Resolutions and Responsibilities

Helping employers with retirement plan administration, fiduciary oversight, and employee education for a flat fee.
January sweeps in with new commitments, new promises, and hopeful resolutions. To eat better, drink less, work out more, focus on family & make plans for some happy memory-making. By January 15th, our resolutions are waning and by February 1st, most are forgotten. Making resolutions always seems like a good idea to embrace the new year, but tend to fall flat if responsibility and commitment are not part of the plan.
The same goes for retirement planning. Often, employees will say ‘next year’ I am going to make a plan to review my account, shore up my investments, increase my contributions and meet with a planner. Year after year, this gets added to the ‘resolution list’, but life gets in the way, and planning for retirement takes a back seat.
Here are a couple of ‘quick fixes’ to help get you back on track in 2025:
? You may need to adjust your current investment allocation according to the results.
? You may also set your investment allocation to rebalance automatically to make managing your accounts easier.
January 1, 2025, is your opportunity to make retirement planning resolutions and keep them! Your employer is offering you a Plan that allows for a systematic process for saving. Participating is your responsibility. If you need an accountability partner, go to: www.401ktime.com and ‘CONTACT US’. We can help get you back on track.
Happy New Year! Kerstin Driscoll-Witt
