The Facts About Stock Market Corrections

The term "stock market correction" has been used quite a bit over the past year. But what does it really mean? Essentially, a stock market correction is a 10% or greater decline in the price of a stock or a stock index from its most recent peak. Corrections occur in both bull markets (when prices are rising) and bear markets (when prices are falling). They can feel unsettling, but they're a normal part of stock market behavior.

Holiday Travel Budget-Saving Tips

Holiday travel can strain your budget, but with smart planning, you can enjoy the season without breaking the bank. Here are practical tips to save on your 2026 holiday trips.

Life Insurance as a Gift

During this season of giving, some individuals wish to donate more to their favorite charity or organization but lack the funds. Offering life insurance as a gift is an affordable method to boost your charitable contributions.

Teaching Kids Good Money Habits

Kids often want nearly every toy they see or everything their friends have. While it can be challenging to always say yes, teaching children early to save for what they want can make those items more meaningful.

Trim Holiday Spending

Although the winter holidays haven't arrived yet, it's a good time to start financial preparations. For many, this involves making a plan, setting a budget, and following it. Here are some ways to do that.

Save for Retirement or College

For those with young families, this can be a quandary. Try to save for both, but prioritize retirement savings. There are loans for college, but not for retirement.

Make Saving Automatic

Company-sponsored 401(k) plans have evolved to include powerful features such as employer matching, automatic enrollment, contribution escalators, and rebalancing. Even without these options at work, you can replicate many of them to strengthen your retirement savings.
