NWP Monthly Digest | April 2022
So many things on my mind…where do we even start? War in Ukraine? Will Smith and Chris Rock? Whatever anyone on either end of the political spectrum is upset about today? So many things and so little time! And to top it off, it’s April Fool’s Day, which gives me the option of writing something that doesn’t even have to be true.
Instead, I’m going to hit on a few things I think I think in this month’s newsletter…

The world is watching the news like a hawk as Russia embarks on a quest to subjugate its western neighbor. Russian troops march into Ukraine, Russian protesters march all over the country to denounce the incursion of Ukraine. Russia’s seemingly pointless invasion faces global condemnation as leaders worldwide unify to chastise…

The word RISK, defined by the American Heritage Dictionary…
The possibility of suffering harm or loss; danger.
A factor, thing, element, or course involving uncertain danger; a hazard
The danger or probability of loss (to an insurance company).
Perhaps you define RISK differently in your head, even if you don’t know you’re doing it. How do you picture someone in your head that you consider a “risk-taker”? Do find them brave? Crazy? Out of control?

Happy New Year to our dear readers and clients. It’s a very sad time here in Colorado…tragically sad. The area near Boulder, specifically the towns of Superior/Louisville/Lafayette to the east of Boulder, is devastated. As of this writing, over 500 homes have burned to the ground and 35,000 people had to be evacuated from their homes at a moment’s notice as a grass fire swept across a very densely populated part of our home state. The fire was allegedly started by a downed power line onto an extraordinarily dry field of grass on Thursday, December 30th.

Last month I had the opportunity to reflect upon all the things in my life I should be grateful for. This year, topping the list is all the loving, kind-hearted people around me that make life special. If you live in Denver and don’t like shoveling snow, celebrate the wonderful weather. In November, the average temperature in Denver is around 44…

For many of our clients, friends, and family, it’s no surprise that retirement is on their minds. Our conversations on retirement run the gamut- from the young clients that want to retire as early as possible because they’re stressed out and hate their jobs, to the older clients that love their jobs and don’t ever want to leave. Truth is, retirement and financial independence are your own journey, and there is little chance it will happen for you right at the tender age of 65.

Fall also marks Back to School Mania for us parents. As I embark on my 14th consecutive year of sending at least one of my children to school in the fall (my oldest is a senior in high school), it never ceases to amaze me how August and September calendars are absolutely LOADED with extracurricular meetings and events. Homecoming is right around the corner for my two high schoolers, and it’s yet another reminder of this wonderful time of year, busy as it may be.

Once again, COVID is front and center as we watch the delta variant moves through the country with daily new cases approaching one hundred thousand, a level not seen since the winter. Economists and investors are trying to parse through the data and cogitate the repercussions. The headlines are unnerving, but the daily deaths remain at the lowest levels since March of last year. If you’re interested, Public Health England…

At its very basic core, inflation is an increase in the prices of goods services. Very typically, this happens when an increasing supply of money is chasing a shrinking (or not growing) supply of those goods and services.
The fundamental force behind economics and pricing power is supply and demand. When supply goes down…
