Financial Tip of The Month.
Teaching Kids about Money. As we prepare our taxes, we are always planning what we can do better next year. I have frequently recommended that now is the best time to start 1 new habit. This year, I suggest it's helping to instill 1 good financial habit in a young person you influence.
In fact, if you have kids, and you help with their taxes, then get them involved. Let them do their own return. Let them see what's involved, and understand the difference tax planning can have. Knowing that completing the tax return may ensure they get back money, or receive credits so paying less, is often a simple lesson and helps to provide incentive to complete the tax return. This 1 step can help build a better financially astute citizen for tomorrow.
Need an accountant to help. I work with many and I'm happy to refer to one that is a good fit for you..

ESTATE PLANNING
What About Your Digital Footprint?
Your Digital Afterlife by Evan Carroll was published in 2010 and is now gaining traction due to the concerns of Digital Property
By 2090, it's been forecast, that there will be more Facebook accounts for deceased people, than those living. That's a rather strange thought. But it makes you realize that your online presence, and all your valuables housed behind passwords, and in the digital world can be lost without a plan. Deciding on what you would like to happen to your devices and their contents is now starting to be an integral part of will planning. It is imperative to review this information with a financial and legal professional to ensure you leave the legacy you want to leave.
