Daughter of elderly mother (EM) called in a bit of a panic. She had just found out that her 80 year old mother, living alone in another state, had been giving thousands and thousands of dollars to a campaign. This was done with recurring donations she had unwittingly signed up for on her cell phone. EM had no idea of what she had given every day for months.

When’s the last time you made a friend? Not just someone you see at work, or someone who is an acquaintance – a real friend. Someone you can call on and confide in, and who has your best interest at heart, and who can lean on you as well. In a previous article, I described the reasons why it is particularly important to make friends after retirement. Sanjay Gupta, author of the book “Keep Sharp: Build a Better Brain at Any Age,” calls friends, “connection protection” for being strong and resilient.

If you asked 100 people what the purpose of financial planning is, the reflexive answer of the majority would likely be to have more money. And this underlying belief, spoken or not, is likely why financial planning so often results in under-implemented plans and satisfaction levels that score just marginally above “meh” on a scale of “pointless” to “life-changing.” But is “life-changing” even a possible outcome for financial planning, or is that lofty aim an overreach? For the elderly widow with no heirs I met who, gripped by fears that stemmed all the way back to the Great Depression, compounded…

There are significant tax-reduction opportunities available when employer stock is held in a 401(k) plan. The opportunities are more significant now, as are the potential consequences of a suboptimal decision, because prices of many stocks increased significantly in recent years. Yet, many people diminish their benefits by rushing their decisions. The key tax break is known as net unrealized appreciation, or NUA. It can be very valuable, but you must know and follow the rules. If you sell employer stock while it is in your 401(k) or other retirement account, such as an ESOP, you do not get the tax…
