But despite your careful planning, it could be that Uncle Sam will be handing you a hefty tax bill while you’re living or your beneficiaries one when you die. Even people who have been great about saving for retirement don’t always realize the tax implications of what they’ve done. They may have created a significant tax probl...
FALLBROOK – Retirement can open up a whole new way of life for Americans ready to bring their working years to an end, but at least one thing doesn’t change. The IRS still keeps a watchful eye on your income including whatever amount is pulled from the individual retirement account or 401(k) that has been building into a nice, hefty nest egg for the past decades. Uncle Sam has been waiting for years – possibly decades – to tax that money because the deposits made were pretax, meaning there was no taxes paid on the income...

Gig Conaughton County of San Diego Communications Office Get ready for “buggy” spring – part two. You might be thinking that after weeks of unseasonably, unexpected, wintry cold weather around San Diego County we’ve seen the last of this spring’s increased numbers of insects. Maybe. But it’s more likely that the cold is just a speed-bump for our “buggy” spring and that we’ll continue to see lots of bugs when normal spring temperatures return in the coming days. That’s because bugs are still chowing down on green growth pro...

First, let’s consider Medicaid, the federal-state program that finances health care for the poor and long-term care for the middle class. Virtual... Full story
