ESTATE PLANNING AND PRESERVATION
It's almost time for summer vacations
Many of us love vacation but if when we don't save it can leave a big hole in the budget. This idea came from a 20 something client who was tired of being broke after vacation. He now saves weekly for his vacation and this is how he does it. For every week he puts away that week's number in dollars. Here is how it works, week one of January (the first week of the new year) he saves $52.00 and the second week of the year he saves $51.00, the third week of the year he saves $50.00 and so on. He gets paid every other week so he is very diligent about transferring the two weeks at a time into his vacation savings. Pretty smart, whatever works for you is what works. But he does put away almost $1500.00 a year and avoids those vacation spending blues. Send us any of your ideas and maybe we can pass them on to a future saver.

If you're looking for options for your retirement give us a call, we can help you get the answers you're looking for and create a plan for your retirement!!
