Empower's recent Financial Happiness Survey finds that for 73% of Americans, wellbeing is rooted in a sense of security of a financial plan.

In celebration of National Retirement Security Month (NRSM), here are three simple steps you can take to help improve your financial happiness today:

  1. Meet with your local Texa$aver Retirement Plan Advisor.
    Your Texa$averSM 401(k) / 457 Program provides access to experienced advisors who can evaluate your full financial picture to help ensure you're on track to reach your short- and long-term goals. This timely advice may include savings, investment allocation, distribution and rollover advice, including advice on consolidating outside retirement accounts.

    Survey says: 86% of Americans have at least one question about money on their minds.

  2. Use the financial tools and resources available through your retirement plan.
    Your Empower Personal Dashboard™ gives you free access to intuitive tools that can help you more comfortably manage your bills, prepare for unexpected expenses, plan for retirement and more.

    Survey says: 73% of people say a solid financial plan would bring them happiness.

  3. Make sure your Texa$aver program account is registered and your contact information is up to date.
    Help protect your account against fraud by making sure your account is registered with a strong username and password. For extra security, we also recommend providing your current email addresses and phone numbers for security alerts.

    Survey says: 33% of Americans have been victims of identity theft.

Financial happiness is an ongoing journey, and we want to support you on that journey. This NRSM, take these next steps toward the financial future you want.
