In this episode of our Generations Financial Planning Series, Harrison DeShazo, CFP®, Associate Wealth Advisor in our Austin, Texas office, and Sean Lacey, CFP®, CIMA®, CRPC™, Wealth Advisor in our Canon City and Colorado Springs, Colorado offices, discuss financial planning considerations for Generation X — from retirement readiness and catch-up contributions to business succession planning, estate planning, insurance reviews, and navigating the challenges of supporting both children and aging parents.

June is National Homeownership Month, a great time to think about how homeownership can support long-term wealth and financial independence when it fits within your broader financial plan.

Homeownership can be a meaningful financial milestone, but it works best when evaluated alongside other priorities like:

- Retirement savings
- Investment strategy
- Cash flow planning

If you’re considering buying or refinancing a home, our team can help you evaluate how it fits into your overall plan.

For many investors, traditional IRAs represent years of disciplined saving and tax-deferred growth. But when those assets are eventually transferred to the next generation, the tax consequences may be very different than many people expect.

In this whitepaper, Thomas DiCesare, Wealth Advisor at Waverly Advisors, LLC, explores how traditional IRAs may be exposed to both estate taxes and income taxes in certain situations, creating what is often referred to as "double taxation."

Download the guide to learn:
📊 How traditional IRAs are treated differently than many other inherited assets
⚖️ Why some retirement accounts may be exposed to both estate taxes and income taxes
📋 What the Income in Respect of a Decedent (IRD) deduction is and how it may help reduce the overall tax burden
🧭 Planning strategies families may consider when evaluating retirement assets within a broader estate plan

For families with substantial retirement assets, understanding how wealth may ultimately transfer to heirs can be just as important as building that wealth in the first place.

If your 401(k) enrollment process feels complicated, participation may suffer.

Mid-year is a smart time to step back and evaluate how easy it is for employees to join, and stay engaged in your retirement plan.

Employees are more likely to engage when they understand how the plan supports their long-term goals.

Here are three key areas to focus on:
- Simplify enrollment and account management
- Make education resources accessible and actionable
- Highlight the value of the benefits

Putting a few improvements in place now can lead to better participation when enrollment season peaks and help keep employees engaged in the plan all year long.

If you’d like a fresh perspective on your plan’s data or ideas for next steps, let’s connect!
