"With tax withholdings, typically spread across pay periods to avoid a large lump sum in April. Under withholding can trigger penalties. Self-employer or contractors may not have taxes withheld. Be sure to account for all income sources. Deductions reduce the amount of income subject to tax. For some filers, itemizing deductions may make sense. Itemized deductions can include mortgage interest, property taxes, state income taxes, and student loan interest," says Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz.
"In a Traditional IRA, contributions may be tax-deductible and earnings grow tax-deferred. Withdraw funds penalty-free after the age of 59 and a half but pay ordinary income taxes. In a Roth IRA, there is no upfront tax deduction, earnings grow tax-free, and withdrawals are tax-free after the age of 59 and a half. For someone that is self-employed, a SEP IRA can give more than a Traditional or a Roth IRA and allows for higher annual contribution limits," says Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz.

"To create an investment plan, you need to have an emergency fund in place. Make sure that the money invested, you will not need for the next 5 to 7 years. Use your 401k employer's match if possible.

Actress Marlo Thomas, media executive Loreen Arbus and financial literacy advocate Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz tell the Wall Street Journal's Veronica Dagher the secret to giving back, and why philanthropy ultimately makes them feel the most successful.
Last week, I had the great honor of greeting Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz at Stacks House and interviewing her in front of a live audience. We're grateful to have Schwab as one our partners at Stacks House. Together we developed the Retirement Rodeo that houses our famous mechanical piggy bank. Our goal was to bring to life the importance of saving for retirement through an unmatched, memorable experience. Our bucking savings pig illustrates the ups and downs of the stock market and why it's important to hold on. We were excited for Carrie's visit, not just so she could get a chance to experience Stacks House, but because she is such a leading advocate for financial literacy. She is one of America’s most trusted sources for financial advice and has devoted her career to helping men and women from all walks of life achieve financial security. Carrie and I talk about her early days working for her father, the great Charle Schwab, the challenges women face when it comes to securing their futures and what we can do about it, as well as the biggest mistake she ever made with her money. As many of you know, I’m also working with Charles Schwab to help spread financial literacy to the masses and it's been a really great collaboration so far. I'm a Charles Schwab customer and have been for many years. Before we get started, I just want to thank Charles Schwab for helping get this financial education content to you.

In this episode, Mark Riepe talks with Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz about ways to overcome some common mental blocks to saving more—and to put savings on autopilot. You can read more about how much American workers have saved at the Employee Benefits Research Institute.

Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz, author of The Charles Schwab Guide to Finances Over Fifty provides practical and implementable advice to show you how to gain control of your finances.
Retirement and investment planning is rarely black-and-white. The reality is that most of us have a substantial gray zone we go through from fully working until we fully stop working and all of our income sources are flowing full steam ahead. Also "Overtime" with Carrie Schwab Pomerantz (interview part 2).
Carrie is the daughter of Charles Schwab and Vega in working for the then startup in the mid 1970s. Carrie was 16! This remarkable conversation recounts the beginning's of Charles Schwab & Co. in one office room with rotary telephones. Schwab is now a multibillion dollar investment firm. Carrie is now director of the Schwab charitable foundation and thr Schwab donor advised funds.
When you see Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz's name, you might assume the daughter of Charles Schwab grew up quite privileged. After all, the Schwab name has become synonymous with wealth management. Didn't she end up working in the industry by default? Actually, no. Schwab-Pomerantz's parents divorced when she was a child, and her father's firm didn't become a financial force until she was well into her 20s. She was already there working with clients when Bank of America bought the company in 1983, and continued after the company split off again four years later. Today, Schwab-Pomerantz is Chairman of the Charles Schwab Foundation, and a senior vice president at the $56-billion company. She's a certified financial planner, and focuses on reaching out to groups like women, minorities and young people, who tend to have less experience managing their personal finances. I talked to Schwab-Pomerantz for the Fortt Knox podcast to get a sense of her personal journey – successes and mistakes – and also to dig out a lot of practical money tips for professionals who are trying to save for the future while planning big purchases and even raising a family. It's January, after all. There's still time to make good on those money resolutions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
