I’ve been in ongoing “negotiations” with my 10-year-old daughter about whether she can have an Apple Watch, iPad, or iPhone. There is no quit in this child. When my wife and I say no to the watch, she pivots to the iPad. When we say no to the iPad, she asks for the phone. Around and around, we go.
Recently, after yet another Apple Watch request, I decided to have a little fun. I said, “We’re not buying you a watch, but how about some Apple stock instead?” Her reaction was about what you’d expect: arms crossed, eyes rolled. She asked, “What even is stock anyway?”
I explained that owning stock means owning a piece of the actual company. She told me that made no sense, reminded me it wouldn’t help her text her friends, and stomped off to her room.
Members of Strategic Wealth Partners are proud to have attended The Women’s Center Anniversary Luncheon, raising awareness and support for sexual assault survivors. Kathy Klein, CFP® has been longtime supporters of The Women’s Center – a significant women and family shelter in southeastern Wisconsin.
Klein knew she had to support this organization after attending a fundraiser in 2007. “I learned that the organization received requests for help from approximately 2,000 families annually – which was just astounding to me,” Klein explained. “Domestic abuse knows no socioeconomic or ethnic boundaries and can permanently scar all members of a family with deep psychological wounds. The work The Women’s Center is doing is impactful and life changing!”
The Women’s Center is located in Waukesha, WI and provides safety, shelter, and support to adult and child survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and trafficking.
