Do you remember those “jokes” that would end with the woman having 2 black eyes and making a sandwich.

Yeah…me too.

And they weren’t funny back then either.

Callaway, you f*cked up Good Good here.

This commercial wasn’t funny at all.

The entire premise was built around a man intimidating a woman over his golf club.

And then, the vocalization

“Don’t touch my driver.”

That wasn’t playful.

That wasn’t funny.

It was threatening.

Maybe that was the point.

If so, great job.

You just made violence and threatening behavior towards women the punchline.

Do you know how many women hear that exact tone from someone who is supposed to love them?

Do you know how many women have learned to recognize that tone because they know exactly what comes next?

It isn’t entertainment.

It isn’t a joke.

And it sure as hell isn’t cute.

It is disgusting.

We should’ve moved past this s**t a long time ago.

Does anyone actually do Duolingo anymore?

Or are we all just collectively trying to keep our streak alive because that’s all we have going for us?

Asking for a friend.

It’s me, I’m the friend 😂

Why are you only saving for retirement?

I don’t know if you are aware, but there is a LOT of life between now and then.

What about 5 years from now?

Heck, what about the vacation you want to take next year?

The new car?

The kitchen renovation?

Helping the kids buy their first house?

Whatever it is you actually want to do in life…

We should be strategically saving for those too.

Because I don’t want you to spend the next 30 years putting every extra dollar toward retirement only to realize you didn’t plan for everything you want to do along the way.

Yes, of course retirement matters.

But, so does the life that happens before you get there.

We can do both.

My nonprofit friends, who the hell is actually managing your investment account?

No, seriously.

Your CFO has enough on their plate.

Your executive director most definitely has enough on theirs.

So, why are we asking them to
• Monitor the investment portfolio
• Research investments
• Decide when to buy and sell
• Watch market conditions
• Rebalance the portfolio
• Make sure the investments align with your Investment Policy Statement
• And, report all of this back to the board

…oh, they aren’t doing that?

Um, then your investment account is just…what?

Free ballin’?

“No, Alex. The finance committee looks at it.”

Right, and after looking at it, what happens?

Here’s the thing.

Your CFO and finance committee don’t need to be investment experts.

Your investment advisor doesn’t need to run your nonprofit’s finances.

Everyone can stay in their lane and do what they do best.

Staff runs the org.
Board provides oversight.
Investment advisor manages the portfolio.

Everyone communicates to support the organization’s goals.

You don’t have to do everything yourself just because you think you can.

So, I am going to need us to collectively agree that September 25th is now Dolly Day.

9-2-5

(9/25)

I mean, it’s perfect, right?

RIGHT?!

I don’t make the rules.

I just follow them.

Who is with me? 👇

Happy Sunday Funday! 🐾

Sundays are for pet posts around here because Pets have life figured out way better than we do.

The boys are all hanging together. (Tazz, Nero, and Max --- kinda left to right?)

Sometimes they like alone time.

Sometimes they like to be literally on top of each other.

See picture as an example.

And, honestly, both are just fine…As long as everyone is in agreement about personal space at that moment.

Take some time to figure out what mood you are in today.

Need some alone time?

Take it.

Want some good company?

Make it happen.

Until next Sunday, give your pets an extra treat from me. 🐾

What are you doing?!

Oh, I am moving my retirement account to cash.

Um…why?

Because I think the market is going to go down.

I see…and what if it doesn’t.

Well, then I will just put my money back in the market.

My friend, you have 15 years until retirement

FIFTEEN

And you are going to take your money out of the market because you have a gut feeling?

Let me stop you right there.

We don’t invest based on what we think the market is going to do next Tuesday.

We invest for when we want to use the money, how much we need, and how much risk we can actually handle along the way.

Will the market go down?

Absolutely.

It will also go back up.

And over 15 years, there is a heck of a lot of time for ups and downs.

But, here is the bigger problem.

Not only are you trying to time when to exit.

But, you are also trying to time when to come back in…

Let me assure you, the news headlines will have you thinking you should be in cash forever because the sky is perpetually falling.

My friend, that is why we have a plan.

So, the next time your gut starts talking to you about investments, call you BFF instead.

It’s me, I’m your BFF.

Recently, I heard a group of pugs is called a grumble…

That is certainly a choice.

I think a group of bulldogs should be called a wheeze.

Don’t come for me, I love all dogs.

Your turn. Give me a group of animals and what they should be called.

Look, I know I have a reading disability and all…

but does anyone else always read this as

“Block

Not

I mean, really. I can’t be the only one.

Sure, you can keep doing things the way you have always done them.

But, if there was a better way, wouldn’t you want to know about it?

I work with a lot of very smart people, who started saving and investing on their own.

And, yeah, they were doing a pretty good job.

But, at a certain point, They reached a point where they realized they didn’t know what they didn’t know.

Insert me.

On each of these occasions, we were able to make changes to be more tax efficient, better coordination of their investments and their goals, and even plan for an earlier retirement than they originally thought.

They weren’t doing anything wrong, they just reached the edge of what they knew.

And smart people know their own limitations.

You don’t have to be an expert in everything.

I am here when you want an extra set of eyes.
