Scary September or Better than Expected?
This week on Random Gleanings, Jesse Hansford & Chris Beard take another swing at sharing a planning topic, discussing some current market fodder, and sharing a recommendation or two in an effort to educate, inform and entertain, you our faithful viewer.
For Planning this week, the guys tackle rule changes announced (and already delayed) for Catch-up contributions to 401(k)s. The Markets discussion entails some thoughts on the historical seasonal difficulty for stocks in September… except maybe when a year like this year has transpired. And for Recommendations, it’s football season, but was a ROUGH start for college teams in South Carolina… so maybe watch a football documentary like Jesse did.
We hope you’ll share with us if you have a question or comment from watching (youtube.com/@proplanwealth) or reading our Random Gleanings. Better yet, if you think it would benefit a friend, please pass it along!
THANKS!

For the planning topic this week, Chris introduces/reminds viewers of the tremendous benefit of the South Carolina Future Scholar 529 College Savings Plan.

The Bull that Broke the Bear's Back???
A week away from recording Random Gleanings had us thinking about a slight format change, which we hope you will appreciate. Moving forward, our goal will be to provide a Financial Planning or actionable related topic, offer current market/economic thoughts from our daily research, and share a recommendation or two on things we’ve been reading, watching, or entertained by in the prior week. We start this week with some SECURE Act 2.0 RMD changes, hit on the challenging market environment of the last 20 months, and finish with some streaming recommendations from both Chris Beard and Jesse Hansford, which coincidentally are both sports related.
