August; time for a check up
Back to school is often a very busy time for many families. A quick tune up on your finances may pay great dividends later with a few steps now. Here are a few suggestions:
- As you get your kids ready to go back to school; have you checked their 529 accounts? Here’s a great article if you are looking for more information. We are happy to discuss whether a 529 account makes sense for you.

- Have you checked your 401k contributions for the year? It’s a good rule of thumb to contribute at least to the company match in your 401k. The limit for employee contributions in 2023 is $22,500, with a catch up over 50 of an additional $7500.

- Economic pundits frequently debate the arrival of recessions. Regardless of the accuracy or inaccuracy of those predictions, it’s always a great idea to have an emergency reserve of at least 6 months.
Have any questions? We’d love to talk!
