The Economic Myth-Destroyer Gets His Due

Submitted by Third Eye Associates, Ltd on October 13th, 2017

Imagine a person who always, in every circumstance, makes rational decisions with his money. He saves when he ought to and spends exactly as he should spend, in order to maximize the “utility” of whatever wealth he happens to possess. He defers gratification with ease.

The Good Side of Bad Markets

Submitted by Third Eye Associates, Ltd on February 17th, 2016

After the recent downturn in the U.S. and global stock markets, you can be pardoned if you wished that the markets were a bit tamer. Wouldn't it be nice to get, say, a steady 4% return every year rather than all these ups and downs?

Divorce ― 3 Mistakes That Will Influence Financial Well-Being

Submitted by Third Eye Associates, Ltd on June 16th, 2015

June 6, 2015

The Fiscal Times – article by Kathryn Tuggle

If you’re going through a divorce, your future financial well-being may be the last thing on your mind. Unfortunately, when emotions get in the way, it’s easier to make mistakes that may cost you for years to come. Here’s a look at three of the worst financial mistakes you can make during a divorce.

1. You don’t know where the assets are or you lack an understanding of the household finances.

Dividing assets can be “simple math,” as alimony and child support are dictated in most states by a formula, says Michael Rosenberg, managing director of wealth management firm Diversified Investment Strategies.  “By financial professionals, divorce is viewed purely as an economic divide,” he says.  But when one spouse doesn’t have an understanding of the household or business assets, they often don’t know the basis for the concessions they might be called to make, says Derek Gabrielsen, a wealth advisor at financial management firm Strategic Wealth Partners.

Life Transitions ― Money, Emotions and Confusion

Submitted by Third Eye Associates, Ltd on May 8th, 2014

December 27, 2013

By Beth Jones, RLP®, AIF®, CFT™

Life is full of changes

What do a lottery winner, lawsuit recipient and a widow have in common? Sudden money ― and sudden, similar emotions. While it may seem their experiences are polar opposites ― one is a “celebratory” experience and another involves deep grief ― both result in shared emotions. Shock, surprise, loss of identity and self-esteem, guilt, confusion, overwhelm, dramatically altered relations with friends and family. Other transitions which can elicit similar emotions are divorce, retirement, sale of a business, loss of money or a loved one. Life transitions are a time of change ― “what was” no longer exists and “what will be” has not yet taken shape. By definition, a transition is a temporary state. One of the keys to a successful transition is to take the time to re-examine your sense of purpose and consider your new choices in light of your highest life goals. Working with a financial planner trained by the Sudden Money® Institute in Financial Transition Planning can provide the needed guidance and structure to handle this time effectively.
