Five moves for young investors
If you’re just beginning your career, what are your financial priorities?
You might have student loans to deal with. And you may even be thinking about saving for a down payment on a house. These are certainly significant issues, and yet, you shouldn’t ignore your long-term goals, such as retirement — which is why you may want to get started as an investor.
And as you invest, consider these suggestions: 1. Take advantage of your opportunities. Even while addressing your other concerns, such as loan payments, you may well have space in your life to invest — if you take advantage of the opportunities presented to you. For example, if you work for a business that offers a 401(k) or other retirement plan, try to put in as much as you can afford, or at least enough to earn your employer’s matching contribution, if one is offered. And you may find that contributing to a traditional 401(k) or similar plan is more affordable than you think, as your contributions may be deductible, lowering your taxable income.
2. Think long-term. Some people make the mistake of seeking short-term gains by trying to “time” the market — that is, they try to “buy low and sell high.” While this is a great strategy in theory, it’s almost impossible to follow, as no one can really predict market highs and lows. The most successful investors follow a longterm strategy and don’t jump in and out of the market.
3. Know your risk tolerance. Your investment choices should be based partially on your risk tolerance. Typically, the more investment risk you take on, the greater the potential reward,
but it works the other way, too — riskier investments can result in greater losses, at least in the short term. You need to find a risk level with which you are comfortable. Also, your risk tolerance can change over time — when you get close to retirement, for instance, you might want to invest more conservatively than you did when you still had decades ahead of you in the working world.
4. Diversify your investments. The financial markets affect different investments in different ways, which means that, at any given time, some investments will perform better than others. But if you only owned one type of investment or asset class, your portfolio could suffer if a market downturn had a particularly strong effect on that investment or asset. By spreading your investment dollars among a range of investments, you’ll have more opportunities for success, and you can help reduce the effects of market volatility on your holdings. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee profits or protect against all losses.
5. Prepare for the unexpected. You don’t always know when you’ll face a large expense, such as a medical bill or a major home repair. If you’re not prepared, you could be forced to dip into your long-term investments, such as your 401(k), to pay for these costs. To help avoid this problem, you may want to take steps such as keeping a cushion of cash in your portfolio and building an emergency
fund containing several months’ worth of living expenses, with the money kept in a liquid account.
By putting these moves to work, you can help yourself make progress on an investment journey that could last a lifetime.
Local Entities Join To Present Tucson JCC Maccabi Games® World’s Largest In-Person Jewish Youth Sporting Event
FEB. 6, 2025 (TUCSON, AZ) – Seven Southern Arizona organizations and individuals have agreed to be joint presenting sponsors of the 2025 JCC Maccabi Games® hosted by the Tucson Jewish Community Center (Tucson J). The Games are expected to attract more than 1,000 visitors and contribute more than $4 million in economic impact to the region.
The presenting sponsors include the Diamond Foundation, Rancho Sahuarita, Jewish Philanthropies of Southern Arizona (JPSA), Lapan Sunshine Foundation, The Anne and David Hameroff Donor Advised Fund and two anonymous donors.
The weeklong Games will showcase an Olympic-style sports competition, including Maccabi Access for athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Another important component will include youth development and community-building to promote teamwork, leadership and lifelong friendships. Hundreds of coaches, delegation heads and spectators from around the country and the world will come to Tucson to compete in multiple venues across the city. Eighty to 100 local Jewish teens are expected to participate on Tucson’s team.
Donations to support this important community event are appreciated at any level. For more information contact Fran Katz, Tucson J Chief Development Director, at fkatz@tucsonjcc.org.
The Diamond Foundation has been making
generous grants to a wide range of important local causes for nearly 60 years.
Helaine Levy, President of the Diamond Foundation, said, “The Diamond Foundation values the Maccabi Games’ goal of bringing together Jewish youth for athletic competition, socializing, community service and camaraderie. Our family has had two members participate in past games and has hosted participants in our home. Jewish people around the world are facing challenging times and the Games are an opportunity to bring joy and lasting memories for the participants, their coaches and family members.”
Rancho Sahuarita, a successful planned community in Pima County, has a long appreciation for and history of building community.
“We are very proud to be supporting this year’s return of the Maccabi Games to Tucson,” said Jeremy Sharpe, Managing Partner for Rancho Sahuarita. “The Maccabi Games represents dedication, teamwork, community, and the importance of coming together for something greater. So much of that is reflected in what Rancho Sahuarita stands for, and so to be able to take part in this event and share the spirit behind the games with our greater community is a perfect fit.”
JPSA can trace its roots back to 1947 and a history filled with helping others in our Tucson community.
“We are thrilled to be a presenting sponsor of
the upcoming Tucson JCC Maccabi Games,” said Hava Leipzig Holzhauer, President and CEO of JPSA. “Having participated in the Maccabi Games as a teenager, as a parent, and as a host family, I know firsthand the incredible impact these games have on young Jews and the community-at-large. The JCC Maccabi Games are more than a competition—they are a celebration of Jewish pride, community, and connection. The friendships and memories formed here last a lifetime, and we are proud to play a part in fostering these experiences for the next generation”
2025 also is a big year for the Games at the Tucson J.
“The 2025 Maccabi Games also will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the last time Tucson hosted this exceptional event,” said Todd Rockoff, Tucson J President and CEO. “We are very proud that the J is the town square of our community and has served in that role for nearly 70 years. The Games offer a wonderful way for people of all faiths and interests to come together and applaud the sportsmanship and leadership of this youth event and to showcase this beautiful place we’re all blessed to call home. We welcome the community’s support. ”
There will be a significant need for local volunteers to put on the Games, Rockoff added, including coaching, logistics, and families to host the exceptional young athletes.

Distance: 1.1-mile loop
FEBRUARY 2025
March 8 - Mercury at Greatest Eastern Elongation. The planet Mercury reaches greatest eastern elongation of 18.2 degrees from the Sun. This is the best time to view Mercury since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the evening sky. Look for the planet low in the western sky just after sunset.
March 14 - Full Moon. The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be fully illuminated. This phase occurs at 06:56 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Worm Moon because this was the time of year when the ground would begin to soften and the earthworms would reappear. This moon has also been known as the Crow Moon, the Crust Moon, the Sap Moon, and the Lenten Moon.
March 14 - Total Lunar Eclipse. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes completely through the Earth's dark shadow, or umbra. During this type of eclipse, the Moon will gradually get darker and then take on a rusty or blood red color. The eclipse will be visible throughout all of North America, Mexico, Central America, and South America.
Elevation Gain: Minimal, with gentle slopes suitable for children
Trail Type: Easy loop with interpretive signs
Directions:
1. From Tucson, take I-10 East to Exit 275 for Houghton Road.
2. Turn left onto Houghton Road and continue for approximately 8 miles.
3. Turn left onto Old Spanish Trail and drive for about 3 miles to reach the Saguaro National Park East entrance.
4. After entering the park, follow the Cactus Forest Loop Drive to the Freeman Homestead Trailhead.
Enjoy your adventure on the Freeman Homestead Trail!
March 20 - March Equinox. The March equinox occurs at 08:58 UTC. The Sun will shine directly on the equator and there will be nearly equal amounts of day and night throughout the world. This is also the first day of spring (vernal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of fall (autumnal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere.
March 29 - New Moon. The Moon will be located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This phase occurs at 11:00 UTC. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.
March 29 - Partial Solar Eclipse. A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon covers only a part of the Sun, sometimes resembling a bite taken out of a cookie. A partial solar eclipse can only be safely observed with a special solar filter or by looking at the Sun's reflection. This partial eclipse will be visible throughout Greenland and most of northern Europe and northern Russia. It will be best seen from Canada with 93% coverage.
Find the Home of Your Dreams in Rancho Sahuarita’s
Newest Neighborhoods
Why Now is the Time to Buy
AS the housing market still may feel bit unnerving for some – with current interest rates levels and sustained lower resale inventory, new homes available from award-winning homebuilders in Rancho Sahuarita can still make the dream of homeownership a reality for those who seek it.
While buyers may remain uncertain of the financial commitment and whether the timing is right, there are still many reasons why buyers may find the opportunity to get into a home sooner rather than later.
In Rancho Sahuarita, resale home inventory has increased by 20% year over year, yet the average sales price of a resale home still increased by nearly 4%. Meanwhile in 2024, the average sales price of a new home was close to $360,000, while the average sales price for an existing home was closer to $350,000, representing just a 3% difference. This, coupled with special financing options* for qualified buyers offered by many of the new home builders to help make homes attainable, can often make them an even more attractive option for buyers in the market.
Here are a few more reminders of why 2025 is the right time to buy.
Investment in the Future
Owning a home is a sound investment in the future. Historically, real estate in general has
had stable growth in value over the long term. While dips in the housing market through tough economic times can at times cause a home to lose value, often the value is regained as the market improves and healthy conditions return.
With each payment on a mortgage and as your home increases in value, equity increases, setting the stage for financial stability. Additionally, the opportunity to refinance as rates adjust down the road remains for many, further enhancing the overall financial benefits of buying.
Convenience of Quick-Move-Ins and the Freedom of Choice
Many homebuilders are offering quick-movein options in their neighborhoods, allowing buyers the opportunity to get into a brand-new home sooner. And while this is a great option for some buyers, others may still desire the customization that comes with a new home built from the ground up. For these buyers, certain builders still offer buyers the choice to make selections from a wide range of design choices that fit their style and their budget.
Between the two new neighborhoods of Entrada Del Pueblo and Entrada La Coraza, Rancho Sahuarita currently offers new homes from 5 different builders, together offering 40 innovative floorplans to choose from ranging from 1289 to 2694 square feet, with 3 to 4+ bedroom options. A third new neighborhood,
Entrada Del Toro, will open in the coming months, adding further to the choices available for buyers to choose room.
New Homes Come with Energy Efficiency and Lack the Need for Repairs
New homes are also more energy efficient, with homebuilders in the community offering various features that improve air quality, reduce energy usage and more.
While resale homes may need repairs and upgrades, leading to increases in cost for owners, new homes offer comfort to buyers seeking to avoid those costs, and instead focus on finding the home that suits their preferences.
Being armed with the right tools and information can help make the decision to purchase easier and lead to greater peace of mind. The expert sales teams at each builder are available and ready with information and resources that can help buyers make the best choice for their unique situation.
For more information about any of the new home options available in Rancho Sahuarita, visit https://ranchosahuarita.com/find-yourhome/.
*Builder financing programs, incentives, and special offers, as well as terms, vary and are subject to change. Buyers should contact the individual homebuilders directly for the most up-to-date information and terms.

MARCH 2025
Pi Day: The Celebration of Mathematics and Infinite Possibilities
Pi Day, celebrated annually on March 14 (3/14), is a worldwide observance dedicated to the mathematical constant π (pi). The date was chosen because the first three digits of pi are 3.14, aligning with the American date format. Pi is one of the most fascinating numbers in mathematics, representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is an irrational number, meaning it has an infinite number of non-repeating decimal places. Pi Day has grown from a niche celebration among mathematicians to an international event that combines education, fun, and, of course, the indulgence of delicious pie.
The Origins of Pi Day Pi Day was first officially recognized in 1988 by physicist Larry Shaw at the Exploratorium, a science museum in San Francisco. Shaw, along with his colleagues, decided to mark the occasion by marching in a circular formation and eating fruit pies, playing on the word “pi” and its homophone “pie.” Over time, the tradition expanded, and Pi Day gained popularity among educators and students as a fun way to engage with math. In 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives officially designated March 14 as National Pi Day, recognizing its educational value in promoting mathematics and science.
The History of Pi: From Ancient Civilizations to Modern Science
The concept of pi dates back thousands of years, with some of the earliest approximations found in ancient Egypt and Babylon. Around 1650 BCE, Egyptian mathematicians recorded an approximation of pi as 3.1605 in the Rhind
Mathematical Papyrus. Meanwhile, Babylonian tablets estimated pi to be 3.125. The Greek mathematician Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BCE) was one of the first to rigorously calculate pi by using polygons to approximate the circumference of a circle, refining it to a value between 3.1408 and 3.1428. Later, Chinese mathematicians like Zu Chongzhi (429–500 CE) improved pi’s approximation to 3.1415926, which remained the most accurate value for nearly a millennium.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, pi became an essential component of calculus and trigonometry. Mathematicians such as Isaac Newton, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and Leonhard Euler contributed significantly to our understanding of pi through infinite series and continued fraction expansions. Euler, in particular, introduced the famous Euler’s identity involving pi:
eiπ+1=0e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0eiπ+1=0
which links the five most important numbers in mathematics: e, i, π, 1, and 0. This equation showcases pi’s fundamental role in advanced mathematical concepts, from complex numbers to quantum mechanics.
Pi in Modern Mathematics and Science
Today, pi is crucial in various fields of science, engineering, and technology. It is used in geometry, physics, astronomy, and even computer algorithms. NASA, for example, relies on pi for precise calculations when sending spacecraft to other planets. In cryptography, pi's randomness plays a role in secure encryption
DIY Spring Facial: Refresh & Rejuvenate Your Skin
As the seasons change, so should your skincare routine! Spring is the perfect time to refresh your skin after the harsh winter months. A DIY spring facial can hydrate, brighten, and restore balance, leaving your face glowing and ready for sunnier days. Below, we’ll explore the importance of key facial products and a simple yet effective DIY Spring Glow Facial recipe you can try at home.
Importance of Facial Products in a DIY Facial Gentle Cleanser – A mild, natural cleanser removes dirt, excess oil, and impurities without stripping the skin of essential moisture. A good cleanser preps the face for better absorption of nutrients.
Exfoliant (Scrub or Enzyme-Based) – Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin. Using ingredients like oatmeal, sugar, or fruit enzymes brightens dull skin and improves texture.
Hydrating Mask – A nourishing mask replenishes lost moisture, leaving the skin soft and dewy. Ingredients like honey, yogurt, and aloe vera provide hydration and soothing effects.
Toner – A natural toner helps balance the skin’s pH, tighten pores, and refresh the complexion. Using rose water, green tea, or witch hazel helps reduce redness and inflammation.
Moisturizer or Facial Oil – Locking in hydration is essential after a facial. A lightweight oil or moisturizer with jojoba, argan, or coconut oil keeps skin supple and prevents dryness.
DIY Spring Glow Facial Recipe
Step 1: Gentle Cleanser
Mix 1 tbsp raw honey with ½ tsp aloe vera gel. Massage onto damp skin in circular motions, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Step 2: Brightening Exfoliant
systems. Supercomputers continue to push the boundaries of pi’s known decimal places— currently extending to over 100 trillion digits. While practical applications only require a few dozen digits, the pursuit of pi’s expansion remains a mathematical challenge and a testament to human curiosity.
How Pi Day is Celebrated
Pi Day celebrations range from educational activities to quirky traditions. Schools and universities host math competitions, pi recitation contests, and lessons on the history of pi. Many people enjoy baking and eating pie, embracing the pun between the mathematical pi and the delicious dessert. In some places, Pi Day includes public events such as math festivals, lectures, and even Pi Day weddings (for true math lovers!).
The Exploratorium, where Pi Day originated, continues to hold an annual celebration featuring hands-on math activities and scientific demonstrations.
The Legacy of Pi Day
Pi Day is more than just a fun celebration— it serves as a reminder of the importance of mathematics in everyday life. By engaging people of all ages in math-related activities, Pi Day fosters a deeper appreciation for problemsolving, critical thinking, and innovation. It also inspires young minds to explore careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). As pi continues to captivate mathematicians and scientists worldwide, its legacy lives on through Pi Day, ensuring that the infinite mysteries of 3.14159... remain a source of wonder for generations to come.

Step 3: Hydrating Mask
Mash ¼ avocado and mix with 1 tsp honey and 1 tbsp yogurt. Apply evenly to your face and leave for 10-15 minutes before rinsing.
Step 4: Refreshing Toner
Spritz rose water or apply chilled green tea with a cotton pad to balance the skin.
Step 5: Nourishing Moisturizer
