💳 Have you ever wondered whether you’re getting the most reward points possible from your credit card spending? Many of us have been using the same credit cards for years. We may have originally chosen these cards for airline miles and hotel points, but it's worth looking at how these reward programs can help you save money. Here are a few tips that can help you make the most of your credit card rewards: Use different cards for different types of spending: Choose cards whose rewards align with your biggest expenses, such as groceries, travel, and dining out. Transfer points strategically: Sometimes, transferring your points to airline partners can give you more value than redeeming them directly. If you're getting a new card, research sign-up bonuses: Cards typically offer various bonuses when you sign up. Compare offers to make the most of your decision. Power up your points: Remember to shop through reward portals and sign up for all available benefits and targeted offers. Services like Point.me can help you assess your current cards, offer tips on increasing your points, and find deals on travel using points. Small adjustments can add up! #CreditCardRewards #SmartMoney #FinancialTips

Estate management isn’t about age or wealth; it’s about starting to protect your wishes and loved ones. 3 Steps to Consider: Healthcare Directives: Unexpected events can happen at any age. A healthcare directive takes effect when you are no longer able to make your own healthcare decisions.

It’s designed to help manage legal complications so that your affairs are handled according to your wishes. Access to Accounts: In today’s digital world, decide who will have access to your online accounts to prevent future challenges for loved ones. It’s not just about wealth or age—it’s about helping protect what matters most and preparing for the unexpected. What can you do now? Start with the basics: Consider setting up a will, setting up healthcare directives, and assigning a financial power of attorney. Consult a professional: Consider working with a legal professional to create a strategy that fits your unique situation and can evolve as your life changes. Have questions or think you're too young for this conversation? Let's discuss why preparation is essential, regardless of age or wealth. #EstatePreparation #FinancialFuture #Legacy #WealthBuilding

💬 Did you know that the Social Security death benefit has remained at $255 since 1954 despite increases in funeral costs over the decades? However, the Social Security Survivor Benefits Equity Act proposes raising the one-time payment to $2,900 starting in 2025, with annual inflation adjustments thereafter. The bill is currently under consideration in Congress and may be considered again at a later date. One important reminder: Eligible spouses or children must apply to receive this benefit—it isn’t automatic. If you have questions about Social Security benefits or preparing for unexpected expenses, let’s connect. #SocialSecurity #Benefits #Legislation #RetirementStrategy
