Today is the International Day of Charity, an opportunity to recognize the positive impact nonprofit organizations have on our lives and our communities.   Recognition can take many forms, from volunteering to making a financial contribution. One way you can benefit an organization you care about and help yourself at the same time is by pairing a charitable remainder trust with an annuity.   This strategy is known as a split-interest gift: part of the gift is assigned to the charity and part of the gift stays with you and/or your spouse in the form of an income stream. And, at your death, the trust’s remaining assets pass to the charity, potentially leaving a substantial legacy.   Want to learn more? We’ve created material that helps explain the benefits and methods you can use and highlights some additional considerations to keep in mind.

Happy Labor Day! Enjoy your day off and remember, today is the last opportunity to wear white until Memorial Day. According to Emily Post, during the summer months, the well-to-do would leave their "city clothes" behind in favor of "light, whiter summer outfits." Autumn is upon us. Please unpack your sturdy city clothing. It is no longer suitable to wear those summery outfits . . . or go ahead and be a fashion risk taker, just don't risk your financial future. That's where we come in. https://lnkd.in/gNtK38Vy #LaborDay #Fashion #AuguStarRetirement

Fun Fact! : There are only two Paralympic sports that don’t have an Olympic counterpart: Boccia and Goalball Goalball is played on an indoor court exclusively by blind or visually impaired athletes. To even the playing field, every player must wear opaque glasses. String is taped on the floor so the players can feel the different lines on the court, and the ball contains bells. The object of Goalball is to throw the ball past the opposing team and into their net. AuguStar Retirement wishes good luck to our 🇺🇸 USA Paralympic Goalball teams, and all athletes competing in the 2024 Paralympic Games. #ParalympicGames #2024Paralympics #USAParalympics

It's the start of a big month for us at AuguStar Retirement! Why, you ask? The name "AuguStar" blends "August," derived from the Latin term meaning dignified, respected, and esteemed, with "Star," a nod to our parent company, Constellation Insurance, Inc., who is the source of our financial strength. Together, they make AuguStar (August-Star), your trusted partner for retirement planning success.

This past weekend, the eyes of the world were on Paris as the Olympic Games began, heralded by the lighting of the Olympic torch. Passing from one bearer to the next, the passing of the torch symbolizes the bonds we share between us, in spite of differences in geography, age, race or gender.   It’s those same bonds we share with those we love that inspires us to protect them after we’re gone. Just as the torch passes from one bearer to another, a joint life Orbiter Income annuity and Equilibrium Plus rider can allow us to pass income payments on to our spouses. We may not be able to be there physically to provide for them any longer, but we’ll know that the annual payments they’ll receive from their rider won’t change, allowing them to maintain their standard of living, providing warmth and comfort at a time when it’s needed most.   Even when you’re no longer here, an Orbiter Income annuity can act as a guiding light to a more secure financial future.   Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gNtK38Vy #FinancialSecurity #AugustarRetirement #Annuities #FinancialProtection #Olympics
