Monthly Tips
May 2025
TIP 1 Mother’s Day
We always try to show appreciation toward our mothers and grandmothers, but some days more than others. Mother’s Day is coming up on the 11th and is a great opportunity to demonstrate our affection and respect. Whether it’s food-oriented breakfast in bed or brunch or spending some time together either in person or on a phone call, planning ahead is a great idea to ensure everything is all set and ready to go. For some local events in NJ, check out this article from NJFamily.com.
We hope everyone has a great Mother’s Day, and our mothers and grandmothers feel as extraordinary as they are.

TIP 2 Emotional Investing In Volatile Times
The size, speed, and frequency of shifts in the market this year have been enough to make many investors reel, and reeling from the markets tends to shift a person away from their standard decision making into emotional decision making. Emotional investing may not be a new idea, yet the associated feeling still feels new to many of us any time they happen.

TIP 4 Memorial Day
Did you know that in 2000 Congress designated a National Moment of Remembrance at 3:00pm on Memorial Day? Every American is asked to observe one minute of silence to remember and honor all of those who have died in military service to our country. According to Wallethub, as of last year 656,000 members of the armed military have lost their lives in conflict.
At Garden State Trust Company we extend our heartfelt appreciation to current and past members of the military and continue to treasure those that made the ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us can enjoy this great country. We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend.
