There’s something powerful about standing in a space you worked hard to build.

Thirty years in business has taught me that success isn’t just about how far you go—it’s about the people you serve, the lives you impact, and the legacy you build along the way.

And I’m still building.

Helping individuals, families, business owners, and women solve financial problems, create strategies for their goals, prepare for retirement, and build stronger financial futures.

Thirty years later, I’m still here. Still serving. Still guiding. And here for you.

Creating a will is crucial, but remember: life changes. When it does, so should your estate strategy. Regularly updating your will keeps it aligned with your current circumstances and wishes. Here are 7 reasons to revisit your will:

1️⃣ Family Changes: Marriage, divorce, births, or losses can impact your strategy.
2️⃣ Relocation: Different places, different laws.
3️⃣ Financial Shifts: Reflect on your current assets.
4️⃣ Executor/Trustee: Ensure they’re still the right choice.
5️⃣ Law Changes: Stay compliant and minimize taxes.
6️⃣ Beneficiary Updates: Reflect evolving relationships.
7️⃣ Time: Review every 3-5 years.

The price of a first-class Forever stamp rose from 78 cents to 82 cents on July 12.

The increase is part of a series of price hikes from the U.S. Postal Service, which has raised the cost of a first-class stamp several times in recent years.

USPS has cited financial losses, rising operating expenses, and declining mail volume as reasons for the latest increase.

Other postage costs also increased. Domestic postcards rose to 65 cents, while international postcards and letters rose to $1.75.

One important reminder: Forever stamps purchased before the increase still work after the price change. They continue to cover the current cost of one ounce of First-Class Mail postage.

For households and small businesses, postage may seem like a small expense — but recurring cost increases can add up over time, especially for anyone who still relies on mailed bills, invoices, cards, or client communications.

The cost of a first-class Forever stamp has climbed 41% since 2021, and postal officials have signaled they want prices to rise even more.

For so long, women were taught not to talk about money. Not the fear. Not the stress. Not the shame.

But something powerful happens when we start talking honestly with each other — not just “How do I invest?” but the questions we keep quiet:

• How do I stop dreading my statements?
• How do I teach my kids what no one taught me?
• How do I build wealth without feeling guilty?

One honest conversation with another woman can undo years of silence.

So this week, pick one woman you trust — a friend, a sister, your daughter — and have one real money conversation. Not a performance of having it figured out. Share the mistakes. Ask the question you’ve been afraid to say out loud.

Or start a Money Self-Care Club. Same energy as a book club, but for your finances. A few women, a standing date, and permission to be honest.

That’s how the silence breaks. Not in a boardroom — at a kitchen table.

At Advance Financial Lighthouse, this is the work we love most: turning honest money conversations into real confidence and a plan you can stand on.

Who’s the one woman you’d start with? 👇
