Stan's World: Composing Your Later Years

Submitted by S. F. Ehrlich Associates, Inc. on October 3rd, 2017

September 30, 2017

If nothing else, aging provides perspective. The longer you live, the more you realize there’s only so much you can plan for in life. Conversely, you also learn that failing to plan can be life-altering, but often not in a good way.

September is right around the corner, which means it's back-to-school time.  No doubt that any parent with a child under the age of 18 is scrambling around, helping their kids pick up the necessary materials they need for a successful year.  Just imagine the slate of courses primed for your child or grandchild: social studies, math, biology, art, personal finance...wait, what?  No personal finance class, you say?

Grab Your iPhone - It Might Actually Save You Money

Submitted by S. F. Ehrlich Associates, Inc. on June 30th, 2017

June 30, 2017

I’ll assume that all of us spend the money each year to pay the premiums for homeowner’s insurance, whether you’re a renter or a homeowner. But should a calamity impact your home, such as a fire, have you thought about how you would file a claim? While you might have a policy for certain pieces of jewelry, or works of art, do you have a written description of all your furnishings? Other collectibles? Family heirlooms?

Writing in MONEY.com, Nancy K. Schlossberg, a professor emerita of counseling and personnel services at the University of Maryland, reiterates the words of Coughlin: “Succeeding in retirement is about more than money.”1  As part of her new book: Too Young to Be Old: Love, Learn, Work and Play as You Age, Schlossberg groups retirees into six paths. “Any of these routes can be right for you (with one exception), and thinking about retirement this way can help you get comfortable with your new identity.”
