Choosing a college with Finances in Mind
It’s the time of year when high school seniors across the country are making their final decisions about where they will attend college. Selecting the right college has always been a complex process, but in challenging economic times, the decision can be even more complicated for students and families.

Plan, Protect and Proceed
Our granddaughter, Elizabeth, is 10 years old. Since she was a baby, my wife, Renee, told herself and Elizabeth that when Elizabeth was 10 Grandma Renee would take her to Paris. Begrudgingly, I was allowed to tag along and the three of us went to Paris for a week in March, 2013. We tried our best to see Paris through the eyes of a 10-year-old. We think we succeeded.
We were able to do this because of a lot of luck, hard work and planning. I am not sure of the percentages but it …

Likewise, with every life there is a beginning, a middle and a conclusion. We do not get to pick the beginning of our life, but we often have some control over the course of it and over the …

Assessing your risk tolerance
Before you can identify which investments are well suited to your financial goals, you need to determine your risk tolerance. This is your level of comfort with market volatility and/or the degree to which you are willing to risk the loss of your principal for a potentially greater return.
