🇺🇸 Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. Their sacrifice reminds us that liberty is never free.

As we spend time with family and loved ones, may we never forget those who courageously served and paid the ultimate price for this nation.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
— John 15:13

As a new graduate, we know that it can seem daunting to start investing, especially when your finances may be tight. This can lead some new grads to push off investing until the “perfect time” in the future.

Here’s why that can be a bad strategy: Time is one of the biggest advantages we have when it comes to investing. Starting early gives your money more chances to grow — even if you’re only investing a little each month. That growth might not look obvious on a day-to-day basis. But as the years pass, the difference can become much clearer.

You don’t need a lot of money to get started with investing. The most important thing is to start early. Even small contributions to your own investment accounts or employer-sponsored accounts like 401(k)s, over time, can give your money more chances to grow. The sooner you get started, the bigger the impact it makes to the value of your investment portfolio.

If you want help figuring out what investing could look like for you or have questions about your current strategy, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help craft an investment strategy that’s right for you.

Large, often random expenses tend to pop up in the working world. Things like car repairs, medical bills, or a security deposit for an apartment can throw your budget off course if you don’t have any money set aside.

Savings can give you a crucial safety net. Even having a small cushion makes those moments, like car breakdowns or surprise medical expenses, easier to handle. Start by building an emergency fund that covers several months' worth of expenses, then branch out and save for other wants or needs. Starting with small, consistent savings is the best way to go. The habit matters more than the amount at first.

If you have questions about what kind of savings account or savings strategy makes sense for your situation, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support your goals.

If you’re a new graduate, it can be hard to keep track of your inflow and outflow of cash as you juggle paychecks and new expenses. That’s where budgeting can come in.

Think of a budget as a way to keep your money working for you. Begin with your take-home pay, which is your pay after tax and any deductions, and make sure your essentials are covered. Then you can see what’s left for everything else.

This can look like putting money into “envelopes” or savings categories or simply tracking the numbers in a spreadsheet. Tracking your spending, even just for a month, can be eye-opening and help you fully understand where your money is going.

If you have questions about your current financial picture or want to discuss investment strategies that can support your goals as a new graduate, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help guide you.

Another incredible couple of days for the Finish Strong team! 🙌

Last week, Jonathan and the Finish Strong team had the privilege of teaching our “Taxes in Retirement 567” classes in the City of Upland — and the response from the community was truly a blessing.

The “567” represents the 567 sections of the U.S. tax code, reminding us just how important wisdom and proper planning are when preparing for retirement.

Even while continuing to serve families in the office, Jonathan remains passionate about educating and empowering the community. We’re grateful for everyone who attended and excited to return soon — with estate planning classes coming in the near future.

If you have student loans or other debt after graduation, you’re not alone. Debt is a reality for many college students after they graduate. Regardless of whether you’re graduating with student loans or credit card debt, making a plan to manage and eventually eliminate your debt can feel overwhelming.

With that in mind, we wanted to share a simple roadmap for starting to address debt post-graduation:

A good way to start managing your debt is to get everything out in the open. List your loans, credit cards, and any other balances so you know what you’re dealing with. While you do this, be sure to pay attention to interest rates and make a plan for how you’ll handle payments each month. When you’re organized, it’s easier to keep debt from getting out of control.

If you have questions about your financial picture or want to talk about investment strategies that can support you as a recent graduate, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to help.

The June 30th Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) deadline is rapidly approaching.

The information students and parents (if applicable) enter into the application determines eligibility for federal grants, student loans, work-study programs, and various state and school-based aid. As such, failing to submit this key form can have serious financial consequences.

Here are some key action items for those with the FAFSA still on their to-do list:

✅ Obtaining federal student aid (FSA) IDs for each contributor (student, parents, etc.).
✅ Getting all tax information from the previous year ready and any required financial information.
✅ Deciding which colleges to share the FAFSA information with. If a specific college has already been chosen, you only need to include that institution.
✅ Carefully reviewing the FAFSA submission summary.
✅ Signing and submitting the application before the deadline.

We hope this checklist helps those preparing for college submit the FAFSA accurately and on time!

Regardless of what milestones you’re approaching, know that we are here to help you make investment decisions that reflect your current goals and future ambitions. Give us a call anytime.
