For that reason, this Finger Financial Five will re-share some timely information.

On the lighter side, we weathered the storm. Hope you did, too. We only lost a few limbs. Started raking the yard and a wonderful neighbor suggested I borrow his lawnmower to mow it instead. He said his mower turns the limbs to mulch. It did! Today’s machines can do about anything.
We take Elliott to visit the University of South Carolina this Saturday. I feel him getting closer and closer to leaving the nest. I am happy and sad.
Hope all is well with you and your family,
