Here are 6 takeaways from Buddy, the Financial Education Professional Elf:

  1. Treat every day like an opportunity to invest your money.
  2. There's room for every state employee in deferred comp.
  3. The best way to spread savings cheer is sharing plan resources throughout the year.
  4. Only run three laps around revolving doors or you'll get sick. Escalators are scary.
