It feels REALLY good to say that there will be regular season MLB games this week. **Assuming something crazy doesn’t happen by Friday** Let’s all cross our fingers everything goes according to plan!
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
‘The News is Bad’ – Tom Mullooly – Jersey Shore Financial Advisor
- There is constantly bad news headlines swirling around. Today it feels like it’s more so than usual, but Tom writes about a similar situation from 50 years ago with the point being that the news is always bad. That doesn’t mean it’s a reason to jump out of the market.
‘The Big Social Security Decision’ – Mullooly Asset Podcast
- The decision of when to take Social Security is always a complex one. Add in a pandemic and a recession, and people are more confused than ever. In this podcast, I talked with Brendan about the thought processes of taking Social Security in a pandemic, among a few other topics as well.
‘How Rich People Go Broke’ – Ben Carlson – A Wealth of Common Sense
- Even rich people go through financial rough patches. Ben outlines an example from actor Robert De Niro, and how everyone can benefit from having a good back up plan and the right amount of liquidity on hand to make it through these rough patches.
‘My Four Goals’ – Jonathan Clements – Humble Dollar
- Since he is on the verge of tapping his portfolios for income, Jonathan has been tweaking his allocation to stocks and bonds recently. He shares four goals for his portfolio and the income it needs to throw off.
ENJOY!
