  3. So I've always been a financial planning DIYer. I understand American investing & personal finance pretty well. BUT now my UK nephew is asking me questions and I'm starting to look online for good software/apps/resources and at least so far, it would appear the US is far ahead of the UK in terms of tools, etc. Am I missing anything? I'm continuing to look. I've started researching UK taxes, etc. of course. Plus what retirement account types are available, etc. #FinancialPlanning #UKFinance

  4. Every so often I share how much I like the financial & retirement planning tool, Boldin. I'm not affiliated in any way. anyway, it has recently added guardrails for spending planning which is great. It's $140/year I think (I pay grandfathered in price) and frankly even if you have a financial advisor, I think it's a worthy add, because nobody will care more about being accurate about your financial planning than you will yourself. :) boldin.com #FinancialPlanning #Retirement #Boldin

  6. Important Dates in March – Financial, Travel and Healthcare Deadlines to Know

    Stay Ahead: Key March 2026 Dates You Shouldn’t Miss

    March isn’t just about spring weather and St. Patrick’s Day celebrations — it’s also a crucial month for financial planning, healthcare decisions, and travel savings. Whether you’re budgeting, planning summer trips, or reviewing health coverage, these important March 2026 dates can help you stay organized and save money.

    March 1 — Start Planning Summer Travel & Activities

    Early March is an ideal time to begin booking summer camps, flights, and vacation plans.

    Why it matters:

    Many summer camps offer early-bird discounts of 10–20% for families who register before spring deadlines. Airline tickets can be up to 25% cheaper when booked about three months ahead of travel. Setting up airfare alerts helps track price drops and deals.

    Helpful tip:

    Create travel price alerts and start comparing options now to avoid peak-season price spikes.

    March 15 — Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Deadline

    If your employer offers a grace period for 2025 FSA funds, March 15 is commonly the last day to spend remaining balances.

    Key details:

    FSA funds can cover eligible healthcare expenses such as dental care, vision services, prescriptions, and medical supplies. Contributions are pre-tax, often saving about 30% on healthcare costs. Unused funds may expire after the deadline depending on your plan rules.

    Check your FSA balance now and schedule eligible purchases or appointments before the cutoff.

    March 31 — Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Ends

    March 31 marks the final day of the Medicare Advantage open-enrollment period.

    What this means:

    You can switch Medicare Advantage plans or return to Original Medicare. Updated 2026 plan changes include cost adjustments and benefit updates. Reviewing coverage ensures your healthcare plan matches your current needs.

    Recommendation:

    If you or a loved one is enrolled in Medicare Advantage, review options before the deadline to avoid waiting until the next enrollment period.

    Why These March Dates Matter

    Staying aware of financial and healthcare deadlines can help you:

    Save money on travel and summer programs Maximize tax-advantaged health benefits Avoid coverage gaps or missed enrollment windows Improve overall financial planning

    Final Takeaway

    March 2026 offers several opportunities to make smart financial, travel, and healthcare decisions. A little planning now can mean lower costs, better benefits, and fewer last-minute surprises later in the year.
