Back-to-School Financial Review

August 9, 2017 By Katie Brewer

Back-to-school financial review

Something about back-to-school season brings that urge to refresh, reorganize, and get to work (and maybe buy a few office accessories just for fun.) If you’re a student or a parent to a student, you’ve probably been buying school supplies, filling out paperwork and savoring what’s left of summer. Even if you’re not a parent or a student, you can harness the “fresh start” energy of Continue Reading

April 26, 2017 By Katie Brewer

Your tax refund

  Another tax season has come and gone, and if you're receiving a tax refund, you may be wondering what to do with it.
