How to Live a TAX-FREE Retirement
Undoubtedly, the United States has been put on an inexorable course of skyrocketing government spending that can only lead to greater tax rates in the coming decades. If today you are in a 25% tax bracket, and tomorrow you’re raised to 30%, that’s an increase of 20% and a reduction of 20% of the retirement resources you had planned for!
(And if you’re 10% bracket were to go to 20%, that’s a doubling of taxes, and a 50% decrease in your resources!)
THE SECRET is to PLAN AHEAD. If you try to mitigate taxes after changes have already be made in the law, it will be too late to escape the outcome. Congress and the IRS are not that stupid.
But there are assurances in today’s tax code that are promised into the future and can’t be changed. Take this course to start learning what it means to live in retirement as free of taxes as one can be.
Estate Planning, Wills, and Trusts
Some people think that Estate Planning only applies to millionaires and billionaires with vast fortunes to divvy up. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The fact is that unless you prepare, Uncle Sam has already written your estate plan into law, and has rigged it up to put the IRS and Probate Courts and court-appointed Executors are at the front of the line as your first and foremost inheritors.
Find out how good planning can make sure you loved ones come first as your inheritors and that Uncle Sam gets pushed to the back of the line, where he belongs

How to Prevent Long-Term-Care Needs From Wiping Out Your Retirement Nest Egg
So many Americans are sadly mistaken to think that Medicare covers long-term care needs. But the fact is that after 90 days of acute care (meaning you are expected to recover), Medicare bows out and leaves you on your own to cover the typical $10,000 a month to be cared for, when you’re no longer able to care for yourself.
You may think you’re impervious to getting older. But the FACTS are that someone turning 65 today has almost a 70% chance of needing some type of long-term care services and supports in their remaining years.
Long Term Care today is the foremost reason that we ever see nest eggs quickly depleting in retirement, sometimes several years before a senior actually passes. It’s tough enough needing care when you age. It’s catastrophic to be living in poverty because of it!
Learn about the need for viable and economical options in the important course!
Medicare and YOU
Trying to make sense of a HUGE national healthcare program with:
At the end of the day, Medicare is always going to be a puzzle of buying the most benefits you need or want, for the least expensive premium.
Let’s make this a little easier and efficient for you. Start with this essential course.

An Important Lesson in "LAZY MONEY"
When times get volatile, over and over again we see that savers and investors will retreat into cash. Well that’s fine. But the BIG MISTAKE is to put your cash where it earns little or nothing, and then the months and years go by.
Even when banks pay less than .05% there are better and safer accounts that ear 3-4X more. In the long run or the short run, it matters!
