Halloween is right around the corner, so it seemed fitting that we talk about pumpkins and planning. I know, it seems a little silly but quite seriously there are some significant crossover points between pumpkins and the fall season. And just like a pumpkin, finances need cultivation to see growth. It takes time and attention to reach your goals but in the end, it’s worth it.

We’ve talked on several other shows about the importance of estate planning and how some people engage in charitable planning or strategies. We invited a special guest to the North Main Financial Show, and you will quickly see that what he does dovetails nicely into the idea of being engaged in the community relative to charitable giving and estate planning.

Technology and investing go hand in hand today. Devices like the Apple iPhone are a part of our everyday lives even though it’s just over 10 years old. (I feel like we’ve had iPhones around forever.) So, how does the intersection of technology and investing affect us now and in the future? Here are a few thoughts.

Real estate can certainly be a key factor in your financial future. Do you own, do you want to own, do you want to invest in real estate, the questions go on. At North Main Financial, we help guide our clients with financial planning that includes things like real estate, so we thought it was important to touch on this topic on an episode of the North Main Financial Show.

Money, it brings joy and it can bring pain and it’s typically a topic that is uncomfortable to discuss with those close to you, let alone a stranger. In fact, we would lob finances in with topics like spirituality and health as some of the most sensitive decisions we make.
