April, which means “to open,” in Latin, is considered the month of growing: when flowers and trees begin to bloom or open up.

It is also believed that the month’s name is after the Greek goddess, Aphrodite.

Through the years

The first battle of the Revolutionary War at Lexington and Concord broke out.

George Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the United States.

After a 1500 year hiatus, the first Olympics of the modern era took place in Athens.

See actual footage from the games here.

Titanic hit an iceberg and sank on her first and only voyage.

Ford unveiled their first Mustang, costing $2368. Watch the evolution of the Mustang here.

The explosion of the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant in Ukraine occurred and forced everyone in a 300 mile radius to evacuate.

Apollo 13 was launched and ran into difficulties about two days later. “Houston, we’ve had a problem here” was said and is usually misquoted today. Check out where the capsule is housed here.

In the Southern Hemisphere, April is the equivalent to October.

April originally only had 29 days, but a 30th was added when Julius Caesar established the Julian calendar.

Have you talked to your financial advisor?

During these uncertain times, it is important to keep your long-term financial goals in mind. Consider acting on the following: 1. Revisit the question “Am I on the right track?”

2. Evaluate your true risk tolerance. Has the recent downturn worried you about your current asset allocation?

3. When was the last time you updated your investment/retirement/estate plan?

4. Learn what The CARES Act entails (ex. Required Minimum Distribution waived for 2020.)

5. Create a game plan for what happens if the Emergency reserve runs dry.

Now may be the perfect time to call one of our financial advisors to make sure you are on track to reaching your long-term goals!
