In the midst of Halloween week, today marks National Pumpkin Day. This favored gourd can be enjoyed in a variety of ways from recipes to craft ideas. There are many traditions revolving around pumpkins, like baking a pie with your family, or going to a pumpkin patch with your friends. 2020 has been challenging, but traditions give us new hope. A growing tradition that is upon us is the Thankful Pumpkin. The pumpkin showcases all the things you are thankful for. Our team collaborated on our own. Count your pumpkin seeds and blessings this season. Leave a comment and let us know what you are thankful for.

When it comes to saving for retirement, the earlier you start, the better. Giving your money more time to grow will help you benefit from compounding interest over time. Starting early can be the difference between retiring early or having to work longer than you intended.
