Labor Day is one of those holidays that sneaks up on us. For some, it’s the last backyard barbecue of the summer. For others, it’s the kids heading back to school. For many, it’s just the gift of an extra day to breathe.

But the story behind Labor Day is one worth slowing down to remember. In the late 1800s, workers across the United States were facing dangerous factories, endless hours, and little protection. Men, women, and even children were expected to give everything to their jobs with almost nothing in return. Out of that hardship grew the labor movement… And from many marches and strikes came ideas we now take for granted:

- The 8-hour workday instead of 12 or 14
- Weekends to spend with family
- Workplace safety laws
- Fair wages and collective bargaining

At FEFA, the message of Labor Day resonates deeply. Our firm exists because we believe people deserve better. At the heart of what we do, behind all the calculations and strategy, we turn hard work into better lives for others. We see it every day in the Clients we serve: The nurse who worked night shifts for 30 years... The postal worker who carried mail through snow and summer heat... The small business owner who poured heart and soul into their dream...

Each of them deserves a retirement that honors their effort. That’s why “A Noticeably Better Retirement” isn’t just a tagline. It’s a commitment to making sure the labor of your life leads to more than just “getting by.”

So as you fire up the grill today, kick back with friends, or simply enjoy a quiet moment of rest, remember the workers who made today possible. And remember that your work, too, deserves to add up to something greater. Here’s to dignity in labor, security in retirement, and a noticeably better tomorrow. 💪🇺🇸✨

Labor Day math: 🌭 + 🍻 + 🎶 + 😴 = 💯

When you do financial planning for a living, you tend to make everything a formula but we know everybody has a different one when it comes to this weekend. So who is doing what this Labor Day? Who’s firing up the grill, who's hitting the road, and who's just soaking in time to relax? Tell us your weekend plans!

It's National Dog Day! 🐶 It feels a little funny to celebrate because really, every day at FEFA HQ feels like "Dog Day." We're a dog-friendly office and if you’ve ever stopped by, you know our pups are part of the team. They wander into meetings, nap under desks, and somehow always manage to steal the spotlight during Zoom calls.

But the true meaning of today gives us all pause. Our pups are spoiled--they get loved on, played with, and given too many treats (looking at you, Marie!) Not every dog has that kind of life. "Millions of dogs are killed each year because they're simply unwanted", says Colleen Paige, founder of National Dog Day. "They're unwanted because no one realized how to properly care for the demands of the breed, unwanted because they shed too much, unwanted because they bark too much. UNWANTED simply because someone changed their mind."

All a dog wants to do is love you and be loved by you. Dogs are courageous, loyal, and deeply sentient beings that deserve compassion and respect. That is why Stray Rescue of St. Louis is one of the causes closest to our hearts. If you've been thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, today is the perfect day to visit your local shelter and adopt a dog (or cat!) who was once considered "unwanted."

If you already have 2 or 3 rescues like many of us here at FEFA, or your spouse won’t let you adopt another 😅, consider a donation to your local shelter! Every bit helps.

Biggest Social Security Changes for 2025! this important update with friends and family who receive Social Security benefits! 📢

Here's what you need to know:

💰 Benefits are getting a 2.5% cost-of-living increase. That means the average retiree will see about $50 more per month according to the SSA. It’s the lowest COLA we’ve had in four years, reflecting a return to pre-pandemic inflation trends.

📋 Important updates:
- Medicare Part B premiums rising to $185 (up $10.30 from 2024)

- Starting January 6, appointments will be *required* for all Social Security field offices

On this Veterans Day, we'd like to pause for a moment to honor the brave men and women who have served, as well as the furry heroes who served loyally by their side. From sniffing out danger to offering comfort, these incredible dogs support our service members through thick and thin. ❤️

To those in our community who have worn the uniform, and to the families who have stood behind them, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your service and unwavering commitment to our freedom and safety. Your strength and sacrifice inspire us every day. Thank you all! 🇺🇸 ✨
