Stocks are on sale!

When do you stock up on basics like paper towels and toilet paper?--when they are on sale! These every day use products have NOT changed: a roll is either $0.82 or 0.62 on sale but it is the same roll. Last week, I saved $15.80 on my shopping cart. I bought the same things I bought before. Your investments in stocks are the same. Earlier this year, your 500 Index of stocks cost you $272 and now the same thing costs $234. Stocks are on sale—the same ones: Microsoft Apple Amazon.com Alphabet Berkshire Hathaway Johnson & Johnson JPMorgan Chase Facebook Exxon Mobil Pfizer. Why are you thinking of selling?—And not buying? Think of your future first not last.

Wealthy use crypto currency to launder their hidden cash

Since the new monetary system is not regulated by governments and is just virtual money (there are no physical ‘coins’ actually stored in vaults), you can hide this ‘money’ anywhere. The trick is finding places to spend it. Like counterfeit $20 bills, who will take it off your hands and for how much? You can’t just buy a ‘mansion’ with Bitcoins unless the owner will take them. Plus, where ever you store your digital booty, it might be stolen or lose value. Crypto is like Madoff’s marketing plan. He did not solicit nor advertise his Ponzi scheme. He pretended his strategy was not intended for everyone. Only the well-heeled were allowed to give him money. He created a myth and sold it via actual investment advisors and their social circles. His pitch: “you can’t have it so you want it more” and “don’t ask questions, just be grateful you got in.” "Everybody was greedy, everybody wanted to go on and I just went along with it," Madoff told a journalist.

Is this tax shelter right for you?

You can save/invest up to $500 a month and never pay tax on your earnings. This tax shelter is approved by the IRS! You don’t have to hide your money overseas. You don’t need a lawyer to set up the trust. You don’t need an advisor to manage your earnings. You don’t need an accountant to prepare your return for this shelter. You can set up this shelter on the phone or online in about 1 hour. You can have the trustee put the same monthly amount in automatically. You can have the unbiased trustee manage the securities at little cost. Tax-FREE earnings means you are not paying 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, or 37% on your money after you accumulate $500,000 or a $1 million or TWO. (You can earn 10-12% a year over time.) There is no penalty if you need to take out the amount you put in so far. You may even be able to put your 401k in this shelter.

401k changes

GOP tax planners want to change the way 401k plans work. One change is building an annuity into the plans. Workers would no longer have to move their money to an advisor who profits from selling annuities. However, annuities are run by insurers and they want fees too. This could be good news for some but expensive for others. Another change is linking 401k plans to student loan payoffs. The

U.S.

has more than $1.4 trillion in student loan debt and Congress wants to make sure the bank loans are paid. The bill would allow workers who are paying down student loans to receive employer matching contributions into their 401(k) plans as if those student loan payments were salary reduction contributions made into the 401(k) plan. The legislation also applies to 403(b) and SIMPLE retirement plans. Another bill would allow companies to use up to $5,250 of employees' pretax income to pay down the employees' student debt directly.

The Cons of Roth IRA: When NOT to use Tax-FREE account

Expert Slott says there are circumstances when you are NOT better off using a Roth IRA. For most of us, the Tax-FREE account is still the best deal in town and you don’t need a lawyer or advisor to arrange a tax-free retirement. Any large mutual fund provider will set it up and invest your contributions in the low-cost funds of your choice or a Target Date fund based on when you retire. Since you will owe NOTHING on your IRA retirement income, you may not owe taxes on your Social Security benefits. SS income can be taxed up to 85% depending on other income. Converting regular IRAs into Roths (‘Back-door Roth’) is allowed no matter what your income. Roth IRA contributions can be used before age 59 ½ without penalty because you already paid tax on them. Consider how much tax you avoid: contributions of $3,000 a year for 33 years ($99,000) can earn over $1 million and the taxes on gains ($900, 000) at 22% or 198,000 are avoided.

Is your employer taking too much from your retirement plan?

Another employer was caught charging employees more for their 401k plans. Brokerage firm Edward Jones agreed to pay $3.2 million to settle 401(k) fiduciary breach case. There were "superior, less expensive investment options" that plan executives should have chosen, the Tuesday settlement document said. Participants also alleged that the plan charged "excessive record-keeping fees." Some employers have not only failed to offer ‘superior, less expensive options,’ but have actually tried to profit from their employees’ savings for retirement. Some have received ‘kick-backs’ from the investment option providers. Instead of helping employees, they make employee-benefit plans a profit center.

Medicare for all

The most heard objections are too expensive and you would have to wait to get treatment like in

Canada

and

Germany

. Anyone who pays for their health care benefits knows that WE HAVE THE SAME THING NOW. Many of us who pay a lot for care (unlike millionaire Congress people and the TX judge who banned ACA) have put off care and waited because of the price. A new study says 30% of us do that NOW. If you have ever tried to obtain authorization for a treatment from a health insurer’s telephone clerk or tried to get a provider to guarantee they wouldn’t bill you but accept the insurance company payment ONLY, you know you are living with a bureaucracy just like the government. Every time I go to my PC doctor to renew my scripts, I have to sign that I will pay if my insurer won’t. Sometimes the firm that owns my PC practice will tell me I must make another appointment just to have them renew my scripts for diabetes and bp.

Let’s try a new way so my pre-existing is covered for the rest of my life without worry: https://www.amazon.com/Health-Insurance-ONLY-right-policy/dp/1480125083
