Things are heating up. Our financial planning tips and insight might be too hot to handle but are guaranteed to have you fired up and ready for your retirement future!

Summer days, sunshine rays. When you think about it, many of the words synonymous with summer begin with ‘S’ -- sunscreen, shorts, swimsuit, sizzle, and savings all put the ‘S’ in summer. Wait, savings?! Yes, you read that right, even summer suggests savings, in ways you may not think of at first.

Summertime is the perfect time to tap into those funds you’ve saved up over the colder months -- it’s your reward for budgeting and planning ahead for sunny opportunities. Whether you’re planning a relaxing family getaway, rocking in the crowd at your favorite artist’s concert, attending a summer festival or fair, or simply spending your days poolside with friends, there’s no season like summer to treat yourself and enjoy the fruits of your labor and sacrifice. But while sunny days and warm weather can make it easy to go all out on new activities and events, remember to be mindful of your budget and not overspend.

This summer, learn how to build and use a savings account wisely, how qualified members may receive pension benefits while remaining employed, and how to regain retirement confidence and position yourself for your dream retirement inside INPRS's new Destination: Retirement digital magazine.
