National Retirement Security Month

Gayle Evezich — October is my favorite month of the year. The air is warm and crisp at the same time, fall flowers are blooming, leaves are turning, and the air has a special feel to it. It doesn’t hurt that Halloween is in October too!There’s another big thing to celebrate in October - National Retirement Security Month! This special month was first designated in 2006 with the hope of encouraging employees nationwide to perform checks on their retirement savings and make sure they’re on target to reach their retirement goals. This is especially important this year due to Covid-19 impacts on the markets and possibly your investments.What better time than the present to do a quick check on your retirement savings efforts? Are you saving enough to reach your retirement goals? Maybe we should even back up a bit and ask if you have retirement goals? If you don’t have a goal, then you don’t know what you need to do to meet that goal.
