Retiree Tips
COVID-19 is driving American workers into early retirement.
The pandemic has upended many people’s plans for retirement. While a large number of older workers lost their jobs this past year, others quit working due to health concerns or personal reasons. Now, rather than look for work in their 50s, 60s or beyond, people are rethinking their plans and retiring early. Before making a decision, it’s important to understand how early retirement can affect things like Social Security benefits, a 401(k) and your long-term financial security in general.

Cool Content
Here’s an app that could transform the way you read.
We’re looking to share with you recommendations from clients about what they’re reading, watching, listening to, or in this case, technology they’re enjoying. One client is recommending the Blinkist app, which gives you a new, fast way to learn and a handy research tool. Blinkist basically summarizes nonfiction works, so you can listen to or read the key ideas of a bestselling book in 15 minutes. Similarly, you can quickly get the main takeaways from a podcast by using what the app calls its “shortcasts.”
