Able 529 Plans
Do you have a family member with disability-related expenses? Are you afraid saving for their future may cause them to lose government benefits? You may be ABLE to ease some of those financial strains by setting up a tax-free savings account.
The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act of 2014 allows states to create tax-advantaged savings programs for eligible people with disabilities (designated beneficiaries). Tax-free distributions from these ABLE (529A) accounts can help pay for qualified disability expenses. Some of these expenses include but are not limited to education, housing, transportation, assistive technology, employment training and support, financial management, burial expenses, health care expenses, and basic living expenses.
To automatically qualify for ABLE, the individual’s disability must have begun before turning 26 years of age, and they must already be receiving benefits under SSI and/or SSDI.
Contact me for information on contribution limits, rollovers from 529 plans, and how to set up an ABLE account.

Financial Steps to Take when a Loved One Passes
When a loved one passes, you will want to defer all but the most essential financial decisions. Talking to your financial advisor can help you work through what must be addressed now and what can wait until you are more emotionally settled. Here are a few things that should be done immediately….
- Obtain a death certificate. The funeral director can help you obtain this or you can get it directly from the office of human statistics.
- Contact your financial advisor, insurance provider, and attorney. This checklist will help you gather the items most likely to be requested them. They can help you start the probate process, handle the estate, and make sure assets and death benefits are going to the right beneficiaries.
- Notify the person’s employer (if they are still working), the social security administration, Medicare, Veteran Affairs, or anyone else providing benefits to the deceased.
- Review and update your financial plan. Your advisor can make sure you have enough money on hand to cover current and future expenses, review your cashflows, and take stock of your finances.
And a few others that can wait until you are ready….
- A home is possibly your largest asset but it is not money you can live on. Deciding whether to keep or sell your home will be one of the most emotional decisions you will make.
- Paying for your children’s college. Look at what you currently have saved in 529’s and come up with a strategy for the rest including the role of financial aid options and loans.

Fight Telephone Fraud and Financial Literacy Month
Article
Phone Fraud’s Rising—Can You Spot the Scams?
Email body:
Hi [NAME].f you didn’t fall for a scam by phone last year, congratulations!
1 in 4 Americans did—and the number of fraudulent phone calls is on the rise.
From 2021-2022, 23% more people reported losing money over the phone.
In fact, scammers stole enough money in 2021 to give every person in California $1,000!
Of course, they didn’t give it away…they created a nightmare scenario for 59.4 million people and kept the ill-gained funds all for themselves.
This isn’t to scare you, but rather, to highlight the importance of remaining vigilant when deciding to answer a call from an unknown number.
It’s a common misconception that phone scams only happen to grandma. In reality, the chief targets are men and those between the ages of 18 and 44. And with AI cloning technology, it’s becoming harder to spot the scam.
Check out this week’s article on how to identify and report telephone fraud.
And remember, as your trustworthy wealth management advisor, I am here to help you explore additional ways to protect your money. After all, you’ve worked hard for it!

The United States Financial Literacy and Education Commission’s vision is of sustained financial well-being for all individuals and families in the U.S. through their Know and Grow campaign they encourage Americans to make the most of their money by understanding the five principles for managing and growing your money. They are:
EARN – Make the most of what you earn by understanding your pay and benefits.
SAVE & INVEST – It’s never too early to start saving for future goals such as a house or retirement, even by saving small amounts.
PROTECT – Taking precautions about your financial situation, accumulate emergency savings, and have the right insurance.
SPEND – Be sure you are getting a good value, especially with big purchases, by shopping around and comparing prices and products.
BORROW – Borrowing money can enable some essential purchases and builds credit, but interest costs can be expenses. And, if you borrow too much, you will have a large debt to be repaid.

Pay Taxes Now or Later? That is the Question.
When it comes to retirement savings deciding when you want to pay taxes is an important step in your planning process.
Do you pay now using a Roth IRA or Roth 401(k)? This means paying income taxes now on your contributions before they go into your retirement account.
Do you pay later? Your contributions will go into your traditional 401(k) or IRA before you pay taxes and you will pay them later in retirement.
Should you contribute to both?
Is tax efficient investing part of your comprehensive financial plan? Asset location, tax-sensitive rebalancing, timing of tax liabilities on contributions and withdrawals are all things a good financial advisor will consider.

A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned
When you choose not to spend your money and save it instead, you are up one dollar rather than down one. Investing only one dollar a day, averaging 8% interest, over 40 years could earn you $100,000.
Start by making smarter choices with your money:
- Do you really need that Iced Carmel Macchiato? Can you pack your lunch instead of eating out?
- Buy a generic item instead of a name-brand.
- When buying a big-ticket item, ask for discounts, look for coupons, or wait until it is on sale.
- Cancel un or under used memberships and subscriptions.
- Institute a 24-hour rule. Wait a day before making a purchase to see if you still really want it.
Finally, learn how to say NO. Every dollar you save could end up being important.

Saving, Investing and Financial Planning by Age and How Does My Financial Plan Affect My Family?
Article
- Age: how does it affect your financial planning strategy?
- Does your savings and investment strategy reflect your age?
Email body:
Hi [Name],
Age may be “just a number”…
But there’s no doubt it factors into a sound financial planning strategy.
Every stage of life carries its own challenges—and initiatives that can address your concerns and goals.
For instance, in your 20s, you may be able to tolerate more risk in your portfolio, while capitalizing off insurance benefits and workplace perks like a 401(k) with employee matching. Later, you may be concerned about paying for your child’s education, caring for an aging parent, or paying off mortgage debt, while also putting aside funds for retirement savings.
No matter what stage you’re at in life, this week’s article offers tips and suggestions on what you can do today to create a more confident tomorrow.
If you have questions, contact me to help review and tailor your plan. Since situations and priorities change, meeting at least once a year to discuss your strategy is a wise move.
