They are helping people build customized portfolios for people that cannot afford the high priced financial advisers.

Just reading about Meredith Kessler, a triathlete, I’m beyond impressed. She’s about to complete her 55th long- distance Ironman race. That’s 5-5 FIFTY FIVE races, just WOW! Many people that aren’t familiar with a triathlon don’t know that there are different distances that can be competed in.

Have you ever heard somebody say to go have a good cry? The majority of times crying is not the result of something good, but a genuine cry can have its benefits. Many of the benefits are psychological and emotionally healing, but it can also help to release toxins and relieve stress.
