🛠️ Happy Labor Day!
If you’re Gen X (50-55ish), you’ve clocked a lot of years on this “Labor” Day. Here’s your one weekend nudge: check your retirement plan.
✅ Turn on catch-up contributions (extra $ allowed in 401k/IRA after 50)
✅ Get a real number for what you’ll need
✅ Check your Social Security estimate
✅ Look hard at future healthcare costs
You’ve still got 10-15+ working years — plenty of runway to adjust course. Enjoy the holiday, but maybe give your future self 10 minutes too. 💪
Happy Labor Day — here’s to the work behind you, and the plan ahead.
