Forget Me Not Days

At Bankers Life, our insurance agents and associates witness firsthand the impact that Alzheimer’s and dementia have on our customers, their families and their caregivers. That’s why we established Bankers Life Forget Me Not Days®, our nationwide fundraising campaign to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association®. This June marks the 23rd anniversary of the campaign.

    Can’t say how much I appreciate Ben he was able to help me find all of my retirement accounts. I’ve worked five or six places had different money. I didn’t even know that was mine. He put a plan together and now I’m able to draw money every single month off my investments it’s all in one place And I don’t have to worry.

    Michelle is helping us with a complicated situation involving several accounts with multiple beneficiaries, and she did a super job helping my father-in-law find a good place to put his retirement money. She's also very pleasant to work with.

Finding Balance: How Financial Therapy Can Transform Your Money Mindset
Managing money can be a significant source of stress in life. For some, a simple tweak in their budget can bring clarity and stability. For others, financial challenges may stem from more complex issues, such as changes in financial circumstances, unhealthy spending habits, or emotional barriers. These difficulties can also impact relationships with partners and hinder progress toward achieving financial wellness. Moreover, our cultural background, religious beliefs, and gender identity often shape how we perceive and interact with money.

Should You Reevaluate Your 2025 Investment Strategy?
It’s common for investors, especially those in or near retirement, to pause and consider whether their financial approach still aligns with their goals. If the market feels shaky, then it becomes even more important to do so. Reviewing your 2025 investment strategy doesn’t always mean making major changes, but it may help you feel more informed and confident about your situation and next steps.
