Update from the IFS Team
Dear Friends,
We hope this update finds you well and enjoying a slower summer pace, wherever that may be! 
The second quarter of 2022 is in the books, and for most of the investment world (except for oil and gas!), it was a rough period of declines. We’ve included a link to a quarterly economic summary and a great story that reminds us of the power of time and patience when investing. We also included an article on some factors that lead to happiness in old age and a few ideas for fun activities in the area for our Portland clients (which can also lead to happiness ).
Thank you for the continued privilege of partnering with you on your financial journey,
The IFS Team
