we can extend a helping hand. Wisdom should be recognized as means
                        to living a full, blessed life that can be passed on to others so they can be

                        blessed as well.
                            We  make our living educating  people  on  the  complexities of the
                        financial world. We simplify it so that it is not intimidating, and they can

                        see and understand why it will help them. Wisdom is when you know
                        you should be setting aside funds for the future, taking advantage of the

                        time value of money. Wisdom is recognizing the need to have a better
                        understanding of your benefits and implementing change when needed
                        and making educated decisions

                            The wise are not always seen as the popular group. They may opt out
                        of  the  happy  hour  and  spend  that  time  attending  a  TSP  workshop,
                        meeting with an advisor, or doing an annual review to make sure they

                        stay on track. Are you establishing a long-term game plan?






                            Have you ever committed to some type of self-improvement? A new

                        exercise program is usually the most common. Day one gets here, and
                        you are trying to get yourself in the right frame of mind to overcome
                        procrastination and to get the ball rolling. The exercise machines feel a
