The holiday season is a stressful time for many reasons, including financial solutions. That’s why now is the perfect time to go through your end-of-year financial checklist. Not only to make sure that your finances for this year are optimized, but also to prepare for the year ahead.
In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planners Andy Smith and Isabel Barrow discuss what considerations need to be on your financial “to-do” list, including maximizing your 401(k), using any flexible spending account balances, reimbursing yourself for any 529 expenses, making and reviewing your annuity exit strategy, making charitable donations, arranging gift giving and more.
Later in the episode, Jean speaks with Dr. Stephen Hayes, an emeritus professor of psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno, president of the Institute for Better Health, and one of the most cited psychologists in the world today, about how to deal with the stress of the holiday season using psychological flexibility skills, including his own ON-A method.
