Consider Roth for Tax-Free Income

The adage “pay me now or pay me later” applies to the differences between traditional and Roth accounts in both IRAs and employer retirement savings plans. Traditional accounts (pay me later) offer a current-year tax deduction, but future withdrawals, including contributions and earnings, are subject to ordinary income tax.

Avoiding Probate with a TOD Deed and TOD Account

If you want to leave your home to your children or other heirs and keep the property out of the costly and time-consuming probate process, you could place your home in a living trust.

Life Insurance for Two

Many people allow their life insurance policies to expire once their children are grown. This may not be a good idea, especially if you have a mortgage or other substantial expenses and your spouse would need continued financial support. But a new policy can be expensive when you are older. Survivorship life insurance may be a more cost-effective solution.
