Retirement Resources President and Investment Advisor, Dave Boike, gives a brief overview of how the Dog Days of Summer got the name and suggests staying inside out of the sweltering heat to review financial plans and goals.

Auburn Hills, MI — August 16, 2019— Dave Boike, President of Retirement Resources and co-author of The Ultimate Success Guide with Brian Tracy published a new blog post on the company website entitled, “Put The Dog Days Of Summer To Good Use,” in which Mr. Boike suggests a review of financial plans and goals.

Boike writes, “For those of you who don’t know, the Dog Days of Summer refer to the hottest days of the year between mid-July to late August.” He further elaborates, “They get their name from the Greeks and Romans who were inspired by the Dog Star, Sirius, the brightest star in the Canis Major constellation. According to Wikipedia, “This period of time was historically connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs and bad luck.” “More recently,” says Boike, “it simply refers to the hottest, most uncomfortable part of the summer.”

According to Boike, “We are without question in the Dog Days of Summer.” He continues, “During this, the hottest, most lethargic time of the year, with mid-day scorching temperatures it may be more productive to stay indoors, relax and review your financial goals and plans.”

“For instance,” he asks, “how’s your emergency fund? Have you had to draw on it recently? If so, have you refunded it?” He goes on to add, “If not, you can make a plan to restock so you are secure for any other emergency that may arise.”
