While some people in the retirement-planning stages worry about outliving their money, others have a different concern: that their money is outgrowing their investment adviser. It’s not unusual for the size of the client’s investment to increase well beyond their adviser’s level of experience and knowledge. Higher net-worth individuals often demand more creative, sophisticated planning for their needs than their original adviser is able to provide. Many affluent clients have graduated from their adviser’s capabil...

Sometimes a whole crate of birthday candles might not be enough. Americans are living longer than ever, with the average life expectancy now rising to about 79 years. Some have referred to this trend as the “longevity revolution,” but it’s also creating a revolution in the way people think about retirement. What worked for retirees a generation ago isn’t going to work today. For most people, pensions are no more. Social Security has an uncertain future. And individual savings aren’t where they need to be for far too many...

We have to talk about the gun problem in America. Yes, we need to talk more about mental health and yes we have a lot of violent media. But every single country in the world has people fighting mental health issues. And Hollywood exports violent movies and video games to all corners of the globe. Yet gun violence is our uniquely American problem. It is the guns that cause it. We must face it. Since 1996, the NRA-backed Dickey Amendment has prevented the CDC from funding any sort of studies into gun violence. This research... Full story
There will never be enough space to iterate the many kindnesses shown to us by the community following the Lilac fire. One instance is especially meaningful. On December 7, we were away from Bonsall and had taken nothing with us. I didn’t even have my handbag - only my driver’s license! Our home on Wrightwood Road was totally destroyed, along with contents acquired over 50 years of marriage. My wedding ring was gone, and our golden anniversary was coming December 29. Out of nowhere the LDS Stake (I believe it was #7) arr... Full story
