Brown Family Wealth Advisors

From the desk of Mike Brown: I’m proud to announce Wealth and Wisdom, our free weekly e-letter for subscribers and clients of Brown Family Wealth Advisors, has a new home. We’ve launched a brand-new website! HelpMeRetirePod.com is devoted exclusively to helping people like you prepare for the day when you can stop working for money and let your money work for you. HelpMeRetirePod.com is also the home to our new podcast, Help Me Retire. A lot of people who read “Wealth and Wisdom” each week originally heard me each week on the radio as host of “The KMOX Money Show”. (And some of you are even old enough to remember my “News 4 Your Money” segments on KMOV-TV Channel 4!) I loved the nearly four decades I spent on TV and radio providing information and advice to my fellow St. Louisans. Over the last several years, however, the radio show was pre-empted by ballgames and infomercials more than it was on. My clients, listeners, and readers wanted to hear from me more often, so I’m now stepping into the world of podcasting to help fill the void. I hope you will join me in this new adventure by listening to the first two episodes, which are now posted on the website. Look for Episode 3 the week of July 1. #HelpMeRetirePod #WealthAndWisdom #Retirement #YourWayToTrueWealth #TrueWealth

We will be holding our final Help Me Retire investor workshop of 2024 in a few weeks – and we would love to have you join us! Many investors are surprised when they discover that their portfolio returns aren’t entirely driven by the investments they own, or when they buy them. When it comes to your financial success, your own behavior as an investor is often more important than the investments you own. The good news is that how you respond to challenging market conditions is completely within your control. The bad news is that controlling your emotions isn’t so easy! In this workshop – “Behaving Your Way to Wealth” – I will show you 12 ways to use your brain to become a better investor. I’ll help you avoid some of the most common unforced mental errors I see investors make every day. And I’ll teach you how to build a portfolio you can stick with when times are good and bad. So circle the date – Saturday, November 9 – and make plans to join us for coffee, a light breakfast, and some ideas you’ve probably never considered when it comes to investing for and in retirement. As a Wealth and Wisdom subscriber, you’ll be getting a personal email invitation to this workshop. But seating will be limited, so act quickly when you receive it. We look forward to seeing you!
