Happy Memorial Day!

May 25, 2015

We are taking a break from blogging today at Financial Finesse to spend time with family and friends. Next Monday, I will pick up with Week 2 in our Financial Check Up Challenge series. In the meantime, you can enter the challenge to win access to an unbiased financial coaching session with yours truly. Here is a link to last week’s blog that began the series. 

Most Americans will be enjoying the long Memorial Day weekend by shopping, cooking out with family and friends, or traveling on vacation to celebrate the unofficial beginning of summer. In the words of Tom and Donna from the TV show Parks and Recreation, “treat yo self.” Amidst all of the revelry and good times, let us not forget that Memorial Day was created as a day to remember all of those Americans who have died while serving our nation.

The financial planning process helps people improve their sense of financial wellness and often focuses on the pursuit of financial freedom (however we choose to define that term).  In reality, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy that freedom without the extraordinary sacrifice of those who fought hard and gave everything so we may get some rest and relaxation over the Memorial Day weekend. So on behalf of all of my friends and colleagues at Financial Finesse, have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day!
