Month: October 2022

We are in that time of year when companies start releasing new benefits packages, and open enrollment is almost here. As you look through your new employee book provided by your HR department, you probably see things like additional 401(k) options, accidental death & dismemberment (yikes!) insurance, life insurance, supplemental life insurance, short term/long term disability coverage, along with all sorts of other acronyms you may or may not have any idea what they stand for.

Seems like everything is transitioning right now, whether it’s changes in the weather, changes in the sports being played or teams we watch and root for, or the shift from anticipating the excitement of Keeneland and the upcoming Breeders Cup to savoring the memories we made. We spent a lot of time at Keeneland meeting people and enjoying our community, but now it’s back to the desk full-time – and we truly think change is good. Of course the emptying of the grandstand at Keeneland gave way to the excitement over trick-or-treating!

It shouldn’t come as a shock when I say it is very common for people to job-hop during their 20s and into their 30s before they settle into a long-term position. Typically, people change jobs to gain new experiences, obtain a better title, or for more pay. While these are all very good reasons that, in the long run, should be positives in our financial lives, changing jobs too often can come with a cost.

I recently walked into a big box retailer which shall remain unnamed, and lo and behold, encountered the first Christmas decorations of the season. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas. I’m a big kid at heart after all. But I can’t possibly get into Christmas now when I haven’t bought my Halloween candy!
