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.

This week we’re sitting down with Karen Andres and KC Boas from the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program to explore what’s ahead for all things inclusive saving and investing. We cover some ground: Trump Accounts, the 2027 Saver’s Match rollout, and fresh thinking about financial diaries. Their take? America’s retirement system has some unfinished business.
