Keen On Retirement

For the second year in a row, we decided that it would be prudent to hold our Holiday Market Outlook virtually. And while we're disappointed that we can't share the fellowship of our breakfast event with you, please know how grateful the Keen Wealth team is for the privilege of serving as your financial advisor.

Moving into the holiday season, our thoughts naturally turn to the friends and family we're so grateful to have in our lives. Seeing those people may feel extra special if, after a Zoom Thanksgiving in 2020, you're finally going to be able to share your dinner table with loved ones this week.

We expect Thanksgiving to be a little stressful, especially if we’re hosting. We plan on being exhausted, especially if travel and kids are involved. And we often mentally prepare for some tension, especially if the dinner conversation turns to politics.

Thank you to all of our clients, family, and friends who continue to make our Holiday Breakfasts such a wonderful tradition. And if you haven’t already, call us up to schedule a meeting so that we can review your portfolio and your goals for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2020.

But sustaining that can-do attitude can be really challenging once we settle back into our daily routines. Study after study has shown that most New Year’s resolutions fail in a matter of weeks. That can lead to feelings of defeat and even depression before the year has even begun.

But you can’t talk about the holidays without acknowledging that it can be stressful having so much family under one roof! Once you’re done catching up, playing with the little ones, eating, and opening gifts, it’s inevitable that conversation will drift to some topics that folks have very strong and very different opinions about.
