Wedding planning gets a lot of attention. Tax planning after the wedding? Not so much. 😄

Here's the thing about financial planning - it's not a one and done kind of thing.

Life changes. Goals shift. And October's National Financial Planning Month is a great reminder to make sure your plan is keeping up.

If you've been meaning to revisit yours, our team would love to help. 🙌

Life has a way of knocking you down when you least expect it. 😄

Just ask Grace.

At the Corvallis Knights game last month, Grace and Jay took on the bubble jousting contest - and Grace can confirm that unexpected expenses, market volatility, and inflatable collisions hit harder than you'd think.

Good thing a solid financial plan keeps you on your feet.

We promise she's okay. Mostly. 😄

Life insurance isn't the most comfortable thing to think about. But not having it when you need it? That's so much harder.

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month - and in this week's Financial Tip Friday, Brady Sahnow shares a simple but important reminder: check in with your family, make sure everyone is protected, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

We're always here to help!

Meet Keith Dragoo - the founder of Dragoo Financial Group and the heart behind everything we do.

Keith has been with Northwestern Mutual since 1983, building not just a practice but a legacy rooted in genuine relationships, deep community ties, and a belief that wealth is about so much more than money.

When you ask Keith what he loves most about his work, he'll tell you it's listening to clients' goals and watching them get excited about what's possible - because wealth, in his eyes, is measured in many ways.

Outside the office you'll find him on the golf course, on the ski slopes, or - his favorite - making memories with his grandkids in Sunriver. Oh, and he once met Johnny Cash. 🎸

We're so grateful to work alongside someone who leads with this much heart every single day.

Can’t say enough about this great organization!

Some of the most meaningful things about where we live and work are the people and cultures that shape it.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate exactly that - the rich traditions, stories, and contributions of the Hispanic and Latino community that make our country and our corner of Oregon so vibrant.

One year ago, Jay Salgado stepped into his full-time role at Dragoo Financial Group - and what a year it's been.

Jay first joined our team straight out of university, bringing fresh energy, a genuine desire to learn, and a whole lot of heart. Watching him grow into his role as Associate Financial Representative has been something we're really proud of.

Jay shows up every day with dedication, curiosity, and a commitment to the clients and team around him that doesn't go unnoticed.

Happy 1-year full-time anniversary, Jay - we're so glad you're here! 🎉

Investing in our team is one of the best things we can do for our clients.

Kara, Tiffany, and Brady recently traveled to Dallas for the ClientWise LLC Workshop - a few days dedicated to strengthening how we work, refining our processes, and finding new ways to show up even better for the people we serve.

We never stop looking for ways to grow. Because our clients deserve nothing less.
