Investing: Control the Controllable

Submitted by AtwoB (Point B Planning, LLC) on February 4th, 2016

After a difficult beginning to 2016, investors are re-awakening to the reality that risk still exists in the investment markets. Of course, it’s during these difficult periods where we are bombarded by panicky headlines, fear-mongering, market predictions, and all manner of talking heads giving us advice on what we should be doing next.

Too Well Fed

Submitted by AtwoB (Point B Planning, LLC) on November 17th, 2015

So the Fed decided not to raise interest rates from zero. The Fed’s chairwoman, Janet Yellen, cited inflation that was too low (the Fed’s target is 2%) as a primary factor in the decision along with the potential impact of recent financial market volatility on the economy.

“Dadbod” and the Art of Balance

Submitted by AtwoB (Point B Planning, LLC) on September 29th, 2015

Of all the pop culture trends that seem to come as fast as they go, the one I really hope sticks around for a little while longer is the “Dadbod”. For those of you who are unfamiliar, and can’t just guess what the term means by looking at it, a “Dadbod” has been best described as a “a nice balance between and beer gut and working out” and says “I go to the gym occasionally but also enjoy drinking a few beers and eating what I want on the weekend”. Supposedly the “Dadbod”, of which I claim to be a long-time curator of (and well before I was ever a dad), is now in style as evidenced by the viral takeoff of the #dadbod on social media. Yes, yes, I know…the concept of “Dadbod” has no doubt been welcomed and embraced by men all over - primarily as a great justification for some of our less disciplined tendencies. But it does highlight a concept that’s incredibly important that I believe we can apply to our financial lives for the better…the notion of “balance”. Balance is typically a key driver to a successful financial planning process, a properly constructed investment portfolio, and a successful retirement income distribution strategy.

Grin and "Bear" It

Submitted by AtwoB (Point B Planning, LLC) on September 22nd, 2015

So there’s been a bear roaming around our neighborhood lately. It’s been messing around with the neighbors’ bird feeders and instigating havoc at Peter Pratt’s, a favorite local restaurant, by demolishing its locally grown honey setup. Although nobody saw it for weeks, one of the restaurant’s workers finally spotted the bear hugging a tree as it was stalking the delicious honey. How stereotypical. Very prudently, the neighborhood association sent out some emails with informative links about what to do if you should ever encounter a bear. The first two lines of the bear encounter guidelines read as follows:

•If a bear approaches you, remain calm.

•ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RUN (Running may elicit a chase response in the bear).

The Kids are Alright, Alright, Alright

“Alright, Alright, Alright” – Matthew McConaughey as Wooderson in Dazed and Confused, 1993

The words “Alright, alright, alright” were Matthew McConaughey’s first words spoken as an actor in the 1993 classic Dazed and Confused. His character, David Wooderson, was that guy who was no longer in high school but still hanging out with the high school crew. While Wooderson was undoubtedly a really cool character, as a parent with two young sons to raise, I can only hope that there aren’t any future “Woodersons” in my house. Much as Wooderson never really moved on from high school, Mr. McConau
