As I look back at this year one can focus on so many things. The Cubs won the World Series, Social Security claiming options underwent dramatic changes, interest rates hit an all-time low before rising dramatically since the election, and many were surprised by the outcomes from November\\u2019s election (not just the presidency). The stock market dropped dramatically early in the year and then rallied to new all-time highs in December. We had the British vote to leave the European Union (Brexit) and now several other European countries are considering leaving the Union. There were Olympics in Rio that surprised many by going off without the major catastrophe that many were expecting. All in all, this was a year of extremes.
