Delaying your Social Security and pulling more retirement funds from your IRA until age 70 could help minimize the risk of outliving your assets.

Many people have enough saved for retirement to claim Social Security later than they do, according to a new study.

Starting a small business as a C Corp should be highly considered now that the tax rates have been lowered and provisions like the Qualified Small Business Stock exist.

529 plans are a great way to save in a tax-efficient manner for your child's education. Providers are cutting fees to stay competitive and many states are offering tax incentives to save in these plans.

Mutual funds must pay out distributions for gains incurred within the funds - which causes a taxable event for the holder even if they don't sell.

Investors have good options to avoid the taxman.

Great article that puts health care costs in retirement into perspective. The average cost is around $5,000 per year per person that increases at a higher rate than general inflation. However, it varies substantially based on your health risk factors.

The anxiety is real — and so are the expenses — but the situation might not be as bad as some imagine.

If your itemized deductions are now lower than your standard deduction because of the new tax law - consider alternative ways of charitable giving like stacking deductions inside a Donor Advised Fund or making Qualified Charitable Distributions directly from your IRA when you are over 70.

The TCJA’s higher standard deduction makes before-tax giving more attractive.
