Roth accounts are an amazing tool when it comes to creating wealth. Roth IRAs are not subject to probate and can be passed on to heirs tax-free. They also grow tax-free! If you're considering a Roth Conversion, Peter with Richon Planning and Erin Kennedy walk through 3 key considerations: 1. Your future tax rate  2. When will you need to access the funds? 3. Your beneficiary's future tax rate Keep in mind, we are living in a historically low tax rate. Many financial experts believe that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 reduced federal income tax rates to the lowest level they may ever be, and those cuts are set to expire at the end of 2025. In other words, there has never been a better time to determine if a Roth Conversion is right for you. If you'd like to crunch the numbers with Peter, please call (919) 300-5886 or visit www.RichonPlanning.com #WealthManagement #Roth #RothConversion #FinancialAdvisor #Taxes

I've been to therapy a few times over the years when dealing with tragedies in my life and the Marine Corps and the thing therapy helped me realize immediately is that the things that were bothering me were perfectly normal for them to bother me.  Once I realized that, it made everything much easier to deal with. Now we all know that being in the military is pretty much a traumatic experience in and of itself, but I want to make sure you understand this point, therapy isn't just for those who've experienced major trauma. Therapy is helpful for learning positive coping skills and how to set boundaries; it empowers you to be the best version of yourself.

Before the start of our weekly business meeting, John Kokkoris and I had some soccer small regarding this misguided notion of “let the kids play”. It was stimulated by the following comments made by the Argentine National Team manager, Lionel Scaloni. “There’s an excess of analysis, too much. Nowadays, everyone knows how the opponent plays; […] The post Ep 334: Be Smart with this Incomplete Notion of “Just Let the Kids Play” appeared first on 3four3.

Welcome to Bri Books! Today, I'm sharing the 6 steps to more intentional goal-setting (and goal-keeping!) Consider this your guide to healthy and effective goals. Goalsetting is a healthy practice, but it can be hard to find the best strategy that empowers you to execute your goals. 6 Steps to More Intentional Goals Be compassionately realistic about where you are. Be specific about your “why'“: Drill down on precisely what you want to achieve. When you spend time understanding the “why” that drives your actions, it's easier to avoid distractions and focus on pursuing your goal. Remember, you don't have to achieve all of your goals at once. You can always iterate as you accomplish. Be intentional about how you're going to get there: Break your goals down into smaller goals you can accomplish daily. Focus on continuation and consistency, and remember, getting to your destination will require several steps steps. You don't simply arrive at a destination immediately—you get their mile by mile. Be SMART in your goal-setting: Your goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. The more specific you can be with your goal, the higher the chance you'll complete it. Write your goals down: When you write your goals down, they become real and tangible instead of a vague idea that resides only in your mind. Once you've written your goals down, keep them somewhere visible. This tactic reminds you to keep working on your goals daily. As you're writing down your goals, use a positive tone so you stay excited about completing them Evaluate and iterate: Always, always, always take time to evaluate your successes, identify your growth areas, and iterate on how you're feeling. Accomplishing your goals should be fun, not draining.   Thank you for listening to this episode of Bri Books! What are your goals for 2024? Let me know on Instagram! !

In episode 374 of the BE SMART podcast, Jared demystifies the key to deal negotiation for a home and why, as a buyer, you should be making a series of negative comments to your realtor to bring the price of a house down. Everything in real estate is negotiable, and it's a bit like playing cards—meaning it's helpful to know which cards a seller is holding. You don't want to be a “people pleaser” when negotiating for a house. It never hurts to ask for something you want included, whether it be the drapes or a piece of furniture.

There are points in time when producers have pricing power, and there are other times when they don't. This concept is known as demand elasticity. If something has elastic demand, companies can't raise prices much or else demand will go down. On the flip side, if something has inelastic demand, it doesn't matter how much prices increase because people will still pay for it. In this episode of the BE SMART podcast, Jared discusses how demand elasticity impacts consumer spending habits, people's perception of value, and whether you should ditch a company like Netflix when it jacks up its monthly subscription price.
