With Fathers Day this weekend, and a whole new crop
of high school and college graduates, why not give a
gift that will have an impact on the personal
finances of the Dads and grads in your life? Instead
of the traditional necktie for Dad or a watch,
jewelry or other accessory for the grad, why not
contribute to an IRA or mutual fund account for
them? Or how about a financial planning consultation
that could address an issue like retirement planning
for Dad, or managing educational loan debt for the
college grad? To learn more about mutual funds and
investing, check out www.morningstar.com. To get a
referral for a financial planner in your local area,
you can call the Financial Planning Association of
Massachusetts toll-free referral line at
