My Smart Retirement

On today’s episode, we’ll be discussing some of the things we can do as a gift to ourselves when it comes to retirement planning and our finances.  Don’t Overreact to the Headlines  Headlines come in a variety of forms. Make sure you aren’t overreacting to what you hear or read on the news. Particularly if it’s political or financial. Stay calm within yourself and make sure you are looking at things from a clear perspective. A lot of financial news is designed to get an emotional response from you.  Look for More Donation Opportunities  If you are charitably inclined, donating can be a tax-efficient opportunity. There are a lot of chances to help the poor, to help foster care, and more. No one is ever hurt by giving to a qualified charity.
