📚✏️ Supporting Student Success ✏️📚
One of my favorite parts of being a Thrivent Financial Advisor is having opportunities to partner with our community and help support local families.
Recently, through a Thrivent Action Team project, we assembled pencil box kits and donated them to Hillcrest School for distribution to students and families who may not have the ability to gather these supplies on their own. The goal was simple: to help ensure every student has access to the resources they need to start the school year prepared, confident, and ready to learn.
A special thank you to Mrs. Sessions for helping organize and distribute the school supplies. We truly appreciate everything you do to support students and families in our community.
One of the unique benefits available to Thrivent clients is the opportunity to lead up to two Thrivent Action Teams each year. These projects provide funding and resources that allow members to make a meaningful impact in their communities, just like this one.
Wishing all of the students, teachers, staff, and families a wonderful start to the school year. Here's to a successful year filled with learning, growth, and opportunity! 🎒🍎📖

This weekend, our Thrivent Action Team had the opportunity to partner with Blacktail Health at the Butte Farmers Market, and we were blown away by the support from our community.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth on Saturday and took a few minutes out of your weekend to help assemble a meal kit. Because of your generosity, we assembled 24 meal kits that will provide 96 meals for individuals and families in our community.
These meal kits were donated to the Blacktail Health Food Pantry, where they will be available to help our neighbors facing food insecurity. It was inspiring to see so many people willing to lend a hand and make a meaningful impact in such a simple way.
For those who may not be familiar, a Thrivent Action Team is a program that helps Thrivent clients and members put generosity into action. Thrivent provides seed money, promotional materials, and other resources to help support volunteer-led service projects that make a difference in local communities.
We hope to continue doing projects like this throughout the Farmers Market season, so be sure to look for us when you're strolling through the market! .
Thank you again to everyone who participated. Together, we were able to create 96 meals and make a positive impact right here in Butte.

Steady growth, stubborn inflation: Q3 2026 market outlookEconomic growth remains solid, but investors continue to face questions around inflation, interest rates and AI-driven market expectations. Explore Thrivent's 2026 Mid-Year Market Outlook for perspective on what may lie ahead. ⬇️

☀️ Summer officially starts now…
To all the teachers out there—seriously, nice work this year. 👏
Between everything you juggle, it’s easy for your own plans to take a back seat. Summer can be a good time to pause, reset, and think a little bit about what’s next—for you.
Most educators have TRS, which is awesome—but it doesn’t have to be your only plan.
A few things I’ve been helping teachers think through lately:
* What retirement could actually look like someday
* Building savings outside of TRS (even small steps early can add up)
* Creating flexibility so you have options later—not just one path
* Calculating what your TRS income could be in retirement
* And for those closer to retirement—figuring out when it might make the most sense to step away
You don’t have to have it all figured out right now—but having a direction helps.
If you ever want to run the numbers on your TRS and see how it fits into your overall plan, I’m always happy to be a resource.
For now—enjoy the break 🍉 You’ve earned every bit of it.

Many people ask, “Why would I need life insurance now when I’m young, healthy, and don’t have dependents?”
The reason isn’t really about today — it’s about protecting your insurability for the future. Health can change unexpectedly.
After going through cancer myself, and now having a family to protect, I’ve seen firsthand how life insurance can become much more expensive — and in some cases, unavailable altogether.
The youngest, healthiest version of you is who you are today — and that means today is the most affordable life insurance will ever be.

Many people focus on saving for retirement but don’t always think about how those dollars will be taxed later.
Relying heavily on tax‑deferred accounts like a traditional 401(k) can lead to larger Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) — and potentially higher tax bills — in retirement.
At Thrivent, we’re able to model future tax burdens and help clients implement strategies designed to create more flexibility and potentially reduce taxes later in life, not just today.
Planning ahead can make a big difference.
