Hello from Mint Hill, NC!
Well, it happened…school is out and summer is officially here! For my family that has already meant beach time, backyard smashburgers and even some pickleball. Feel free to treat this email as your friendly reminder to slow down for a few moments this summer and enjoy yourself with friends and family. In fact, one of the articles included below is a scientific look at how to have a great vacation. Another article demonstrates how the inflated value of the dollar can be leveraged when traveling abroad.
If summer travel is not your cup of tea, we have also included options to read about the recent rise in money supply, the average cost of estate planning and tips on how to manage an inheritance. We aim to pass along resources that stick out to us as both enjoyable and informative. Let us know what you find the most intriguing.
We appreciate the trust you put in our firm. As always, if there is anything we can do to support you, please let us know.
Thank you,
Jake Stevenson, Partner
