Monthly Blogs

  • Did You Schedule a Mid-year Money Checkup?: Is your money doing what it should so far this year? The possibly unwelcome news is that the year is half over and you may be behind on your annual financial goals. But the great news is that there are still several months to review where you are and make course corrections to progress on achieving your goals.
  • Don’t Be Quished—Be Careful of QR Code Scams: Quishing is another version of phishing. Phishing is when scammers use fake emails, social media posts, or text messages to lure their intended victims to click on a bad link to go to a bogus website, download a malicious file attachment to their computer or mobile phone, or call a number to connect to a crook. If you click on a phishing link or file, input information into a fake website, or talk to someone you shouldn’t, you may get defrauded and give up control of your device, personal information, identity, financial and social media accounts and money to cybercriminals. Read our blog to learn how to protect yourself.
