Dear Friends and Family,

Q1 2011 is behind us. Here’s a quick recap of consumer and economic trends:

• Consumer spending increased for the eighth straight month.
• Auto sales reached their highest levels since August 2009.
• Job creation is accelerating in several sectors.

Remember to file your taxes by April 18th this year (due to Emancipation Day in Washington, DC).

Contribution deadlines for Traditional and Roth IRAs also fall on April 18th.

Please contact us if you’re unsure about your 2010 contributions — we’re happy to help.

Sincerely,

Katz Family Financial
