We love October. Yes, it gives us an excuse to go overboard with house deco and candy. Anddddd, it's also #NationalRetirementSecurityMonth here in the US. Clearly at RSM this is “our” national holiday. Just saying. This month is dedicated to spreading awareness about the significance of saving for retirement. So, let's rally on the hashtag, grab a pumpkin beer or pumpkin spice, and get on with it:

• The 4 E’s you say? with Peter Thompson and RetirePath Virginia

• Frrreshhh state metrics … where are we now

• Updates from Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey and New York

• We mashup nesting shore birds and … retirement savings innovation 🐦

• Wisdom from the wild cliffs of Maui

• Hot Sauce! and some cooool stuff, and

• … PIX of the Week!

♥️ It’s the season of love and affection, which means … pampering. We hope you have a lovely, fun-filled celebration. As you spread some joy, let us help you catch up on the world of retirement security. Grab some sweet and savory chocolates and nestle in. You’ve earned it!

Just before the holidays (and SECURE 2.0) we had the pleasure of chatting with Asso Yankson, Senior Manager, Retirement Consulting at Ernst & Young LLP (EY). We love this conversation both for its insights, and for the way EY and Yankson have worked together to create a role that is both difference-making, and supportive of working parenting. Read on to see how this works.
