2. A few topics from the last meeting and for upcoming meetings
Last time we discussed an article about Financial Advisers and there are additional articles on the Kiplinger website. https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/is-your-financial-adviser-doing-a-good-jobfor-you#.
It was mentioned that Rick Edelman offers Financial Advisors via their website at https://www.edelmanfinancialengines.com. I have not explored this deeply and will be interested in hearing from you if you look into it.
We talked briefly about politics and money spent for elections. You can explore the website Open Secrets for all kind of information about money in politics. https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/cost-of-election
I mentioned our trip to Ohio and learning that they have term limits. You can read about it on another great website called Ballotpedia at https://ballotpedia.org/Category:Term_limits,_Ohio. Lots of great things to explore there.
The book “This Time Tomorrow” by Emma Straub was mentioned and that’s on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/This-Time-Tomorrow-Emma-Straub-ebook/dp/B09H2H2VB4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=5KN5KT5LXX5V&keywords=“This+Time+Tomorrow”+by+Emma+Straub&qid=1695861644&sprefix=this+time+tomorrow+by+emma+straub%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-1.
We’ve touched on the Fairness Doctrine and how that fundamentally changed the way information is presented in news outlets and those calling themselves “news.” The Reagan Library has a good explanation at https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/archives/topic-guide/fairness-doctrine. It’s an important topic and I hope you get a chance to read about it. Maybe a topic for next time.
We will probably have a thing or two to discuss following Monday’s community Town Hall and our upcoming meeting with candidates for our Homeowners Board of Directors.
Thanks again to Barbara for bringing in the topic of regret. That’s given me a lot to consider and I’ve thought carefully about Joan’s comments.
Do you have some tips, websites, podcasts or books to share?
Please bring a list of any of the following:
- favorite websites
- your subscription magazines - how did you choose and what’s important to you about them?
- names of a few books you’ve recently read
- summary of recent articles of interest
- topics on your mind
We’ll use the list to determine topics.
I hope to see you on Monday, October 2.
Cheers,
Marcia
