Summer went out on a sweet note. 🍦 Thank you to everyone who joined us at Peach Tree Farm in Salem, NH for an afternoon of ice cream and connection with our New Hampshire team.

Here's to a great fall ahead!

The first college offer isn't always the final one.

In Episode 2 of Nine Under Nine, college advisor Eric Simonelli breaks down the financial aid appeal — the one that found real money for Jim Bode family.

There's a separate appeals website you'd never find in the normal process. Schools ask you to upload every other offer you've received. And when the money comes back, there's often just a 24-hour window to lock in the deposit.

The twist: the school required the appeal to come from the student, not the parents.

So it went through the student's email, and it worked.

Most families never even ask. Eric explains exactly how. Full episode on YouTube

Episode 2 of Nine Under Nine premieres today at 5:00.

It's back-to-school season, and Co-Managing Partner Jim Bode sat down with Eric Simonelli of Academic Admissions Advisors, his own family's college advisor, for nine holes and an honest conversation about paying for college. When to start planning, how parents get in their own kid's way, and how to appeal for more financial aid after the first offer comes back too low.

Real golf, real conversation, and one very ambitious number to chase.

Premieres today at 5:00 on YouTube. Come watch!

Wednesday Wisdom:

A good reminder for investing, and most things in life. The outcome was never the part we could control. Showing up, staying disciplined, and doing the work consistently, that's the part that's actually in our hands.

Nothing says summer in New England like sitting in traffic on your way to the beach, the lake, or wherever it is you're trying to escape to this weekend.

Let's reflect on what it can teach you about your finances!

What the World Cup Taught Our CIO About Investing

This summer, our CIO found himself watching soccer differently than he expected. Not the ball, not the goals, but the players without possession. The runs, the positioning, the discipline to hold a spot even when the spotlight never lands on you.

Turns out that's investing too. The highlight reel moments get all the attention, but reality keeps score on everything else: the quiet decisions, the discipline, the things nobody notices.

Being right about what's happening in the market isn't the same as knowing what to do about it. That's why our approach doesn't change with the headlines. Goal focused. Plan driven. Long-term.

Chip is one of our summer interns, and off the clock you'll find him on the rugby pitch, putting in the same toughness and teamwork on the field that he brings to the office. He's also an avid traveler, always looking for the next place to explore, and has a genuine passion for genealogy.

We've loved having Chip work with us this summer and know he has a bright future ahead!
