I’m Kate Kuse, Associate DC Plans Coordinator with the MO Deferred Comp Plan. I’ve worked in the investment industry for about 20 years, and throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about investing because building wealth offers freedom, security, and the ability to control your own future. One of the best parts of my job is meeting one-on-one with state employees and helping them create a retirement savings plan that works for their goals and lifestyle. I know retirement can feel overwhelming at times, especially when people are trying to understand things like pre-tax versus Roth contributions or the differences between the 457 and Incentive Plans within your account. That’s where I love being able to help simplify things and make saving feel more manageable. I also think it’s important for employees to understand that expenses don’t suddenly disappear or decrease when you retire. For many people, the pension and Social Security income alone may not fully support the lifestyle they want in retirement. That’s why saving through MO Deferred Comp can make such a difference. We spend the majority of our lives working, so let’s save to make sure that we can have a little fun in retirement. I’d love the opportunity to meet with you, answer your questions, and help you create a plan for your future. Feel free to schedule a meeting anytime. I look forward to working with you.
