Provided by Mary Grace Musuneggi, CLU, ChFC, CFS, RFC

Somewhere between the paper squirrel, who saves everything “just in case,” and the purger, who tosses everything in the trash, is the organized person for whom keeping records is no big deal. Becoming that organized person is not simple, but taking the steps necessary to get your financial records under control is a task with many rewards – first and foremost, a good night’s sleep.

Will Political Changes Affect the Economy?

Provided by Mary Grace Musuneggi

With all of the storm and stress of the year 2020, you’d be forgiven if you momentarily forgot that we’re due for another national election in November. Many states will be selecting governors, representatives, and senators, while the country itself will be voting in the presidential election.

Even though these elections happen every four years, they often breed uncertainty or anxiety about the financial markets and other investment matters. Some of our personal political beliefs may be informed by our economic worldview. For that reason, it’s natural that presidential elections are seen as potential turning points for the economy.

It’s important to keep in mind that while the White House has enormous influence on economic policy, ambitious policies frequently find challenges in the legislative and judicial branches.

It’s also important to keep in mind that in the wake of COVID-19 there are other factors that can influence the financial markets.1

Also know that we are here to help you create a strategy, one that may run through several presidents and many sessions of Congress. Naturally, you may have questions about how these policies might affect things in the short term, and we look forward to a chance to discuss these with you.
