Hearing about IRAs (and can get more info from Suze Orman) and tax day April 18th, Good Luck!

Suze Orman had some info online about choosing a Roth IRA vs a traditional one. She shared that as long as one spouse had 6K of earned income, both could put that amount of funds away in an IRA (even if both did not earn that amount.) Nice to know. Then there's the pros and cons of which IRA gets taxed Before putting in place versus when it's taken out.

When I was talking over the idea with someone fairly 'in the know' she suggested it wasn't necessary coming into one's 60s with various life goals such as finding more secure housing, transportation and such to sock some money away.

Wishing the world into the way we want it to be (not as it is or one feels it has to be) is part of the wisdom and way forward for our sense of togetherness and team.

I wanted to start on a positive note since so much about climate change and these times with the Ukrainian conflict and the possible spread with more destructive politicians and forces gaining momentum can make us feel helpless and hopeless, like a turtle crossing on a busy highway in the dark or worse being tossed on its back.

Winter, Spring, Summer and Falls... "all you need to do is a call...and I'll be there yes I will, you've got a friend"...as the song by James Taylor goes and sings as the Housatonic flows...and as our Kaelan and other loved ones in spirit would want us to know...
 
See more on Livfully.org (Remembering Kaelan and other posts too...) to reflect on the importance of having safety plans and agreements and keeping them! Especially as the weather warms and kids and others are out exploring the wondrous outdoors.
