Submitted by BCR Wealth Strategies on December 11th, 2017

We have recently had several of our friends and clients ask us about the craze that is bitcoin, and whether or not we feel it is a good investment opportunity.  If you have met with us before and understand our investment philosophy, you likely already know our answer.  That said, anytime an investment performs the way bitcoin and other crypto currencies have performed over the recent

Submitted by BCR Wealth Strategies on November 27th, 2017

When it comes to estate planning, many people procrastinate - even if they're married - until they have kids.  There seems to be a common misconception that estate documents are only for the wealthy and those who have children, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Submitted by BCR Wealth Strategies on October 30th, 2017

All marriages end at some point, but the most blessed ones end with the death of a spouse.  If you ask any widow or widower, most will tell you they knew it would happen someday, but they never planned for it to happen when it did.  When the time comes, it can be very difficult, in that moment, to think of all you need to do if you don’t already have a plan in place.  Being
