Turning the page on a new year means so many activities to so many of us. The joy of writing on a new calendar, scrolling birthdays and anniversaries, scheduling annual appointments for dental, eye and physical exams for my family all make me happy in anticipation of a fresh New Year. One semi-annual appointment I encourage all of my friends and family to schedule is a Financial Well-Being Check Up with their financial institution. Things in everyone’s lives change every year - a new child, a grandchild, divorce or marriage. Perhaps this is the year you have set goals for yourself and your family. Making better choices in the food we eat, getting more exercise, or maybe saving money for a new car, planning a vacation for your family or saving for a college education. One constant in life is CHANGE and we need to plan for those changes the best we can.
