Deborah Williams, CFP® The future is full of unknowns, wouldn’t you agree? Just think back to the beginning of 2017, had you ever even heard of cryptocurrency? Probably not, and now almost everyone has heard of a Bitcoin. Every day, the Federal Reserve, Congress, and the President are making decisions that can impact our overall economy, the markets, and our financial situations. Just a few months ago, we didn’t know what the new tax law was going to look like, now we do. While we can’t always see what’s on the horizon (which can be either invigorating or scary depending on your outlook) we can all become better prepared to adapt regardless. Here is a look at some of the financial unknowns we face in 2018, some may impact you directly, some may not, and what we can do to prepare better.

But what about assessing our financial well-being? Here we take a look at the financial health of Americans and provide some insight into how you can determine your financial baseline for comparison.
David Hemler, CFP® Time does indeed fly, and as we get older in years, we might even say it speeds up. As I write this, it’s mid-October and the fall season has begun to show itself here in Carroll County and our surrounding communities. Things are very different this October than last, but regardless fall can be counted on to result in the same outcomes. The leaves will change color and fall from the trees, which is critical to their survival over the long winter months to come. As time marches on we are reminded of two old sayings, “The one thing we can always count on is change,” and “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Both are true.
