Tips to Build a Stable,

Building wealth is not as easy as it sounds. It can take time, discipline and a plan to keep those dollars protected. However, if done correctly, it can provide security for your family for years to come.

No matter where you are in your personal financial journey, there are steps you can take to help build a financially secure future. Although your approach should be personalized to your specific situation, Freddie Mac suggests building your plan on three main pillars: accumulate, preserve and protect what you’ve built.

Accumulate

The first, and one of the most challenging steps, is saving for your future while covering basic expenses. Establishing and working toward defined financial goals in the short-, medium- and long-term is a good place to start. Also, understanding your money mindset can help you identify opportunities to create healthier spending and saving habits.

Over time, it’s important for you to position yourself to take advantage of opportunities to raise your income. Consider discussing a raise with your current employer, taking a job opportunity with higher pay or starting a side business to supplement your income. You should also begin to build an emergency fund, which will better position you to weather unexpected ﬁnancial emergencies. In general, you should save enough in this fund to cover three to six months of your typical monthly expenses.

In addition, if you are ﬁnancially prepared for it, purchasing a home can help you build wealth in ways that renting cannot.

for Your Family

when working with lenders, as well as provide a host of other long-term beneﬁts.

Protect

Lastly, you should have a plan in place to eventually transfer the wealth you’ve built to family and loved ones.

CNBC reports that an estimated $68 trillion will be passed down from the baby boomer generation between 2019 and 2044. Having an estate plan can give you peace of mind that your assets will be allocated according to your wishes when the time comes.

In the meantime, you should also protect your assets from the unexpected. In addition to taking steps to safeguard your property from natural disasters, you should invest in a comprehensive renter or homeowner insurance policy. And always be mindful of the wide variety of scammers and hackers looking to access your resources.

Education has power. As you begin your journey, you can build your ﬁnancial savviness with Freddie Mac CreditSmart Essentials, a suite of free education tools and information covering topics like how to buy a home or car, how to improve credit and how to build wealth. To learn more, visit creditsmart.freddiemac.com.

Preserve

Once you’ve begun to accumulate wealth, the next step is preserving it. You can accomplish this by protecting and growing your money over time. Managing your debts and expenses is paramount. Pay down debts in high-interest accounts and prioritize other expenses that require immediate attention.

Your credit score is a critical part of this equation, and the time to improve it is right now. A strong credit score can help you receive a better interest rate and loan terms

Tired of the financial roller coaster?

Building wealth doesn’t happen overnight. With consistency and commitment, and the right knowledge and mindset, you can create a stable future for you and your loved ones.

Painfully slow climb.

Anxiety-building wait on top.

Then the fall. Up and down.

If you would like to step off the financial roller coaster onto solid ground, we have some suggestions:

•Evaluate your investments

•Determine your state of risk

•Review your needs

•Reallocate as needed

•Check in regularly with a financial representative you trust.

Contact Steve Volpe at GCU Wealth Advisors. He would be glad to help evaluate your needs and make suggestions to help secure your financial goals.

BUSINESSSpotlight

BY JENNIFER COATES

When you have been in the auto repair business for your entire career, you begin to hear some common and oft-repeated gripes. For the owner of Diversified Auto Repair in Coventry and longtime technician Alex Deus, a frequent complaint was the request for convenient and timely service for scheduled maintenance visits.

Customers ask, why should I have to wait for hours to get a basic oil change? Why should I have to drop off my vehicle for a day when all I need is a straight-forward state inspection, tire rotation or battery replacement? Time is such a valuable commodity these days and our dependence on our vehicles is so deeply rooted ~ we are all seeking convenience and anything that saves us that valuable time!

Alex Deus acted on the feedback of his many customers when he opened Express Oil Change in April of this year. Today, this is a bustling and fully-operational destination in Coventry for all your basic and scheduled maintenance needs. Express Oil Change is an extension of next-door Diversified Auto Repair. Located laterally opposite this longstanding repair shop on the corner of South Main and Main Street (across the street from Dave’s Market), this new express “in and out” shop offers efficient, affordable, and professional service.

Express Oil Change services all vehicles and light trucks (no diesel vehicles please). Just pull in ~ no appointments are necessary ~ and you will be out in no time following an oil change, battery replacement, tire rotation/repair and/or state inspection.

When Deus opened this convenient shop, he hoped that both his loyal and new customers alike would experience his commitment to excellence as a business owner of nearly twenty years and as a technician of nearly thirty. Raised in Coventry

where he graduated from Coventry High School’s high regarded vocational program, Deus’s own training includes graduating the prestigious Ohio Auto/Diesel Tech Institute in Cleveland and years of dealership experience. Today, he runs Diversified Auto Repair and Express Oil Change with a full crew of talented technicians, all of whom participate in weekly trainings to refine and advance their skills.

For those who have been customers of Diversified Auto, they know that it is a full-service auto repair shop. Its reputation for superior workmanship, trustworthiness, professionalism, and

efficiency is indisputable. Their work includes everything from brake and suspension issues to A/C and exhaust work ~ and literally everything in between. Every service they provide is done with expertise, skill, and attention to detail.

And now, with the express service next door, there is nothing that Deus and his team can’t do!

Express Oil Change is now OPEN at 1160 Main Street in Coventry. Hours at the Express are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm and Saturdays, 8:00am to 2:00pm. No appointment is ever needed!

An Interesting Gun Made in Rhode Island

By Joel Bohy Historic Arms & Militaria Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers Cranston, RI

Awhile back I wrote a blog about the U.S. Model 1941 semi-automatic riﬂe that was manufactured by Cranston Arms Company not far from the location of our auction gallery. A brief recap is in order, I guess.

Melvin Johnson was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1909. He joined the Marine Corps Reserve and in 1933 he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant, and by 1934 had graduated Harvard Law School. In 1935 he was an observer for the Marine’s at Springfield Armory just as the U.S. Army was looking for a semi-automatic rifle to adopt and Johnson had a design in mind. At the same time, John C. Garand had designed the M1 Garand rifle which was accepted

into service in 1936. That didn’t stop Johnson from working on his design. He continued designing and building a weapon he felt had some superiority over the Garand. It had a larger magazine capacity at ten rounds and could be easily loaded with a stripper clip in use with the U.S. Model 1903 bolt-action rifle. But the gun was a little more complex, prone to jam, and not as easily stripped in the field for cleaning and maintenance by the common soldier. It was accepted into service in limited numbers and used by the Marine Corps to some degree in the Pacific Theater of operations. It was manufactured and issued in limited numbers, and it is believed a total of around 30,000 were made.

Recently, I received a call from a person who’s relative had passed away and there were guns in the house that they wanted to be sold at auc-

tion. I took a trip over and went through each of the arms with them, what they were, and what they were not. They had a few cool things, a Smith carbine, Sharps, Spencer, all Civil War-era guns. There were some earlier flintlocks also of interest, and a few German K98 Mausers and other miscellaneous things including a Model 1941 Johnson rifle. After a nice chat with the consignors, I packed up and headed back to the office.

After unpacking at the gallery, I picked up the Johnson and looked it over. It has some very light wear, a few light dings, nicks, and stains on the stock, but it was in really nice condition. Then I looked at the serial number, S-10. I have seen Johnson’s with no preﬁx, as well as A and B. But never an S. I had to do a little snooping around, but it seems there are a few known starting with S-1 and ending with S-6. Since there has never been one found with a higher number, it was thought these are tool room samples and possibly the ﬁrst made at the Cranston manufactory – making it a super rare piece of Rhode Island military history!

thought these are tool room samples Cranston manufactory – making it

I texted a few of my historic arms collector friends and my phone began to ring with questions like “Is it for sale now?” and “Can I buy it?” The answer is yes, you can - when it comes up for sale at our next Historic Arms & Militaria auction!
