Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Tuesday, July 9th. Okay, now that you got your big

vacation Yayas out. I know so many people took last week off. I thought it was time for us to actually discuss the fact that half of the year is over.

It's incredible and what a run in the stock market.

Just hard to believe when you see these kinds of numbers, especially

after last year. Last year was a great year for stocks. I know the previous year was a stinky

one. But the S&P 500 is up almost 15% in the first half of the year.

And yes, I know that 60% of the gain is driven by just five stocks in the first half of the

year, Invidia and Microsoft and Amazon and Meta and Apple.

I know all of that.

But isn't it more fun to control the things

that you can control, like the to-do's that you may want to check off your list for this first half of

the year or as we enter the second half of the year and so I thought that this might be

a good time to remind you that if you've gotten a few

things off the financial to-do's of your resolution list and now you're ready to

really tackle something else and you need our help, go to our website,

Jill on money.com, click the contact us button and write us a note.

And if you want to come on the air, check the box, Mark will get you on the air with us.

And don't forget while you're on the website,

sign up for the free weekly newsletter,

and subscribe to our service Jill on Money Live.

That's where you have access to quarterly live webinars and cool bonus video content that we put behind the paywall.

If you don't want to, that's fine too. There's a lot of free stuff there, so enjoy.
