Are banks open on Labor Day in 2025? That's a question plenty of folks are asking just ahead of the holiday that celebrates the American labor movement. The answer is no, banks are not open on Monday, September 1.
For many of us, the holiday will be spent celebrating with family and friends, though some might prefer to take a few minutes to take stock of their financial health.
One way to do this is by evaluating how much you need to save for retirement and checking to see if you're on track based on the average retirement savings by age. A common calculation is the 4% rule for retirement withdrawals.
