The Woeful Inadequacies of Traditional Estate Planning: The Four Critical Questions You Need To Ask Yourself

When I mention the words, estate planning, most people think of meeting with an attorney and drafting legal documents. Traditionally, those documents include a will, durable power of attorney, health care proxy and perhaps a trust. After you draft these documents, you meet to sign them, then you put them somewhere "safe," cut a check to the attorney and breathe a sigh of relief because you finally have things covered. All is well and your estate is perfectly in order, right? WRONG! Too often the drafting of legal documents is confused with developing an estate plan. Sure, legal documents are part of an estate plan, but they are not "the" estate plan. You need to make sure that you have everything in one spot. If not, you could cause yourself some real problems. That's why 98% of all estate plans fall short. That's why you have debacles like the Terry Schiavo case and the Ted Williams dispute. In order to make sure that these sort of things don't happen...

Tips on how to save money

Money is an essential element in every body's life. It is the one that we exchange to get all the necessary things in life. And that is exactly the reason why we work all day and sometimes night. Since the flow of money in one's life is not uniform, it is only prudent to save some money for the crunch days. Economics permits one to spend his/her money in any amount as he/she wishes. But how rationally one could plan so as to maintain a minimum level of backup in any given day is directly linked with his/her ability to save. In daily life, even if we know that we are spending money to buy things we need, most of us tend to over see the fact that more than 50% of the spending is for purposes that are quite unnecessary or those expenditures can be avoided without affecting one's basic life style. Exactly this is the point from where one should start thinking of saving money. Distinguish between and clearly understand your needs and wants. Needs are those things one require t...

Juggling Retirement and College Savings

Most parents want to pay for their children's college education, or at the very least help pay for college. While it would be great for your children to be able to start like after college without student loans to pay off, the cost to parents may be too high. The average annual cost of a 4-year public college is $12,127 (source: The College Board's Annual Survey of Colleges, 2005-2006), with 4-year private schools averaging $29,026 a year. College costs have been outpacing inflation by rising over 5% per year. On the other hand, saving for retirement has become even more important as companies have started freezing or eliminating pension plans, and the future of Social Security continues to be uncertain. Paying for both college and retirement will be challenging for most parents. Here are some suggestions to help you to achieve both goals: • Have a plan. You should determine how much you will need for retirement and how much you anticipate your children will need for college. •...

Women And Money Management

Roth Or Traditional Ira?

When you start to look at your retirement options one of the first questions that will come up is whether you should go with a Roth or traditional IRA. There are always a lot of things to consider when making these kinds of decisions but the main difference between the two options are your current, and future, tax obligations. An IRA, or, independent retirement account, is something you set up on your own. Unlike a 401k plan, which you set up through your employer, an independent account requires you to go out and find a company to handle your account for you. You will pick your investments on your own, or with the help of a financial advisor, and generally have a lot of control over what happens with your money. The maximum contribution limits change each other but as of 2010 they are
