Top Ten Ways To Retire Retirement
Posted by: | Commentswww.2Young2Retire.com
- Retire the word “retirement” from your vocabulary. Look it up: it means to “withdraw” or “retreat.” Words can shape reality, and it’s time for this one to go. Doesn’t “renaissance” or “graduation” better describe your post-career life?.
- Realize that retirement is a relatively new concept in human evolution. A few generations ago, before social security and full-time leisure became culturally embedded as the “norm,” elders remained productive members of society, relied upon for their insight, wisdom and skills. Read More→
Congress passes a hefty $5 million estate tax exclusion

Robert C Adamski
On behalf of Robert C. Adamski, Attorney at Law
The Federal Estate Tax was phased out for the year 2010, but was scheduled to come back with a vengeance in 2011 with an exclusion of a mere $1 million.
Fortunately, Congress has passed a bill granting a $5 million exclusion for 2011 and 2012, and the highest tax rate is 35%, a significant reduction from previous rates. The bill will go to the President on Friday. This is a drastic change from previous law.
What does this mean to you? A single person dying in 2011 or 2012 need not pay estate tax if their total taxable estate is less than $5 million. A married couple can double the exemption to $10 million with proper planning. Read More→

AVOID MAKING COMMON MISTAKES
By Dr. Eva Mor
In my book Making the Golden Years Golden, I help the reader develop plans for their future retirement. Women tend to be less prepared then men. In this article I address the women that are more likely to be less financially savvy, and thus make costly mistakes.
The statistics show that women live longer than men, on the average 8-10 years longer, 50 percent of marriages end in divorces, so you must be prepared to manage your finances wisely if you should be one of the women that are living on their her own. The following are 10 mistakes that are most commonly made as well as suggestions of how to avoid them, or correct them:
- Being unfamiliar with finances.
Women tend to let their spouses handle family finances and all related decisions. Protect yourself by making sure you know of all investments, all accounts, and your name appears on all of them. Joint ownership establishes your legal right to all assets in the event of your spouse becoming ill, or the unfortunate event of the marriage ending. Read More→
