July has seen its share of bold beginnings and brilliant minds. Let’s look back at a few moments that left their mark on history:

📜 July 8, 1776 – The Declaration of Independence was read aloud for the first time in Philadelphia, rallying the spirit of a new nation.

📖 July 21, 1899 – Ernest Hemingway was born. Hemingway would go on to gift the world with literary masterpieces like “The Old Man and the Sea” and “A Farewell to Arms.”

🧪 July 31, 1790 – The U.S. Patent Office opened its doors with the very first patent signed by none other than George Washington.

Which of these historic moments inspires you most?

Sixteen billion login credentials. That’s how massive the latest credential leak is — and it’s a serious wake-up call for anyone with an online account.

This wasn’t a single new breach, but rather a compilation of stolen data from multiple breaches, much of it collected through malware. It includes usernames and passwords from major platforms like Google, Apple, Facebook, and more.

Even if your data wasn’t part of this leak, now’s the time to take action:

✅Update your passwords, especially if you reuse them.
✅Use a password manager to keep your logins unique and secure.
✅Turn on multi-factor authentication — app-based or hardware is best.
✅Consider switching to passkeys where available.
✅Monitor your accounts for unusual activity.

We hope this guidance is helpful for you. And as always, reach out with any questions or needs that develop this summer.

When you think of spring cleaning, you probably think of your home 🏠 but the spring is also a great time to do a clean sweep of your household finances!

Here are four ways you can do just that:

🧹 Revisit your budget. Take a look at your monthly budget and adjust it based on your spending so far this year.
🧹 Declutter your subscriptions. Search through your account registers to identify unwanted recurring charges you’ve missed. Apps like Rocket Money or Hiatus can help!
🧹 Shred old financial documents. The IRS recommends keeping at least 3 years of tax returns. Have some older than that? Shred away!
🧹 Review your insurance and plan for changes in coverage. Such changes could include adding a driver, selling a house, or purchasing a new policy.

Hope these tips help! Feel free to share this timely reminder with your network, and reach out if any questions “spring” up 🌸

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💕 Many women across a wide range of ages are affected by it, so we wanted to share three important facts:

🎗️ Half of women who develop breast cancer are 62 years of age or younger when they are diagnosed.
🎗️ Over a woman’s lifetime, there is a 13% chance of developing breast cancer.
🎗️ Regular screenings are critical to early diagnosis and treatment. Starting at age 45, women should get mammograms every year, switching to every two years once they hit 55.

Our thoughts go out to those who are fighting breast cancer and their loved ones. If you or someone you know has questions or is experiencing symptoms, talk to a healthcare provider as soon as possible.
