The Fun Resolutions

The calendar has turned over and I am sure we each reached saturation on making resolutions and hearing about other people’s resolutions. I do not want to bore you with what those of us at Reason Financial have decided are our personal goals in regards to the big three of fitness, food and financial.

We do want to take the time to share what we are calling our San Diego County Resolutions. The idea is that there is at least one activity in this beautiful county of ours which we have said we will do for years now, but have never done. That ends in 2019.

No longer will we fall prey to the same old thing when it comes to deciding what to do with our downtime. So here starts our list – The Reason Financial San Diego County 2019 Resolutions list.

The San Diego Zoo Safari Park – Usually out of town visitors are the impetus to get out to the Safari Park. Don’t let that continue to be the case, especially with their new exhibits.

The Ramona Wineries – We all know about our Temecula wineries, but Ramona is holding its own. Go off the beaten path and head out to the up and coming Ramona area. https://www.ramonavalleyvineyards.com/

Hike to Potato Chip Rock – One of the most photographed spots in San Diego County is the photogenic remainders of a massive granite outcropping making for a popular and enjoyable hike. This is a well-traveled hike up Mt. Woodson, so be prepared for a line when it is your turn to take a picture. Better yet, get there early and beat the crowds.

The Carlsbad Flower Fields – A friendly (and colorful) reminder that we live in an incredible geographic region where just about anything can grow in abundance. These fields are open from March 1^st through May 12^th, so you want to jump on this one early. https://www.theflowerfields.com/plan-your-trip/

Hike low tide from La Jolla Shores to Torrey Pines State Beach – This is an ambitious undertaking providing a true San Diego beach experience.

Three Sisters Waterfall hike – This east county hike to one of our local seasonal waterfalls has been called one of the premier waterfalls in Southern California, when it is flowing. Some research at the front end is required to make sure you understand the best time to head out there and to gauge the various challenges of the hike. There are some great videos online which prior hikers have made.

So there you have it. A smattering of the San Diego County Resolutions being made by Reason Financial staff. If you have decided that 2019 is finally the year you check something off your local activity bucket list, we would love to hear about. We also would not mind if you help hold us accountable the next time you talk to us and ask about which adventures we have tackled and taken off the list.

Cheers to a happy, prosperous and adventurous 2019!

Additional risks are associated with international investing, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic instability and differences in accounting standards.

Investing in securities in emerging markets involves special risks due to specific factors such as increased volatility, currency fluctuations and differences in auditing and other financial standards. Securities in emerging markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

An index is a statistical measure of change in an economy or a securities market. In the case of financial markets, an index is an imaginary portfolio of securities representing a particular market or a portion of it. Each index has its own calculation methodology and is usually expressed in terms of a change from a base value. Thus, the percentage change is more important than the actual numeric value. An investment cannot be made directly into an index.

Investing in fixed income securities involves credit and interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Investing in commodities may involve greater volatility and is not suitable for all investors. Investing in a non-diversified fund that concentrates holdings into fewer securities or industries involves greater risk than investing in a more diversified fund. The equity securities of small companies may not be traded as often as equity securities of large companies so they may be difficult or impossible to sell. Neither diversification nor asset allocation assure a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets. Past performance is not an indicator of future results.
