We’re launching the RSM Ocean Series, exploring new possibilities in retirement security. This issue features AARP’s David John on Auto IRA Plus, a snapshot of State Auto IRAs, two proposals side by side, and Pics of the Week.

Happy Holidays! As 2026 approaches, let’s pause before hitting fast-forward. We’ve rounded up a great mix for you today—three juicy deep dives, a handful of quick reads, and some fun photos to close it out.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, grab a cocoa and join us by the (imaginary) cabin fire for a quick dose of smart fun. We’ve got Michael Kreps on 2025’s Quiet Retirement Revolution, a State Auto IRA check-in, news highlights, insights from the road, a few spicy takes, and—naturally—our Pix of the Week.
