Stan's World - A Final Gift

Submitted by S. F. Ehrlich Associates, Inc. on November 20th, 2020

November 15, 2020

As many long-time clients will attest, I tend to share lessons I learn in life through this column. Some lessons may apply to more readers than others, but I always hope there is some value to at least a few of you. In this instance, I think I learned something that has the potential to benefit everyone. While that may be a bold statement, hear me out.

Stan's World - What Inheritance?

Submitted by S. F. Ehrlich Associates, Inc. on February 20th, 2020

February 15, 2020

Over the past few years, a lot has been written about the transfer of inter-generational wealth. The premise is that the Baby Boomers have amassed significant sums of money that they will not spend during their lifetime. Thus, these mini-fortunes will presumably pass on to their heirs.

How My Family Prepared for the Unthinkable

Submitted by S. F. Ehrlich Associates, Inc. on April 2nd, 2018

March 31, 2018

By: John Zeltmann

My parents' estate planning attorney looked at me in disbelief: "Did you just say 'dry run'?"

My father had passed away ten days ago. My Mom, Sister, Aunt and I were sitting in a meeting room in the attorney’s office, reviewing my Dad's will and the immediate steps that had to be taken. Everyone was still in a bit of shock, reeling from the last few weeks. We had months to grapple with the prospect of life without Dad, but once he was gone, it still felt all too sudden.

I Love My Kids - But Do I Really Want Them Cashing Out My IRA to Buy a Tesla?

Submitted by S. F. Ehrlich Associates, Inc. on January 3rd, 2018

December 31, 2017

By: John Zeltmann

Meet Abby and Ben.  Abby is our 2-year-old daughter.  Readers of this newsletter have already met Ben (5 years old) in a recent article espousing the benefits of teaching personal finance to children at an early age. While Abby and Ben are great kids, there’s at least one thing I’m not ready to hoist upon them should my wife and I meet a premature demise: our retirement plan balances and life insurance proceeds.
