We have no doubt that the Coronavirus and the market volatility surrounding it have dominated your newsfeed of late. Naturally, this leads to questions and concerns about the market in general, and about how it impacts you specifically.

It is true that there are a lot of variables at play, a great majority of them out of your control. What is under your control is how you respond, or not. First and foremost, do not let fear guide your decisions. Market swings are inevitable. Long-term, goal-oriented investors understand the need to stay the course and, at times, do nothing at all. Dave Ramsey suggests the following, “Do not get off the roller coaster in the middle of the ride.”  Those who heeded this sound advice back in 2008 benefitted from the market rebound in 2009 and beyond.

Of course, our Financial Advisors are always available to address any specific concerns you may have and, if necessary, re-evaluate your financial plan. Clearly, times change. If your life, goals, or risk tolerance has changed, let’s sit down and make sure we are still on the best track for you to achieve financial independence.

Please know that Trilogy Financial remains committed to providing the resources you need to navigate through the uncertainty. Most importantly, rest assured knowing that this too shall pass and that you are not alone.

If you’re planning a wedding, this conversation is a must.

Having debt is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, according to CNBC, 70 percent of college students graduate with student loan debt (the most common type of debt faced by newlyweds).

But if you do have debt (or your partner does), the one thing you need to do—no matter how uncomfortable or awkward it feels—is discuss it with each other.

“It’s important you’re transparent, for better or worse,” says Jeff Motske, president and CEO of Trilogy Financial and author of The Couple’s Guide to Financial Compatibility. “Get it out on the table now, because there’s nothing worse than statements showing up in the mail or online and all of a sudden, you realize you’re both liable for paying off the debt.”

Over the past century, life expectancy in the United States has dramatically increased, a fact that has profoundly impacted the financial security experienced during our golden years.

After World War II, the first generation of retirees were generally expected to live less than a decade after leaving the workforce. Now, the average American is living to be about 78.8 years old, and as a result retirement can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, with some people spending more time retired than they did working.

That sort of longevity is wreaking havoc on the best of financial plans, particularly when combined with the rising costs of some of life’s most significant expenses.
