What you know = How much you grow

April is financial literacy month, and it’s a great coincidence that this month is also the time when many people are planting seeds in the ground, hoping for a lush summer garden and dreaming of a huge fall harvest. Growing something large and beautiful from a small seed is a fantastic analogy for what you are planning for your future when you invest in yourself and share your knowledge with loved ones.

Growing your financial knowledge base can help you make better, more informed decisions. The more you know, the more you can grow – and I can assist with that in many ways. This week, markets again reached new heights, so now is a great time to plant some new seeds and watch what springs up. Let’s chat about your ideas.

Here are some insightful financial articles from the news this week, to pique your interest even more. Feel free to share with your network, and as always, reach out if there’s something you’d like to discuss.
