 By now many people have heard of Jennifers' Laws and Kayden's Law (if not scroll down a few posts.) These cases tragically were born out of the mortal deaths of three beautifu females, two moms in CT and a young girl in PA.

Learn more about the important resources victims of abuse and their advocates can access today (such as The Battered Mothers Custody Conference which runs at the end of the month into May and is held in Albany NY near the airport.

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.
