Like so many in our community, our hearts are heavy as we see the devastation left behind by the recent fires. We are praying for the families who have lost homes, the firefighters and first responders who have worked tirelessly, and the neighbors who are beginning the difficult process of rebuilding.

If you or someone you know has been affected, here are a few practical steps that may help in the days ahead:

If your home was damaged or destroyed:
• Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to begin the claims process.
• Take photos of any damage before cleanup begins, if it's safe to do so.
• Save receipts for hotel stays, meals, clothing, pet boarding, and other emergency expenses. Many homeowners policies provide reimbursement for these costs.
• If you'll need temporary housing, begin looking for a rental or extended stay accommodations as soon as you're able. Housing availability can become limited after a disaster.
• Start documenting damaged or lost belongings, even if it's just a simple list to begin with.
• Notify your mortgage lender if your home sustained significant damage.

If you'd like to help:
• Consider donating to trusted local relief organizations such as the American Red Cross, Innovia Foundation Wildfire Response Fund, Catholic Charities Eastern Washington, SNAP, or the City of Spokane's wildfire relief efforts.
• Support local businesses that have been impacted.
• Offer meals, temporary housing, childcare, transportation, or other practical help if you're able.
• Check in on neighbors, especially seniors and families who may need extra support.

Spokane has always been a community that shows up for one another. While the road to recovery won't be easy, we know our community is stronger when we come together.

If you or someone you know needs help finding resources, please don't hesitate to reach out. While we may not have all the answers, we're happy to help connect you with organizations and information that may be helpful.

Our thoughts and prayers remain with everyone affected.

Summer has a way of filling both our calendars... and our credit cards. Vacations, kids' activities, home projects, dinners with friends, and making memories all add up.

The goal isn't to avoid spending on the things you love.

The goal is to plan so you can enjoy those moments with confidence.

College move in season is here!

As parents across the country pack up cars and head to college campuses, there's one thing we've learned...

You will 100% make at least one Target run.

But here's a quick move in checklist to hopefully keep those Target trips to a minimum:

Basic tool kit (screwdriver, hammer, measuring tape, scissors)
Command hooks and removable strips
Power strips and extension cords (check dorm rules)
Mattress topper and mattress protector
Extra-long twin sheets
Laundry basket, detergent, and quarters (if needed)
First aid kit and basic medications
Cleaning supplies and paper towels
Fan (many dorms don't have A/C)
Reusable water bottle and snacks
Important documents (student ID, insurance card, medication list)
Storage bins and under bed organizers
Tide Sticks (trust us on this one!)
Plenty of patience... and tissues.

And a few things that don't fit in a box:

Give them room to make the space their own.
Resist the urge to unpack every drawer.
Take lots of photos.
Hug them one more time.
Trust that you've been preparing them for this moment for years.

College move in isn't just about settling into a dorm, it's about watching your child step into the next chapter of their life.

To all the parents making the trip this summer, congratulations! It's a day filled with excitement, pride, and maybe a few tears.

Happy 250th Birthday, America!

This year we're celebrating 250 years of independence, and it's amazing to think about everything our country has experienced along the way.

Over the past two and a half centuries, America has faced wars, recessions, political change, economic uncertainty, and incredible technological breakthroughs. Through it all, we've continued to innovate, adapt, and move forward.

That resilience is one of the reasons we are so optimistic about the future.

A few milestones that helped shape our financial history:

- In 1792, the U.S. dollar became our nation's official currency.

- That same year, the Buttonwood Agreement laid the foundation for what would become the U.S. stock market.

- The Industrial Revolution transformed the American economy and created opportunities that previous generations couldn't have imagined.

- More recently, the internet, smartphones, and now artificial intelligence have changed the way we live, work, and invest.

Every generation has experienced events that changed the world around them. Yet throughout our history, one thing has remained remarkably consistent: people who stayed focused on the long term were often rewarded for their patience.

That's a good reminder as investors, and as Americans.

We can't control every headline, but we can control how we prepare, how we plan, and how we respond.

Wishing you and your family a safe, happy, and memorable Fourth of July as we celebrate 250 years of resilience, opportunity, and freedom.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember Maj. David “Dave” Gray and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Dave was a highly respected member of the Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) community who was killed in Afghanistan in 2012 while serving alongside fellow Americans. He was known as a leader, mentor, and someone deeply committed to those around him.

For Rich, this remembrance is deeply personal. Dave was Rich’s selection cadre and later became a mentor, whose leadership and influence left a lasting impact.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. It is a time to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service, and to remember the families, friends, and fellow service members who carry their memory forward.

Today, we remember Dave Gray and all of our fallen heroes with gratitude and respect.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Graduation season always sneaks up so fast 🎓

If you’re looking for gift ideas for the grad in your life, we've put together a few practical ideas at different price points, from under $50 to bigger “splurge” gifts that can really help during this next chapter.

Some of the best gifts aren’t necessarily the flashiest ones:
✔️ Things they’ll use every day
✔️ Items that make life a little easier
✔️ Support during a season full of transition

Sometimes a handwritten note (stuffed with cash 😉) with encouragement and advice may end up meaning the most years from now.

What’s the best graduation gift you’ve ever received or given? We would love to hear more ideas in the comments 👇

The best financial lessons don’t come from a classroom…

They happen in everyday moments.

As we come to the end of Financial Literacy Month, it’s a great reminder: The way kids learn about money today shapes how they’ll handle it tomorrow.

👉 Swipe for ideas you can use this week.

If you’ve been thinking about this, we’re always happy to share tools and resources to help guide those conversations.

04/22/2026

It’s Financial Literacy Month, and so many of us have the same questions about our money.

👉 Can I retire when I want?
👉 Should I pay off debt or invest?
👉 How much cash should I keep?
👉 Am I even making the right decisions?

If you’ve asked yourself any of these, you’re in good company.

There’s no one size fits all answer, but having a plan makes all the difference.

That’s what we help with every day, bringing clarity and confidence to your financial decisions.
