The digitization of financial services is upon us and with it comes an opportunity to grow—not just in our use of technology, but also in the way we serve clients. In this age of hybrid financial advice, where clients wish to experience the same autonomy they have on Amazon with the customized advice they get from their therapist, we have a lot of growing to do in the industry to meet these demands. Innovation is the key and technology is just a piece of the puzzle.
We have no doubt that the Coronavirus and the market volatility surrounding it have dominated your newsfeed of late. Naturally, this leads to questions and concerns about the market in general, and about how it impacts you specifically.
It is true that there are a lot of variables at play, a great majority of them out of your control. What is under your control is how you respond, or not. First and foremost, do not let fear guide your decisions. Market swings are inevitable. Long-term, goal-oriented investors understand the need to stay the course and, at times, do nothing at all. Dave Ramsey suggests the following, “Do not get off the roller coaster in the middle of the ride.” Those who heeded this sound advice back in 2008 benefitted from the market rebound in 2009 and beyond.
Of course, our Financial Advisors are always available to address any specific concerns you may have and, if necessary, re-evaluate your financial plan. Clearly, times change. If your life, goals, or risk tolerance has changed, let’s sit down and make sure we are still on the best track for you to achieve financial independence.
Please know that Trilogy Financial remains committed to providing the resources you need to navigate through the uncertainty. Most importantly, rest assured knowing that this too shall pass and that you are not alone.

...IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO boost your bank account and lower your bills, assessing where you can trim your expenses is an ideal step toward taking control of your finances.

You may have to modify your budget, re-evaluate your spending habits and even shift your mindset. So if you want to go on a financial diet but aren't sure how to start, try the following expert-backed strategies.
Start tracking your expenses. “In order to cut back on the budget, you need to have a budget,” says Kevin Gallegos, the vice president of client enrollment with Freedom Debt Relief, a debt settlement company based in Phoenix. “While people may talk about trimming the budget, relatively few actually have one written down. A spreadsheet or pencil and paper will work as well as budget-specific software or an app,” he says.
