Say hello to our newest Financial Planning & Operations Intern: Austin Barabas!

Austin is completing the first half of the internship during his final semester at the University of Wyoming. Come January, he'll be a familiar face at our Gillette office!

Students and young professionals in Wyoming have limited access to quality training and careers in finance. We built this internship program with support from the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services to help correct that.

Welcome to the team, Austin!

Tips for Throwing Your First National Financial Planning Month Party

1. Update your guest list— Check the beneficiaries on your retirement accounts, life insurance policies, and other accounts.

2. Double check your budget— Take 15 minutes to review your household spending, savings, and any upcoming major expenses.

3. Set something aside for next year's celebration— Review your retirement contributions and savings goals. Are you on track to make next year even better?

4. Don't forget to invite your financial planner! If it's been a while since your last planning meeting, get in touch. We promise not to bring a slideshow to the party. Probably.

How many people does it take to cut a ribbon?
Not as many as it takes to eat the feast Sarah Pierce made.

Thanks again to everyone who came out to celebrate our new Gillette office space and seven years in business! If you couldn't make it to the celebration, you're welcome to stop in anytime.

What's better than finding $20 in your coat pocket? Finding half a million dollars in forgotten 401(k) accounts.

A lot of businesses automatically enroll employees in their 401(k), but when an employee leaves, that 401(k) account doesn't automatically go with them. We've had clients find six figure amounts in lost and forgotten 401(k) accounts from past employers.

That won't be everyone's experience, but it's still worth figuring out if any lost or forgotten 401(k) accounts have your name on them.

You can start by calling your past employers or searching the Department of Labor's new Retirement Savings Lost and Found Database: https://lostandfound.dol.gov/

If you do find funds in an old retirement account and you aren't sure what the next step is, we can help.

A lot of folks who are retiring soon ask how much money they need to have to safely retire. That's the wrong question.

We start with these three considerations instead:
1. Cash flow (not money sitting in accounts)
2. Tax efficiency
3. Long-term care planning

Smart, proactive planning can help you retire feeling confident that you're ready for the next stage of your life.

If you're thinking about retirement and feeling unsure if your financial plan is ready for it, get in touch. We'll take a look at your current plan and walk you through your options so you can make an informed decision about what comes next.
