Financial basics for everyone

With 25+ years of helping people with their money,  I often am asked for suggestions in planning for a financial future.   These are some basics:

The other side of networking

Greetings and salutations, welcome to this month’s issue of Things You Should Know.  I am going to wander off the path a bit and discuss networking, yes networking.  I know that seems to be the buzz going on right now, but don’t worry I do have a nugget for you. Ah, you thought I was talking about business networking groups, well no!

Things ain’t like they used to be

In previous generations, folks lived—and then they died—in close proximity to family.  With advances in technology and medical care, people are now living longer.   While there is still no miracle cure for aging—no fountain of youth— on average, we live longer and have access to greater resources that increase the quality of life.  Rather than an abrupt end, more of us will face some period of gradual decline requiring skilled care.

Stephen BrustQR Codes! What the heck is a QR Codes?
I know that is what some of you are thinking right now. Well here is the Wikipedia answer to that: QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional bar code).

The QR code was invented in Japan by the Toyota subsidiary Denso Wave in 1994 to track vehicles during manufacture. It was designed to allow high-speed component scanning. It has since become one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes and has completely invaded the web and mobile devices.

It’s important to keep your insurance up to date

Disaster can strike at any time. Without warning you could lose your home, your possessions and even your life in a fire, tornado or other disaster. It’s important to protect yourself and your family by having adequate insurance coverage.

Various types of probate and administration of estates

An estate may need to be administered where there is property of the deceased to be transferred. Jointly owned real property or bank accounts, without survivorship, are some of the types of property that call for administration of an estate. If there is a will, it would be probated. If there is no will, the estate is intestate, and a petition for administration must be filed. A personal representative for the estate must be appointed by the Probate Court.
