Speaking of End of Life Choices

January 8, 2014 by Saul Kobrick Leave a Comment

It is incredibly difficult to raise the topic of end of life considerations. At some point, someone will have to broach the subject, even if Mom or Dad have already made all of the necessary arrangements. It’s far different than retirement topics; these conversations have to do with funeral and burial arrangements, do not resuscitate orders, powers of attorney for medical decisions – the really tough topics. If you think about it and the mindset we’re in when we plan for retirement, it’s one … [Read more...] about Speaking of End of Life Choices

Social Security COLA On The Way In 2012

November 14, 2011 by Saul Kobrick Leave a Comment

When you hear retirement planning attorneys emphasizing how important it is to make plans for the future you would do well to take their advice seriously. The statistics indicate that a very significant percentage of Americans wind up in a difficult position when they reach the latter portion of their lives, and this is in large part due to a lack of planning and unrealistic expectations regarding entitlement programs for seniors.

Retirement Age Is A Goal, Not A Given

September 21, 2011 by Saul Kobrick Leave a Comment

A significant percentage of people go through life expecting that they will retire when they reach their mid-to-late 60s without making any particular plans to make this possible.

Don't Be Lulled Into A False Sense Of (Social) Security

September 16, 2011 by Saul Kobrick Leave a Comment

There are people who assume that they will be able to retire as soon as they become eligible to receive Social Security benefits. At the present time the full retirement age for individuals born between the years 1943 and 1954 is 66 years of age. After this the full retirement age rises by two months each year, so if for example you were born in 1955 your full retirement age would be 66 years and two months. It goes up in this manner year-by-year until 1960. Americans who were born in 1960 and … [Read more...] about Don't Be Lulled Into A False Sense Of (Social) Security
