MARC WEISS TALKS ABOUT FINANCES

EXPERT FINANCIAL ADVICE FROM MARC WEISS 
Some Q & A About Annuities

Question I: Why Isn't Everyone Doing It?
 
Question II: What is the Big Deal About Guaranteed Income?
 
Question III: How Safe Is My Money In An Annuity?

Question IV: Why Would I Invest Tax Deferred Money Like An IRA in an Annuity Which Is A Tax Deferred Vehicle?

PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS

We all need certainty in our lives when it comes to our money - especially retirement money.  How else can we best invest our money into a GUARANTEED INCOME program than an Annuity - can we do it with a Brokerage Account, Bank or Investment Firm?  Heaven's NO!  Therefore, the only protection we see for the consumer investor is in a specially designed Annuity program.

GRANDPARENTING HELP

Communication between grandparents and their grandchildren (or even children) can be challenging especially in these times.  

Linda Minster, a UCLA graduate with a master's degree in education, administration and supervision,  works with grandparents to improve their interactions.   A parent and grandparent herself, she is very passionate about ways of improving communication between generations.

Minster, the author/instructor of two classes, "Grandparenting Successfully" and  "Parenting Successfully", while training teachers at CSUN,  knows  how stressful life can be, particularly today.   She teaches that the best way is when they all work together.   Most grandparents want to enrich their grandchildren's lives and don't give themselves  credit  for the positive role models they are.  Her classes explore how they can do this.

She is available for private or group talks.
