Convert To Roth Ira Regardless Of Income ? 2010

An odd quirk in the recent legislation to extend the Bush Tax Cuts is giving IRA holders a huge break. For one year, and one year only, the income cap will be gone.

Convert To Roth IRA Regardless of Income ? 2010

2010 may seem like a long way off, but something magical is going to happen then if you prepare for it. The recent legislation extending the Bush tax cuts contains a unique clause regarding the Roth IRA. Specifically, it contains language that makes the Roth IRA available to anyone regardless of their income, but only for one year.

A Roth IRA is a retirement account that offers a lot of advantages. The primary advantage is found in the distributions from the account. Simply put, they are tax free if a couple of requirements are met. First, the distributions must be made after you pass the age of 59 years and six months. Second, you must have owned the Roth IRA for at least five years. If you meet this test, the money is yours free and clear including all the gains you have made from your investments over the years.

The only criticism of Roth IRAs has to do with income caps. Simply put, a person with a modified gross adjusted income of $100,000 or more cannot convert an existing IRA to a Roth. While many people fall below this income cap, those that were just over it certainly have had a beef.

In an effort to extend his tax cuts, the President agreed to a number of oddities in the new tax legislation. One of the strange clauses is a single year cap exemption. In 2010, the income cap of $100,000 will not apply to the Roth IRA. Put in simple terms, you can convert to a Roth in 2010 regardless of how much you make. You can only do it in 2010, not 2009 or 2011.

There appears to be no reason why the politicians would create a one year exemption to the Roth IRA income cap. It certainly seems a bit fishy, but you might as well take advantage of it. While 2010 seems far off in the future, it gives you time to plan any conversion. Remember, if you convert a traditional IRA to a Roth, you must pay taxes on the moved money. If at all possible, you will want to do this with cash you save between now and then. The more money you can cram into a Roth, the better off you will be in the end.

Do You Know What?s Going On With Your Pension Plan?

That's a good question, do you know whether or not your pension plan is stable, and if so will it remain that way? Well, if you're part of your employers pension plan, you should find out the answers to these questions. Once you find out, stay informed about your pension plan.

You say you know you have a pension plan but really don?t know what this is. A pension plan is a retirement account that your employer contributes funds as part of your future retirement. The amount paid to your retirement fund by your employer is based on the number of years you have worked and the amount of income you have earned.

How long will it take for me to become eligible for my employer's pension plan? It is normally between 3-5 years that you become eligible for the plan offered by your employer.

What if I no longer work for the employer after I become eligible will I still be vested? Yes.

I hear some employers have terminated their pension plans, why is this? Some employers are finding it very expensive to continue with their pension plans due to: increased number of retirees, low interest rates and instability of the stock market.

My employer is terminating our pension plan, how will this affect me? The government agency Pension Benefit Guaraty Corporation will pick up pension payments when the employer defaults. Note, this agency pays a certain amount of your pension benefits on an annual basis. Unfortunately in most cases you will receive less for your annual pension amount then you would normally have received via your employer.

Is there any way to know if my employer's pension plan is in trouble? If your company is showing signs of financial trouble, normally the first thing to go is the pension plan. If you are trying to find out if your employer may be headed for financial trouble consider checking the following: financial news information on your company, newspaper financial section, stock market, business financial magazines and the internet.

I just recently found out that an employer I worked for a few years ago just went out of business. How would I find out about the status of my pension plan that I had with this employer, I've been unable to contact them directly? If your past or former employer defaulted on it's pension plan, check the Pension Benefit Guaraty Corporation website at to see if this program has taken over the handling of your former employer's plan.

Stay on top of your pension plan, by keeping yourself informed of your plan's current status. This is important because your pension is part of your retirement for your future! If you don?t stay informed about your pension, you may loose valuable funds that are important for your future retirement funds.

What To Do If You're 55 And Not Rich Yet

"

Most people in affluent countries aim to retire somewhere between 55 and 65, but what if you've reached 55 and your investment portfolio isn't up to scratch, or perhaps is non-existent. It can all start to appear overwhelming. What is the best way to start getting into financial shape?

Firstly realize that you are not alone in your plight. The statistics for the wealthy countries of the world tell us that, despite the wealth of opportunity, over 90% of retired people cannot financially support the quality of lifestyle that they would really like. In fact around 80% of retired people require some form of family or government assistance in order to support themselves at all.

If you've hit, or are around about, that 55 mark and you look like you are on track for becoming another financial statistic then it is time to get serious about creating some decent wealth for the coming years.

Serving you up platitudes or meaningless words of encouragement would not be doing you any favors, so I will be blunt throughout this article. My intention is not to offend you but to present some important realities that you have to address if you want to improve your situation.

As this is a major issue that effects so many people in our society I intend writing a series of articles aimed at helping you change you plight. In this article I will give a brief overview of the five key points that I think you need to address immediately. In future articles I will discuss specific issues in more depth.

These five key points are about changes that you will need to make in your life. Remember that doing the same things that you've always done and expecting the results to be completely different is a form of madness. In your situation such madness is a luxury that you cannot afford.

Key Point 1: You have to get rid of some bad money habits

The truth is that anyone who is serious about getting rich can achieve that goal in 10 years or less. If you think that sounds like a tall order then remember that Bill Gates became a billionaire by age thirty and since then a number of people have become billionaires even faster and younger than that. You won't need to acquire even 1% of a billion dollars in order to retire in comfort, so believe me that 10 years is plenty of time.

The offshoot of that is that if you have reached 55 and are not rich then you have a lot of bad money habits that need to change (if you didn't you'd already be rich). It is crucial to identify what those bad habits are and change them as soon as possible.

Key Point 2: You need to learn and establish some good money habits

By the same logic used in Point 1 you will also have to develop some new good money habits. Ideally these are habits that will help you earn more, spend less, and invest more.

Key Point 3: You need to change your belief system on money

This will almost certainly be the most important change that you will need to make if you are going to become wealthy within the time frame that you have. People tend to get what they expect and believe in, so it is time that you asked yourself which of your beliefs on money and wealth are no longer serving you and your goal to become wealthy.

Key Point 4: You need to change your time management

Becoming rich will require some of your time and by this stage of life you probably have some well established time habits that will need reviewing in order to free up the time you need to provide financially for the future. Don't worry though because becoming wealthy is a lot of fun; which is why billionaires still work even though they clearly don't need to.

Key Point 5: You need to get some good money education

You need to learn how to achieve a lot more financially in the next 5 to 10 years than you achieved in total over the last 35 to 40 years. Clearly this will require some special education.

While you can get some basic pointers for free, the education that you will need will have to be bought and paid for just like the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the car you drive and the house you live in. It's a fact of life so face the facts and get on with it.

Please keep an eye out for future articles that will address the above issues, and related issues in more detail. An excellent way for you to start your education would be by reading my ebook on creating massive success in your life, see details below."

Preparing For Your Golden Years

Planning for your retirement is obviously a good idea. The phrase "the earlier, the better" describes what your policy should be for handling your transition from a harried work life to your relaxed golden years. At best, take twenty four to eighteen months to prepare for this significant change in your life.

* Cleaning Up - Try to pay off any outstanding debts or fiscal responsibilities before moving on, especially those that are hedged against your retirement plan. If you don't, you'll probably be paying them out of your pension/savings and that is an incredibly bad idea for a retired individual.

* Doing the Paperwork - A year before you retire would be a good time for you to start doing the necessary paperwork for your retirement. Birth certificates, passports and other identity papers should help smooth your transition to a senior citizen.

* Health Care - Always check with the employee benefits department six months to a year before retirement. Ask them how your health insurance will change once you're not a member of the company. Depending on the answer, you may have to look around for new or additional insurance for yourself. Also, take into consideration any continuing ailments that you may have. Covering them with health insurance is a good idea, since they may take out a significant part of your retirement income.

* Budgeting For Yourself - Check what your income sources will be after retirement. This can be from your employer - with the company's own pension plan, Social Security and your own personal savings. After that, make a budget that would fit your approaching financial situation. You really need to do this well in advance, so that you may be able to change it for any required adjustments such as paying for new medical insurance and other expenses that may pop up. A year should give you a large enough margin to prepare. If you're having trouble balancing it all, a financial advisor is a good investment. Try to find one that has a good solid reputation so as to avoid any problems.

* Making a New Tax Payment Plan - Switching from your salary to your retirement income is a big change but you still have to pay taxes for that change. After retiring, contact your tax advisor on what forms you'll have to submit and how to set up a good payment plan so that you'll be able to maximize what you can out of your payout from retiring.

Do I Need $1 Million To Retire Comfortably?

Question: Do I need $1 million to retire comfortably?

Answer: Imagine a world free of alarm clocks, bosses, long commutes, office politics and limited vacation time. Wouldn?t it be nice to call the shots, spend more time with your family and friends, doing only those things that you're passionate about? You can have that life today and you don?t need $1 million!

While accumulating a seven figure portfolio is a goal for many baby boomers, it isn?t the end all be all. It really all depends on the kind of lifestyle you desire. Unfortunately, people are always coming to me and wanting to make retirement lifestyle choices and decisions based upon their age, their income or the size of their portfolio. This is a gigantic mistake! Instead, you really need to make lifestyle decisions based upon what you really want to do, regardless of your age, income, and the size of your portfolio.

Let me ask you: if money and health were no issue, how would you spend your time? If money wasn?t an issue, would you continue doing what you're doing? What types of activities would you participate in that you're not now? Who would you participate with? What is your greatest passion? If you're not doing this, what is holding you back?

I'm a firm believer that your life should be about playing and fun. The activities you participate in, including your work, should provide satisfaction and fulfillment. More importantly, the work and activities you participate in should be things you're passionate about and things that energize you! Having $1 million or more is nice, but it isn?t a necessity.

Bill's Bottom-line: Your happiness is a currency more valuable than money.

Planning For A Comfortable Retirement

Do you own a home? The good news is that a home is a source of untapped reserve cash, something that most of us do not realize. Americans are not good at leveraging the value of their homes as a financial tool to its full potential. One of the biggest reasons is the apprehension of losing the house. However, if one spends time in evaluating the various investment options, the returns on using the home for equity outweighs the risks involved. This could not have been truer than today where the interest rates are abysmally low. You can make money by utilizing the cash equity of your house and investing it in certain funds that can give you a return of 18% to 20%. A wise investment decision, even if you have to borrow money against your house.

Most of us do not comprehend most of the investment options, which include growth funds. We only know the option that has a sure bet of certificate of deposit. We fail to realize the enormous potentials that other investment options provide in making the money grow faster. One such other example is the 401k. A self-employed professional should utilize the SEP retirement option to reduce the tax liability. If not, then home equity should be used either as an investment option to add to your 401k or in creating a SEP that lets you invest in profitable and reasonably safe global growth funds.

Stock markets also offer exceptional opportunity, more so if you are some years away from retirement. There are segments of the market like the overseas market, energy market, and domestic real estate market that have the potential of sustained growth.

Reverse mortgage is another retirement option. It is not a means of putting together a corpus for retirement but helps you in utilizing the equity that you have built in your home. This can ensure that your monthly income in your retirement years is sufficient to meet your important needs like food, clothing, and medicine. This can be a saving grace if your retirement planning was not adequate. Under a reverse mortgage, a person can withdraw a monthly figure against the home equity. Since the interest payment is postponed until death, there is no need of either borrowing money to meet your expenses nor is there a financial burden of making monthly payments.

So if you are on the other side of 40 and you have not planned for your retirement, either yourself or with the help of a financial advisor, it is prudent that you initiate the process right now. You can hire a consultant who you can rely on and assess your retirement needs along with your capability of meeting those retirement requirements out of your current income. And don?t be surprised if you find that you are completely unprepared for your retirement. However, if you possess a home, it can be your saving grace!

What Can You Contribute To A Roth Ira?

Given the tax-free distributions from Roth IRAs, one is tempted to stuff every penny possible into one. Alas, the IRS isn?t particularly keen on such an approach.

The Roth IRA is a very effective tool in a life long financial planning process. It is structured in a manner that allows it to accumulate a great deal of investment earnings during your lifetime and then allows you to withdraw these earnings after retirement without having them subject to income tax. The money contributed to the plan is taxed before it is deposited and so it is not subject to additional tax.

The only drawback to this is the cap put on contributions. Roth IRA caps are set at $4000 per year maximum for people under the age of 50. People above the age of 50 can contribute an additional $1000 per year for a total of $5000. These figures will increase to $5000 and $6000 per year in 2008. After that they will increase yearly in $500 dollar increments based on the yearly inflation rate.

These caps on contributions are really only a problem for people who receive a large lump sum amount of cash in a given year and desire to put a large portion of it into a tax sheltered account for investment purposes. This is very likely the reason for the cap in the first place. The Individual Retirement Account was not intended for that kind of investment tax shelter. It was designed to provide supplemental income for life after retirement.

A few calculations illustrate this point. The maximum contribution in 2008 of $5000 equals about $416 per month or a little over $100 per week. When seen this way, the figure does not seem overly restrictive to wage earners who are just beginning their careers. Assuming that a person opens a Roth IRA at age 21 and makes the maximum contribution each year until age 65, there will be a tidy sum invested. Of course, the account owner can never go over the qualifying income level and not make any early withdrawals. Also, it would assume that the inflation rate does not rise which is highly unlikely.

The above example would mean that the worker would contribute $5000 a year for 28 years or when they reach the age of 49. They would also contribute $6000 for another 15 years until age 65. This would yield a total of $230,000 in pre-taxed contributions. The investment earnings of this much capital, even when invested in safe low yield investments, for that many years would be staggering. The bottom line is that the contribution caps are annoying, but not a critical flaw of the Roth.

Find The Right Retirement Job

Well you have retired lately. You ex-colleagues, friends and relatives are saying that you're "over the hill", but still you feel you can walk miles uphill till you settle for good finally. Moreover, you are not a person to while away time through reading, traveling and other leisure activities. In other words you want to go back to work. Yes, you can as there is plethora of post-retirement jobs. You have to know where and how to find them. If you are confident enough about your strength to slog further then here are the ideas that will help you to land up with the right retirement job.

Assess yourself. This is very important to understand your capacity and passion for the job-type that will help you and your employer in the long run. You will come to know about the skills that need brush up. Knowing your plus points will help you undergo the interview with confidence. Moreover if you want to explore new fields after retirement an assessment will clearly tell about the ones that match with your skills.

While assessing yourself check your skills that are the abilities in you to perform a task. Know you interest that is your preferences for areas of work. Also gauge your personality that is ways of processing information, making decisions, and interacting with others. There are the factors that decide your suitability for a job.

Make a good R'sum?. Don't misrepresent yourself in the bio data. Mention your qualifications that are required for the job opening. You should also insert the recent accomplishments that are pertinent to the position. If you give extensive experience, skill-set and qualifications then it may be counted as your drawback as being unfocused. Show the crafts that will make you useful for the job. Don't compose a bible on work history. As you will upload the bio-data on the internet, use your target industry's keywords so that the resume comes within the notice of the employers.

There myriad job portals these days that post jobs for retirees. Aim a specific industry and position that you want to join. Identify the organization size as well - large, small, entrepreneurial, nonprofit. Always figure out if the job requires skills that you have. Check out the options like -full time, temporary, part-time, contract, or seasonal work. If you are trying out new post-retirement careers take up positions that involve fewer responsibilities. Now shoot resumes in appropriate organizations.

If you are asked to attend an interview do it with confidence. Always explain to the interviewer that money and title are not your priorities. Stress on your attitude, skills, and the interests that encouraged you to apply. Don't take a defensive approach. If you think that the remuneration package is too trim to carry out the task, tell the interviewer that the position needs experience and know-how which you have. If asked to stay extra hours, honestly answer whether it will be possible on your part. Beside this take enough preparation to answer the technical questions related to the job field. If selected for the jobs check the policies that they have for hiring post-retirement candidates. Investing in business is also a good post-retirement option.

Key Levels For The Major Indices

Much has been made about the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) touching the key 7,500 level this week. Why is this level considered important from a historical and technical basis? And what are the other major indices, such as the S&P 500 Index (SPX), NASDAQ 100 Index (NDX), and NASDAQ Composite Index (COMP) showing on a long-term basis?

As you can see in the following chart, this area on DJIA marks the previous lows from November 2008 and 2002-2003 and was also an important technical level in 1997-1998, so it can be considered a strong support level. As you can see the following chart, if we do break sharply below 7,500, we are basically going back to mid-1990s levels in the Index.

The S&P 500 Index (SPX) has breached the 800 level which was significant in the past, but the 750 area is perhaps more important, and we have not yet touched that level this month. We are currently about 5% above that level.

The NASDAQ 100 Index tracks the performance of the biggest NASDAQ stocks -- this Index almost touched the key 1000 level in November 2008, but currently is about 15% above that level, due to the recent general outperformance of NASDAQ stocks. Some of this is due to the lack of Financial and Energy weighting in NASDAQ Indices.

The NASDAQ Composite encompasses almost 3,000 NASDAQ listed stocks. The COMP is the Index that famously hit 5,000 in March 2000 at the height of the parabolic uptrend now known as the "Internet Bubble". This Index bottomed around 1,100 in 2002/2003, and thus far we have remained above that level, both currently and in the November 2008 plunge. We currently stand about 25% above 1,100 on the COMP.

The bottom line is that we are dangerously close to making 12 year+ lows on two of the most widely followed indices, the DJIA and the SPX. However, we do we established support around and just below the current levels which one would anticipate is likely to hold (at least for a trading range consolidation). The NASDAQ indices have withstood the 2008/2009 drop much better ... but from the bearish perspective, they indicate a potential 15% to 25% more downside to their key levels. Of course, these are very long-term charts -- within the big picture multi-year trends are many short-term great trading opportunities on both sides of the market for option traders.

Wells Fargo 401k Plans Robbed -- Thousands $ Missing

According to a Minnesota TV station, a Wells Fargo 401(k) plan operations manager has been accused of robbing 401k plan accounts.

The 401k Operations Manager, who oversaw the 401k daily fund operations, allegedly disbursed money from dormant 401k accounts to fictitious names he created. He then had the checks sent to his own office and deposited the funds into his own account,

HOW THE 401K ACCOUNTS WERE ROBBED

Point-by-point, this retirement operations manager eluded what should have been Well's Fargo's own financial and procedural controls. He:

? Requested name changes on dormant 401k accounts,
? Provided false Social Security numbers for the fake names, then
? Requested the disbursements from the accounts, and finally
? Reset the account information back to the original owners.

Where were the procedural controls? At each step in this alleged theft, there should have been procedural controls to prevent someone from taking these actions without either an independent review and / or supervisory authorization.
A lack of independent review or supervisory oversight was only half the problem. The other half was bundling the record keeping and the assets under the same organization.

When a 401k plan's administration and assets are at the same organization, the risk of insiders bypassing their own procedural controls is always present.

?Five Actions You Must Take Now to Protect Your Plan's Assets.?

You put your 401k funds into the hands of those who seem trust worthy. Whether it is greed or some other need that results in the abandonment of their obligations and responsibilities to you, you need to protect yourself and your plan's assets.

Here is what you need to do now--

First:

Check with your plan administrator or record keeper to determine whether they are also holding your assets. You may find that your record keeping is being done by one subsidiary and your assets are being held by another subsidiary or division of the same company.

Second:

Request a 'sAS -70? or 'sysTrust? audit of the system, procedural and financial controls on your 401k assets.

A SAS 70 audit is designed to provide information and assurance to clients and their auditors regarding the organization's procedural and financial controls. The auditor renders an opinion on whether the controls were suitably designed, placed in operation, and operating effectively. The SAS 70 auditor's report includes the independent auditor's opinion, a description of the service organization's controls, and the results of the service auditor's procedures.

A SysTrust audit is designed to increase the comfort of management, customers, and business partners with systems that support a business or particular activity. In a SysTrust audit, the auditor evaluates and tests whether or not a specific system is reliable when measured against three essential principles: availability, security, and integrity.

Third:

Require that all Plan information changes be authorized by a Plan Representative or Trustee.

Have a standardized form that can be completed by the 401k record keeper. The data changes must then be approved by a plan representative. Often you will find that the plan representative is the one supplying both the data and the approval. Be sure to get a quarterly report of all information changes and the reasons for the changes.

Fourth:

Require that all plan participant disbursements be first approved and authorized by a plan representative.

All plans have standard distribution forms that need to be completed and approved prior to a disbursement. Make sure that these forms are being completed. Have your record keeper complete a form even if it is for an automatic rollover participant, one of those whose balance is between $1,000 and $5,000 and is being moved to an IRA. Just like the information changes, an accounting of all disbursements from the plan should be provided to you on a quarterly basis.

Fifth:

Transfer your plan to an organization that can meet your financial and procedural control requirements.

In the review of your plan's record keeper, you may find many of the necessary controls and procedures lacking or non existent. If your record keeper can not provide the types of procedures and controls that will let you sleep at night, then it is time for a change.

By implementing the five actions now you will have one less furrowed brow. If however, you can?t implement these actions now, you will be lying awake nights with one eye open for your plan's assets.
