Tax-wise Investing: Planning 401(k) Distributions

Submitted by The Participant Effect on September 30th, 2020

An important part of tax planning when it comes to investing is considering the tax impact of accessing your investment funds. As you know, one of the key features of the traditional 401(k) retirement account is that you can contribute pre-tax dollars from your income, which then grow tax free until you need them.

Medicare And Long-term Care

Submitted by The Participant Effect on August 4th, 2020

There may come a time when tasks like putting on your pants and brushing your teeth are difficult without assistance. The federal government projects that almost 70 percent of Americans turning 65 now will eventually need long-term care. How much care you think you’ll need, and how you’ll pay for it, is an essential part of prudent retirement planning.

What Is Medicare Advantage?

Submitted by The Participant Effect on August 4th, 2020

Medicare Advantage plans, often called Medicare Part C, are sold and administered by private companies. Medicare pays these companies a fixed fee for each enrollee, and they’re required to provide at least as much coverage as Original Medicare (Parts A and B.) Some plans even offer customer rebates.

Signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson in 1966, Medicare now covers nearly all Americans over age 65.

Social Security and Your Retirement Plan

Submitted by The Participant Effect on July 8th, 2020

Retirement planners often refer to the “three-legged stool” of retirement income: pensions (now 401(k) funds for most workers), private savings and Social Security. As one of a trio of legs, Social Security was never meant to be the single source of support in retirement.
