Sharpen those pencils because school is officially back in session! For the fourth year (and counting), a team of volunteers at STRIDE Financial is bringing the Stock Market Program to St. Gall School 8th graders. From the fundamentals of saving and budgeting to building and managing a class investment portfolio, students explore real-world investing concepts like diversification, compound interest, market cycles, and even bubbles and crashes. Along the way, they gain hands-on experience making financial decisions and seeing the impact over time. We’re thrilled to continue equipping young learners with practical financial skills that will serve them for a lifetime — all while strengthening connections within our community. Sincerely, 
All of us at STRIDE Financial #financialliteracy

💡 Social Security is just one piece of the puzzle. Even if you’ve determined the best time and method to claim your benefits, it won’t matter unless you coordinate them with your overall retirement income plan. The truth? Social Security alone is rarely enough. It must be supplemented with other reliable income sources—savings, investments, and strategies that are designed to provide income you can’t outlive. 📥 Be sure to download your commissioned report today and discover how to align Social Security with your complete retirement strategy! https://hubs.li/Q03FLZtN0 #FinancialAdvisor #SavingMoney #RetirementPlanning
