt feedback we received reminded me why these conversations matter so much. If you'd like to see the presentation slides or share your feedback on the webinar, please click here.

 

As a follow-up to our webinar, we’ve included a helpful article on aging at home—covering what to prepare for, the potential costs, and available resources. I hope you find it both informative and practical.

 

And as summer winds down, I’m reminded that change is a constant—whether it’s navigating a new diagnosis, adapting to evolving markets, or preparing for legislative shifts. On the topic of change, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBBA) was recently passed, bringing with it sweeping updates to tax, healthcare, and other key areas. You’ll find an article below outlining the key provisions, and we’ll be reviewing the relevant changes with each client individually to assess their impact and determine if any updates to your plan are needed. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any immediate questions.

 

And, as always, we’ve included Market Commentary from our Chief Investment Officer, Brad McMillan, sharing his insights on last month’s market performance and key economic data.

 

Lastly, we want to wish the best of luck to all the kids heading back to school, the young adults embarking on their college journeys, and the parents adjusting to a newly quiet (or at least quieter) home. These moments—big and small—are milestones to celebrate and opportunities to plan for.


With Gratitude,

Marianna

Our Purpose is Simple



To help you curate a wealthy life, and achieve the financial balance and independence for which you strive.

One Big Beautiful Bill

The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA) was signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025. As its name implies, the nearly 900-page legislation introduces sweeping changes across a wide range of policy areas, including tax, healthcare, energy, and more. Many provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) were made permanent, while new rules—both temporary and permanent—were also introduced. 

How Much Should You Spend on Aging in Place? 

As you think about your future and the possibility of aging in place, it’s important to understand the financial implications. Although staying in your own home offers comfort and independence, it can also come with unexpected costs—from home modifications to in-home care and maintenance. 

 

We’re here to help you navigate these important decisions and ensure that your financial plan supports your goals. If you have any questions or would like personalized guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our office.

Insights From Our Chief Market Strategist:

Market Thoughts August 2025

 

The market rally continued in July, as strong corporate earnings growth and optimism on trade lifted stocks. The S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq were all up low single digits for the month. The story was mixed internationally, with developed international stocks down while emerging markets rallied for the third straight month. Turning to the economy, the news was broadly positive. The economy grew at an annualized rate of 3 percent in the second quarter, beating expectations and signaling a healthy economic backdrop.


Will surprises on policy issues serve as a headwind in the months ahead?
