So – Fall has fell. As far as I can tell, it looks like we’re in for Autumn weather from here on out. That’s not such a bad thing, really, except for the fact that we had so little Summer-like weather this year here in the Midwest. I suppose there’s not much we can do about it, besides, as I’ve mentioned on these pages before, Fall is one of my favorite seasons anyhow. This year isn’t bringing the promise of post-season baseball for the Cardinals, but I know that the Cubs fans are really looking forward to October. Good for you – make the most of it!
I have an article for you this month which explains (briefly) the concept of the Stretch IRA, and how you may use this as an estate planning tool for your family. As always, feel free to call me if you have any questions about the articles, or if you’d like to discuss your specific situation more completely.
