A family letter is a key part of a good estate plan. It is much more personal than many of your estate documents. A family letter allows you to share your heart and show appreciation and gratitude to family members.

"What tips or resources can you recommend for researching communities in the U.S.? My wife and I will both be retiring in a few years and are interested in relocating to a smaller house in a sunnier climate but could use some help. What can you tell us?"

Finances
Expedia, Inc. announced soaring second-quarter profits this week. Profits rose from $40.9 million one year ago to $114.3 for the quarter. Expedia attributed the higher profits to an increase in international business, which accounted for 33% of worldwide bookings.
Treasuries rose this week followed by the release of U.S. Commerce Department data showing that U.S. economic growth slowed in the second quarter.
Freddie Mac reported mortgage rates down for the sixth consecutive week with the 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages reaching record lows. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 4.54%, down from last week when it averaged 4.56%.
