FINANCIALLY FOCUSED
March 2025 Newsletter

Periodically we like to share some tips and advice in regards to an area of constant change that is important - Privacy and Technology.
As most of You are aware it becomes more important and more complicated on a daily basis and we don’t think it will slow down anytime soon. Think of how many steps You are seeing such as 2 factors/test or email codes/puzzles/third party applications and related additional steps that are constantly implemented to protect Your privacy. While we are not in the “security or IT business” we all need to be extremely careful out there to keep our personal information safe from prying eyes. Here are a few things that we employ that may be helpful for You:
- Do not send emails that have ANY personal information that could be stolen or used against you. Examples are Social Security numbers, Account numbers, sharing of attachments with personal information, Etc.
- If You have to send an email use a Secure or Encrypted option and keep that email secure when replying or forwarding. If you are not familiar with how to do this take a few minutes to look up how to do this online, it is fairly simple and there are lots of resources out there to explain how to use and resources you could use.
- Keep a security password on ALL Electronics that may have personal information. From Your Mobile Phone, Your tablet and/or Your Computer this adds an extra level of security access to those devices.
- Be aware of whether you are using a home or work vs public network when you are online and set your Electronics privacy settings appropriately.
- Do NOT “save” or use “automatic” passwords. While this is very convenient, it is VERY convenient for those prying eyes as you have left the electronic “door” open for them.
- 2 Factor Authentication or other levels of verification: again, not a convenience for You, but is another level of a “locked door” to go thru to verify who is logging in to those websites that have private information on You.
This is just a short list to share and some common sense points of security in our digital world of constant change. Since Technology moves forward at an extremely fast pace we always recommend that you find and work with a reputable “IT” company that can help and guide you with Your privacy and Security.
We hope that this is helpful information for You, Thank you.

There’s Actually No Green Pigment in Green Eyes
They are an unusual blend of light brown and yellow pigments with some Rayleigh scattering - which is the dispersion of light as it bounces off of air molecules. So, in a way, when we see green eyes, it’s an optical illusion. If you know anyone with green eyes, you can let them know it’s also one of the rarest eye colors in the world.1
