An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is one of the most effective ways to save for retirement because of its tax advantages. Depending on the type of IRA, your contributions may be tax-deductible today, or your withdrawals in retirement may be tax-free. Either way, an IRA helps your money grow more efficiently over time—so you can keep more of what you earn and build toward the future you want. For disclosure information, see thrivent.com/social While Thrivent does not provide specific legal or tax advice, we can partner with you and your tax professional or attorney. State tax rules may differ from federal rules governing the tax treatment of Roth IRAs and there may be conflicts between federal and state tax treatment of IRA conversions. Consult your tax professional for your state's tax rules. If requested, a licensed insurance agent/producer may contact you and financial solutions, including insurance, may be solicited. #IRA #RetirementPlanning #TaxAdvantaged #FinancialWellness #LongTermPlanning #BuildYourFuture #SmartMoney

A few fun facts about me: • I’m 6’7”, so you won’t catch me driving a Ford Fiesta (yes, I did play basketball… and tennis). • The first time I ever went golfing with my wife, I hit my first—and only—hole-in-one on the second hole we played. • I don’t have gray hair… it’s platinum. I believe great financial guidance starts with real relationships—and a little humor never hurts either. #GetToKnowMe #AdvisorLife #GolfStories #PackersFan #RealLifeFinance #WorkWithPurpose #HumanFirst For disclosure information, see thrivent.com/social.

Married to my wife Melissa since 1993 (she says most of that time has been happy for her ), I’m the proud dad of two daughters in their early 20s who are finally realizing I may not have been as clueless as they thought when they were teenagers. My career with Thrivent started in Southern California—though being of Norwegian heritage, my tan didn’t last long. We moved back to Wisconsin in 2003 after our second daughter was born, and it’s been home ever since. I’m also the proud owner of two shares of the Green Bay Packers…which might be one of my most important credentials. #MeetTheAdvisor #LifeBeyondFinance #PackersPride #WisconsinLife #ValuesBased #CommunityFocused For disclosure information, see thrivent.com/social.

It’s a bit of a process (simple… but not easy): You must cash the bond, then deposit the proceeds into a 529 plan within 60 days and in the same tax year. You must meet income limits (MAGI phase-outs apply) and have been over age 24 when the bond was issued. To benefit, you’ll need to file IRS Form 8815 for qualified education expense exclusion. ✅ If that sounds like Greek — or you just want to make sure you get it right — we’re here to help. 📞 Call our office at (608) 824-3503 and we’ll walk you through the steps so you can turn your savings bonds into education gold. #EducationPlanning #529Plan #SavingsBonds #FinancialPlanning #SaveForCollege For disclosure information, see thrivent.com/social.
