In this month’s blog, we’re sharing a simple but important reminder: financial planning isn’t just about preparing for the future, it’s also about enjoying life today.

As summer invites us to slow down, travel, and spend time with the people we care about most, we explore how a solid financial plan can help you enjoy these moments with confidence. From intentional spending to mid-year financial check-ins, this blog highlights the importance of balancing future goals with present-day experiences. ☀️

Estate planning tends to be one of those things people put off.

“I’ll get to it later”
“I already have a will”
“I’m not there yet”

But it’s not just about later.

It’s about having things in place for the moments you don’t see coming.

Especially when life starts to look a little different: maybe you’ve bought a home, started a family, or just have more going on than you used to.

A will is a great start, but it doesn’t cover everything.
A full estate plan helps make sure:
• The right people can step in if needed
• Your accounts and beneficiaries are aligned
• Everything works the way you actually intend

That’s where a full plan comes in, making sure the right people can step in if needed, and everything is aligned behind the scenes.

Save this for later if this is something you’ve been meaning to get to or reach out if you want to walk through it together. 💚

At SMB, we’re always looking for ways to better support our clients and make the financial planning process as seamless as possible. Through organizing important paperwork, guiding clients through major life transitions, or now offering notary services right in our office, we’re committed to being a trusted resource every step of the way.

Becoming a certified Notary is another way Liana is expanding the support we can provide to the families we work with, while adding even more convenience for our clients when important documents need to be finalized.

We’re so excited for this accomplishment and proud to continue growing as a team. Congratulations, Liana!

Happy National 5•29 Day! 🎓

Saving for a child or grandchild’s future education is one of those goals that can feel overwhelming at first but small steps over time can make a big impact. That’s why today (5/29!) is all about bringing awareness to 529 plans and the flexibility they can offer families.

A few things many people don’t realize can qualify for tax-free 529 withdrawals:
💰 Tuition & fees
📚 Books & supplies
🏘️ Room & board (within limits)
🖥️ Apprenticeship programs
🎒 K–12 tuition (up to $10k/year)
💸 Student loan repayment for beneficiaries and siblings (up to lifetime limits)

One of the biggest updates in recent years came through SECURE 2.0 legislation, which allows unused 529 funds to potentially be rolled into a Roth IRA for the beneficiary, subject to certain rules and limits.

This added flexibility has been a meaningful change for families who worry about “what if the money doesn’t get used for college?” It can also help give younger generations an early start toward long-term financial goals.

As always, every family’s situation is different, but it’s encouraging to see more options available when it comes to saving for education and beyond.

One of the biggest compliments we can ever receive is the trust that clients place in us over the years.

Being a part of their journey through all their career changes, retirement planning, family milestones, and everything in between means the world to us. It’s not just about the accounts; it’s about people, partnerships, and relationships.

We are grateful to clients like Barry who have trusted us since 2006. 🤍
