From our More than Money family to yours, we wish you the Merriest Christmas season and a healthy, happy, prosperous New Year.
You may be a client we serve in our offices, a listener to our radio show, a viewer of our PBS39 and BRC-TV13 tv shows, or a reader of our newsletter. Everyone at More than Money thanks you for your friendship, thoughts, and prayers this year. And we keep you in our thoughts and prayers continuously. You honor us by allowing us to serve you and those you love.
2023 has been a year of recovery for the markets, uncertainty for the economy, world unrest, and domestic disappointment. Yet we’ve continued to see demonstrations of determination, strength, and perseverance found in all real Americans. There is no doubt in my mind that brighter days are ahead.
And the Americans we know best – are you. You have shared stories of health challenges and recoveries. Stories of personal or spiritual challenges you’ve met with courage and faith. Financial challenges and concerns that together we’ve met head on and – most often – succeeded quite wonderfully. You are the best of the best.
You inspire us. Being the people you are, you stepped up in amazing ways to help us help those who need us. Some of those organizations are:
- Folds of Honor
- Laughing at My Nightmare
- The Children’s Home of Easton
- Holiday Hope Chests
- Center for Animal Health and Welfare
And many others…
We established our More than Money Foundation for American Values a number of years ago to ensure the values we stand for – the values that have made America the greatest nation in recorded history – will continue to receive our support for generations to come. Through our foundation, we support quality non-profits who serve four major areas:
- Our American Military, First Responders, and their families
- Children in need
- Animals in need
- Young Entrepreneurs learning the magic of capitalism
Our foundation is growing wonderfully and making a real impact. It’s because of you we do these things. It’s because you trust and support our efforts that we can all make a real difference. We invite all of you to join us.
And as long as More than Money and MtM Financial Group survives we will fight for you and for our shared American Values.
Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Words are Powerful Tools for American Freedom
Several years ago, I wrote my December newsletter to all of you and came to this segment sharing words as powerful tools for American freedom. At that time, I was (literally) inspired to see American freedom as directly tied to our personal freedom. And, of course, our personal freedom is directly connected to the blessings bestowed on us by our Creator. Hence the following words have been part of my Christmas message each year since. Merry Christmas and God bless you.
Christmas – A Time for Gifts!
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
Now that’s a gift. Ties are nice. Power tools are very cool. Jewelry may be a woman’s best friend. A great bottle of wine – delightful. Tickets to the State Theatre – always appreciated.
Eternal life – now that’s a gift! Joy to the World – indeed! Joy to you and me. How would you even wrap a gift this great? Why in swaddling clothes, of course!
Please allow us to serve you and those you love.
Thank you,
Gene
P.S. My favorite book, play, and movie of all time is Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve read the book, seen the show on stage, or watched one of the many movie versions (while the Muppets made a good enough run at it, the 1984 production with George C. Scott as Scrooge is – in my humble opinion – the very best).
Who can read, see, or hear of this story of pure redemption and not be deeply touched. All these years and the story’s end still brings my heart to my throat – and I thank God that it does.
We pray your heart will be full this Christmas and every day in the New Year.
