The Affiance Financial Team’s Favorite Summertime Activities

It seems like during the summer, Minnesotans cannot keep themselves indoors. After the long and brutal winters, we want to squeeze every ounce of Vitamin D from the sun possible for the three to four months of warm weather permitted by our northern state. Whether it be on lakes, bike trails, or patios, Minnesota is bursting with activities to keep you busy.

If you couldn't make it to the Panel Discussion on Hobbies as Alternative Investments on May 12, 2016, or you did make it but want to experience the fun again, check out the recording!

Our top priority at Affiance Financial is making our clients’ lives better.
