July places us squarely in the heart of summer—a season of sunshine, warmth, and well-deserved vacations. Yet even as many people rest and recharge, MMBB remains steadfast in our efforts to provide you with timely, relevant information in support of your financial journey.
As we walk with you on your path to financial wellness, this month’s edition of Tomorrow explores a range of topics designed to inform and empower. We begin with “The Myths Behind the Housing Allowance,” which clarifies common misconceptions and offers practical insights. In Part 2 of our series, “Protecting Yourself from Real Estate Fraud,” we focus on identifying and avoiding mortgage and foreclosure-relief scams, as well as deed theft.
As more retirees consider rejoining the workforce, “The Best Jobs for People Who Want to Unretire” highlights flexible, fulfilling opportunities for older adults seeking activity or supplemental income. We also examine the powerful connection between money and mental health in “The Relationship Between Financial and Mental Wellness,” offering guidance on how to break the cycle of stress and financial insecurity. Finally, “Estate Planning: Should I Use an App or a Lawyer?” weighs the pros and cons of digital tools versus professional legal advice.
Since many of us are spending more time outdoors this season, I leave you with a verse that invites reflection:
“But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform you.
Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?”
— Job 12:7–9 (NIV)
This passage reminds us to pause and observe the natural world and to celebrate God’s hand in creation. In our fast-paced, digital lives, nature offers a quiet testimony of God’s presence and power—teaching us humility, wonder, and trust in the Lord’s divine order.
Enjoy the beauty of the earth God has gifted us.
In Christ,
Louis
