According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American stays at a job for 4.1 years. This means that by the time you reach your 50s and beyond, you might have #retirement accounts in several different places. Whether you’ve accumulated retirement accounts from previous employers, brokerage accounts, or various investment portfolios, having these accounts scattered can create unnecessary complexity as you head into the next phase of life.

Read today’s blog where we dive into some strategies on how you can do this! https://bit.ly/40fwBb1 #financialplanning #retirementplanning
