Your Green: Financial Words of Wisdom for Graduates!

When was the last time?

When was the last time you pulled up in front of your garage, got out of your car, manually opened the garage-door, got back in your car, drove your car in the garage, and then manually closed it again? When was the last time you got out of your chair, walked up to your TV, and adjusted the channel?

Estate Planning | Should a Trust be Part of Your Planning

When it comes to estate planning, the most familiar document is the last will and testament. Most people have a basic understanding that a will allows you to appoint a personal representative (an executor) upon your death and directs that person to distribute your assets as you specify. Put another way, a will says who gets your stuff when you die—but until you die, it does nothing.
