Merry

Merry Wednesday!

Christmas is just a few days away, and I want to wish you, your family, and your friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Going to keep this one short & sweet.

I'm signing off for 2022, and will be back in your inbox on Wednesday, January 4th of the New Year...

Can you do me a quick favor?

Hit reply and share one thing you remember most fondly about 2022 and also share one thing you're looking forward to in 2023.

Thank you!

Links & things

I was quoted in this industry article about annuities and my general distaste for them. The bulk of my submitted comments were left on the cutting room floor:

• Annuities are popular amid volatility. But critics remain.

And here's a good question... in fact, it's apparently a $42 billion question:

• Why aren't Americans ditching big banks?

Thank you, as always, for reading.

And if you have any questions or an idea for a future newsletter, blog post, or YouTube video, I'd love your input.

Just hit reply - I read (and appreciate) every email you send.

Until next year,

Russ
