Summertime! … and the livin’ is easy … we wish you this refrain as an earworm and a state of being as we make our way to the end of August. Grab your cold (root)beer and sidle up. We’re going to put a few things in your backpack as you get ready for fall.

Happy 250th! We hope your celebrations have been wonderful. Summer is in full swing, and we’re taking a moment to enjoy the season with an iced Wilds Now Craft Instant Coffee (Voyager Blend) and a splash of cream. Grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and enjoy this month’s newsletter.

Summer is in full swing, so grab an orange marmalade slushy and take a breather. This week, Jack VanDerhei weighs in on the Saver’s Match, we check the latest state auto IRA action, and explore the connection between retirement security, Social Security, and babies.
