September 2025: Fall Financial Check-Up: Reset, Refocus, and Refresh Your Finances

As summer winds down and fall begins, it’s the perfect time to pause and review your finances. A “Fall Financial Check-Up” can help you reset after summer spending, refocus on your year-end goals, and refresh your financial plan before the holiday season approaches. At Pathwise, we’re here to guide you with practical steps and personalized support.

Why a Fall Financial Check-Up Matters

  • Year-End Readiness: The last quarter of the year is a key time to prepare for taxes, benefits enrollment, and retirement contributions.
  • Holiday Prep: Planning now helps you avoid financial stress during the holiday season.
  • New Goals: A check-up keeps your budget and savings aligned with your life stage, whether you’re focused on family, retirement, or building your future.

Key Areas to Review This Fall

  1. Cash Flow & Budget: Revisit your spending after the summer. Adjust your budget for fall expenses and upcoming holidays.
  2. Retirement Savings: Check your progress toward annual contribution goals. Are you maximizing your employer match?
  3. Insurance Coverage: Fall is often open enrollment season. Review your health, life, and disability coverage.
  4. Debt Management: Reassess your debt repayment strategy to stay on track before year-end.
  5. Estate & Tax Planning: Small changes before December 31 can make a big impact at tax time.
  6. Life Stage Alignment: Whether you’re supporting family (Guardian Plus), nearing retirement (Retirement Plus), or planning income strategies (Lifetime Income), fall is a smart time to make adjustments.
