The February 3 article, written by Personal Trust Officer [Connor Hurley](https://giftcard.news/person/connor-hurley/), sets out a sequence from everyday budgeting to longer-term financial decisions. Hurley starts with understanding income and spending, then setting aside emergency savings. The guide presents three to six months of expenses as a starting point for discussing that reserve, while identifying concrete goals such as retirement, a home purchase, education costs or debt repayment. Gifting appears within the review of an investment approach. Hurley recommends examining contributions, asset allocation, taxes and gifting strategies together, so that decisions reflect both short- and long-term goals. He also lists different account types that a financial adviser can discuss in relation to the individual’s circumstances. The article separately addresses employer benefits, including understanding the available package and revisiting retirement contributions. It pairs that review with checking insurance coverage as family circumstances, assets or other needs change. For estate planning, Hurley identifies wills, trusts, beneficiary designations and powers of attorney as documents or arrangements to revisit. This is presented as part of clarifying how a person intends to pass on money and ensuring their plans remain current. The guide recommends specific goals that can be tracked through the year, with regular reviews and accountability from a spouse, friend or adviser. Its focus is financial planning guidance, including the role of gifts within a broader plan. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Getting ahead financially: Steps to accomplish your 2026 money resolutions](https://www.fnbsf.com/blog/simple-steps-to-accomplish-your-2026-money-resolutions/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — fnbsf.com ## In this article ### Companies * [First National Bank in Sioux Falls](https://giftcard.news/company/first-national-bank-in-sioux-falls/) ### People * [Connor Hurley](https://giftcard.news/person/connor-hurley/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fresearch-trends%2Ffnbsf-provides-financial-guidance-for-accomplishing-2026-money-resolutio-51e01891611d%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=First%20National%20Bank%20in%20Sioux%20Falls%20Covers%20Gifting%20in%20Financial%20Planning "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fresearch-trends%2Ffnbsf-provides-financial-guidance-for-accomplishing-2026-money-resolutio-51e01891611d%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=First%20National%20Bank%20in%20Sioux%20Falls%20Covers%20Gifting%20in%20Financial%20Planning%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fresearch-trends%2Ffnbsf-provides-financial-guidance-for-accomplishing-2026-money-resolutio-51e01891611d%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Daniel Brooks](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/daniel-brooks-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Daniel Brooks](https://giftcard.news/author/daniel-brooks/) Journalist — Payments, Security & PCI DSS Daniel Brooks covers payment networks, financial technology, payment security, gift card fraud and PCI DSS for Gift Card News.
