Have you checked on your emergency fund lately?

If you're asking "what emergency fund?" That's a sign!

Think of it as the cushion that keeps life's surprises (a car repair, a medical bill, a job change) from derailing your bigger goals. A common starting point is three to six months of essential expenses, kept safe and easy to reach.

Better to build it before you need it.

If you’re an executive with stock options, here’s something to know about ISOs and AMT.

Exercising incentive stock options (ISOs) generally doesn’t create regular taxable income at exercise, but the spread between the exercise price and fair market value can trigger the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

That makes timing important. Before exercising a large number of ISOs, consider how the decision could affect your overall tax picture, not just this year, but in the years ahead.

Guess whose birthday it is today? It’s Kim Donohue’s!

Kim has had quite the month, celebrating her 10-year anniversary with FSA Wealth Partners earlier in September and now her birthday!

A fun fact about Kim: She collects tree frogs. 🐸 She fell in love with them about 25 years ago while teaching her daughter’s Vacation Bible School class, where tree frogs were the class theme.

Happy Birthday, Kim! We hope you have a wonderful day celebrating!

TSP vs IRA: Understanding Creditor Protection Before You Roll Over

Before moving money from a Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) into an IRA, it’s important to understand how creditor protection can change. The TSP receives strong federal protections, while IRA protections can vary depending on state laws and circumstances. Learn why this often-overlooked factor may matter when making a retirement rollover decision.

Parents and grandparents who want to give a child’s college savings a head start may want to know about 529 superfunding.

Here’s how it works:

• You can contribute up to five years’ worth of annual gift-tax exclusions to a 529 plan at once and elect to spread the gift over five years for federal gift-tax purposes.

• In 2026, the annual gift-tax exclusion is $19,000 per recipient, so that can mean up to $95,000 per beneficiary from one individual.

• A married couple could potentially contribute up to $190,000 for one beneficiary, assuming each spouse makes the election and other gift-tax rules are satisfied.

• Putting more into the account earlier gives those dollars more time to potentially grow tax-free when used for qualified education expenses.

What’s the Magnificent 7?

It’s a group of seven mega-cap companies largely technology-focused that make up a significant portion of the S&P 500. That concentration means their performance can have an outsized impact on the index and potentially your portfolio.

Let’s talk about diversification and what it means for your retirement plan.
