#YeahTHATAgenda: The Carolina Panthers' Economic Impact, PIQUE Pics, GSP's Future, 3 New Restaurants, SC Boeing Safety Concerns, Bee Spit Glue

With South Carolina leaders wanting to offer the Carolina Panthers financial incentives to move their HQ to Rock Hill, it's a good time to ask: "What is the economic impact of the team?"
According to a University of South Carolina study, the Panthers had an annual impact of $636 million, with $512 million going to its home base in Mecklenburg County—and those were just the figures from 2012, a few years before Cam Newton took the team to the Super Bowl and finished the season with a 15-1 record.

According to a University of South Carolina study, the Panthers had an annual impact of $636 million, with $512 million going to its home base in Mecklenburg County—and those were just the figures from 2012, a few years before Cam Newton took the team to the Super Bowl and finished the season with a 15-1 record.
Closer to home—and more recently—the Panthers’ summer training camp at Wofford had a reported economic impact of $13.24 million. That said, conventional wisdom suggests that if the team moves its HQ and facilities to South Carolina—again, Rock Hill with its short 20-minute drive from the Queen City seems to be a lock—they’ll likely be saying goodbye to the home of the Terriers and Spartanburg will be saying goodbye to good money.

Talking about finances can be overwhelming, so as a financial advisor, I simplify the conversation to help my clients see financial blind spots and anticipate big life changes, like starting a family.
My wife Candace and I are expecting our first child in September. With the excitement of expecting, it’s easy to forget personal and long-term goals and get carried away in the excitement.
As a financial advisor for the last 10 years, I remind expecting parents to start or build up their emergency fund and have six months of living expenses set aside to cover additional expenses that come with a newborn. New parents will need money to help subsidize lost income from maternity or paternity leave, purchase expensive baby essentials, and cover medical expenses. I also remind couples to keep funding their retirement at the highest level possible so their children aren’t worried about how to care for them as they age.
Times like these make my job as a financial advisor rewarding, especially when families decide to make smart financial decisions about parenthood before diaper changes and middle-of-the-night feedings start. I’m as ready as I will ever be for this new chapter of my life.
