The Economic Power of Women and You

At KBK Wealth Connection, we celebrate Financial Literacy Month every April. This year it struck me that, while I really liked the concept, I did not know the history of the month and how it came to be designated as a month to teach and/or learn more about money and finance. So I asked my trusty assistant to dig up some facts, and here is what she found: 2000: The Jump$tart…See More

Give Your Clients Red Carpet Service

Sunday is the 85th Oscar Academy Awards, and I am excited to see if Argo wins best picture. Ben being a Beantown guy, I just have to root for him. It is always a guilty pleasure to pour a glass of wine and watch celebrities walk down the red carpet on Oscar night.   Everyone likes to be treated like a celebrity so why not treat your clients to the red carpet treatment every time they interact with you and your firm? As a client-centric advisor, it makes perfect sense and is sure to have a big…See More

Christmas Movies and Their Money Messages

While decorating the Christmas tree this year, we watched some of the old classic holiday movies. These movies entertain us and warm our hearts, but they also communicate money lessons to be learned in this often too materialistic season. Here are three classic movies and the money message embedded in each:   A Christmas Carol (1938)  There are many remakes of this classic movie, but the original 1938 black and white version remains my favorite. I enjoy watching a tight-fisted Scrooge transform…See More

Go Buffs! How a College Tour Spurred a Good Money Talk

Recently, I had the opportunity to take my 17-year-old nephew to see the University of Colorado Boulder. Not only was it a great chance to spend some quality time with him, it really helped me understand how financial literacy and planning is so integral to the admissions process. One of my favorite moments was when the admissions counselor put up a slide with the cost of out-of-state tuition. My nephew's eyes got as big as saucers. Before…See More

There's No Such Thing Called "Free" Money

Last week my husband and I hired a painter to put a fresh coat of paint on our hundred-year-old home. True to form, my husband negotiated a good deal and got the contractor down $600. When he told me he saved this amount of money, he immediately started to brainstorm about how we could spend this “free money.” In my mind, our expenses went down $600. In his mind, we won the lottery and had $600 to spend. We laughed as we talked about our different perspectives and how mental accounting and…See More
