The Power of Attorney – Another great Financial Planning Tip:
With the vacation season coming, dust off that Power of Attorney document and take a look!
This document frequent comes in two forms, both very powerful.
- Financial Power of Attorney
- Health care Power of Attorney
These documents can be an invaluable part of your Estate plan. Be sure we have a copy too, for easy access. These powerful documents are relatively simple, and usually only a couple of pages in length.
Just how tough this last recession was
This neat adjustable graph comes from the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank research. What stands out is just how deep the recession was. Because it was so deep, it is not surprising that the recovery is taking so long. The sicker we are the longer it takes to get well.
This is one of the longest recoveries on record, in part due to the severity, while not predicting another recession … the longer we go in this business cycle the faster we approach our next slowdown … our radars are up!
