Greetings Marianna!

I can hardly believe it’s already November, with record temperatures making it feel like late summer! Hope you’re getting outside and soaking up this unexpected warmth!


The 2024 U.S. election season was one for the books—highly anticipated, with a close race and big voter turnout across the country. It’s clear Americans are passionate and motivated about the issues that shape their future, which is great to see. Now that most of the results are in, we’ll start to see the country move forward, and everyone will be watching closely to gauge what these outcomes might mean for the economy and the investments. Please read The 2024 Election Results and Their Impact on Your Investments below. As always, I’m here to answer any questions and discuss how these changes might affect your financial plans.


This month, we honor Veterans Day and extend heartfelt gratitude to those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Their courage and sacrifices remind us of the freedoms we cherish and the debt we owe to them and their families.


As we near the end of the year, I want to remind you of a few key deadlines. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2025–2026 academic year is due by December 1, 2024. It’s also an ideal time to complete your Annual Financial Checkup—we’ve included a helpful checklist below to guide you.


And lastly, as Thanksgiving approaches, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the trust you place in me and my team. Wishing you and your loved ones a warm and joyful holiday filled with connection and gratitude.


Happy Thanksgiving!

 

With Gratitude,


~ Marianna
