Congratulations to the recent grads! Before that first paycheck hits, here are a few financial moves to have on your radar:

- Build a starter emergency fund — even a small amount makes a difference
- Sign up for your employer's 401(k) and look into whether there's a match
- Start tracking where your money actually goes
- Check your credit report regularly

Get the momentum going early.

Have you checked your beneficiaries lately? The names listed on your 401(k), IRA, and life insurance policies override whatever your will says. That means an outdated beneficiary form can disrupt your planning.

Major life events are moments when these forms need a second look. When was the last time you checked yours?

The FIFA World Cup kicks off today and is a good reminder that even the most talented players don't win alone.

Your CPA, estate attorney, insurance professional, and financial planner each see one part of the field. When they don't talk to each other, even good decisions can work against the bigger picture.

Part of our role is being the connective tissue. If you are ready for a coordinated team, let's talk: https://www.dwassociates.com/contact

A lot of financial conversations start with your portfolio. Ours starts with what you want your life to look like, and works backward from there.

We're sharing one of "Life's Little Instructions" that is especially relevant in summer: Buy whatever kids are selling on card tables in their front yards.

Whether they are selling lemonade, bookmarks, or something we can't quite identify, our team has a habit of turning the car around to support these budding businesses.

Supporting a kid's entrepreneurial spirit is an unbeatable experience for you and for them.

At a large institution, your account is one of millions, and you may not get to speak to the same person twice until you hit a certain service tier.

Whether you're just starting to build wealth or stewarding what took a lifetime to create, you deserve to know who is managing your financial life and build a lasting relationship with them.

Did you know a 1031 exchange can go into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)? For accredited investors, DSTs are IRS-recognized as qualifying replacement property and may offer a path to passive ownership instead of active management.

They're securities, not direct real estate. That means trade-offs that may not be right for every investor: illiquidity, long holding periods, fees, and the risk of principal loss.

If you're planning a sale, our team can walk through whether a DST might fit alongside your CPA and tax advisor.

If you or someone in your family is still in school—or heading back in the fall—now is the time to make sure your FAFSA form is in.

A few things worth knowing:
1. The federal deadline is June 30. State and school deadlines are often earlier.
2. Many types of aid are first-come, first-served. Waiting could cost money.
3. You can make corrections after submission, but the form needs to be in first.

Don't let a deadline get in the way of money that's already available to you.
