Here is our November 2017 Monthly review. If you are too busy to read, feel free to listen as we describe our post and thoughts in friendly podcast format.
In our post here this month, we reminded all of those with birthdays between 7-1-46 and 6-30-47 that have the unique option of deferring their first mandatory RMD taxable distribution to next year, but if you do that will mean you need to take two distributions in the same year.
Considerations:
Higher/Lower Income
Bigger/Smaller Expenses
More/Less Donations
The first year is the only time we get this option, all the future years are mandatory with not option.
Capital Market Comments
A lot of positive indicators – Markets taking notice
It appears the US and Global Economies are finally making a synched recovery. Capital Markets are taking notice.
As we mentioned here, Unemployment rate hit a very low 4.1%
This time, International Markets have wind in their sails as well….
