Your “Once in a Lifetime” Summer
When The Talking Heads released Once in a Lifetime in 1980, the world backdrop was anything but calm. Inflation was high, recession fears were real, and uncertainty seemed to be everywhere. More than four decades later, the feeling is familiar — and it has us singing, same as it ever was.
And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”
Maybe your concerns are rising prices, the impact of AI on jobs, or tensions over oil production and trade. The details may differ, but the pattern is not new. Fear rises, uncertainty lingers, and the temptation to question everything can be strong. Even so, history has shown that markets can endure disruption over time.
For example, a hypothetical $100 monthly investment in the S&P 500 Index starting in January 1980, with dividends reinvested, could have grown to roughly $1.4 million to $1.6 million by mid-2026. It’s a striking reminder that consistency and patience can be powerful, especially when headlines make staying invested feel difficult.
When it comes to your money, keeping your mantra “same as it ever was” can sometimes be a strength. I’m here to help you keep working toward the life you want to create. Enjoy!
Thank you,

On Uncertainty, Extremes, and Perspective
One easy way to spot AI in writing is through something called contrastive framing: it’s not x, it’s y. For example, “It’s not me, it’s you.” That formula can force ideas into opposition, and lately it mirrors the way many people are discussing world events.
More and more, topics are framed in extremes — danger or opportunity, loss or gain, human or machine. As conversations around the job market and the economy intensify, and for everyone from new graduates to retirees, those extremes can create an uneasy sense that the future is narrowing instead of opening.
Notice though, that’s scarcity at work. Scarcity shrinks your field of vision until all you can see is what might be lost. Abundance widens it again. It reminds you that uncertainty might be ahead, but it does not erase all the opportunities still in front of you.
If scarcity is showing up in your financial life lately, let’s talk. Summer 2026 gives us the longest possible stretch between Memorial Day and Labor Day, from May 25 to September 7 — a little extra room to reset, refocus, and make the most of what’s ahead. And I’m here to help you do exactly that.
Thank you,
David Osborne
