What a Difference a Day Makes!
05/26/2011 by
This weekend is very special! As a peace time veteran I did have often considered myself lucky not to have served in combat. My job description and duties as a crew chief in Ch-53’s would have put me in the line of fire. I often think of my military service with a humble heart and say to myself “there but for the grace of god go I” when pondering on those currently in harms way.

Retirement Income

For this post I’m using an article that I wrote for the Town & Gown’s Guide to Financial Services, regarding our income for life strategy. Enjoy!
Recent studies have shown that the traditional retirement strategies of pulling a percentage off a brokerage account may be flawed. According to one study, stock and bond only strategies preserved the original value in just 45% of the cases, while “Income for Life” strategies preserved the original value in 93% of the cases. Paul Nichols, the president of Financial Abundance a registered investment advisor and estate planning firm in State College, compares traditional retirement strategies to the “Income for Life” strategy.

The Ethical Will: Voice for Estate Planning
08/25/2009 by
In medieval times, Jewish men wrote letters to their sons, passing on guidelines for living a worthy life. These legacy documents were called “Ethical Wills,” and provided for meaningful, enduring communication between generations. Modern people of all ages and faiths are now rediscovering this beautiful and sensible tool.
An Ethical Will or “personal legacy letter,” is appealing because it provides thoughtful adults the opportunity to reflect on their own lives for the benefit of those who will follow them, and helps make sure that nothing really important gets ‘lost in the cracks’ between generations.
Caring for Your Spouse…Even After You’re Gone
04/17/2009 by
Your spouse has been there with you through thick and thin. They have been your rock, the foundation upon which you’ve built your life. Your spouse has probably been your friend, confidant, and true partner.
If your spouse is ailing now, there are ways that you can protect them, even after you are gone. Let’s say your spouse has a slowly degenerative disease, like Alzheimer’s disease. Hopefully, their illness may be kept at bay. As long as you are there, you may intend to care for your spouse at home. But, what if you die first? At least one study has shown that caregivers themselves often get sick or die early because of the stresses on them.
