Retirement Planning Consolidation or Multiple Accounts
Retirement Planning Consolidation or Multiple Accounts when working with those planning financial retirement is one question keeps coming up. Should I consolidate all my accounts or keep them separate? Chances are that you have several diverse types of retirement accounts from different companies you have worked for along the way. (“Retirement Planning Guide”) This is not necessarily a terrible thing but can be frustrating to try and keep track of.
Combining these funds can be a tricky endeavor as many of them are designed to only mate with like accounts. For this reason, most 401 (k) plans can only be combined with another 401 (k) the same holds true for many other common retirement accounts including a 403 (b). The one type of account that can accept them all and consolidate them together is a rollover IRA. (“Retirement Planning Guide”)
Having only one account can simply so many aspects of your retirement that most people wonder why they did not do this from the very beginning. There are many more benefits than mere ease that goes along with consolidating your accounts and eliminating those extraneous accounts. One of which is the fees that are often charged simply for having the account. These fees can add up over the course of several different accounts and consolidating them into one lone account will eliminate the fees of all the others.

One misconception that people have when it comes to rolling over their accounts is that they will lose their investment options. This is especially a misconception when it comes to a 401 (k) program as if you own a particular investment while it is a 401(k) you will still own the same investment when it’s within your IRA account.

In other words, a rollover IRA account offers the ultimate flexibility when it comes to your financial retirement needs. You can consolidate all your accounts into one, have all the information in one location and still enjoy the freedom that all the different accounts allowed you to experience in your investing.

If you are looking for the best when it comes to financial freedom for your retirement investments, you should take the first available opportunity to consolidate your investments into a rollover IRA. Of course, you should discuss this with your financial advisor first to see if there is a better situation for your unique and personal needs however in many cases the convenience factor of this process is far too tempting to overlook unless there is an excessively big and specific reason for doing so.

In other words, consolidation is very much the way to go when it comes to your retirement funds. You do not, however, want to sacrifice the diversity of your plan in the process.

You should keep your actual investments as diverse as possible to ensure a well-balanced portfolio that is designed to maximize your profit potential while minimizing your risks. There is no absolute right or wrong answer, and it quite literally comes down to a matter of preference. If you thrive in chaos, then keep five or six accounts going at any given time. If you need neat lines and nice rows that balance out in a glance, then consolidation might be the absolute best thing you can do for your retirement fund. (“Retirement Planning Guide”)
Dealing With Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease is the type of dementia that is most frequently seen among the older population. It is characterized by a worsening of the person’s cognition, particularly in thought, memory and in language, a progressive decline in his ability to perform activities of daily living and may even be accompanied by changes in his behavior.
Dealing with Alzheimer’s can be incredibly stressful for the individual as well as for his loved ones. “The progression of the disease may render the person in need of total care as it affects even the most basic skills necessary for his daily existence.” (“Home Health Aide Help – Blogger”)
Let us take mealtimes, for example. For a person with Alzheimer’s, even nutrition may pose as challenge. There are normal physiologic changes that come with aging, such as a diminished sense of taste and smell, and indeed, these may affect the individual’s desire to eat. But when dealing with Alzheimer’s, the person may even forget to eat or in other cases, he may want to eat but has forgotten how to prepare meals. (“Home Health Aide Help – Blogger”)
Through the course of the disease, he may eventually lose his table manners and may have difficulty in swallowing. Agitation and distractibility may also develop. To alleviate these problems, caregivers would often find it necessary to call their loved ones to remind them to eat or instruct them step by step on how to prepare meals. Small, frequent meals are more in line, and finger foods that are high in calories would be provided. (“Home Health Aide Help – Blogger”)
Decreasing the environmental stimuli, by taking extra utensils off the table and using bright, solid-colored plates may address the easy distractibility. “And to encourage self- care, the person may be provided with spoons with large handles rather than forks and bowls rather than plates.” (“Home Health Aide Help – Blogger”)
Nutrition is just one of the many hurdles when dealing with Alzheimer’s. People with Alzheimer’s disease often need assistance with other activities of daily living such as bathing, toileting and changing. It is necessary to balance this need for assistance with as much independence as possible. The caregiver must allow the person to do as much as he can while providing the least amount of help. For this, patience and flexibility are crucial. (“Home Health Aide Help – Blogger”)
Dealing with Alzheimer’s can be fulfilling for the caregiver but can be as draining as well. Losing a loved one in this way is heartbreaking. (“Dealing with Alzheimer’s Disease – Stay at Home Senior Care”) “Dealing with Alzheimer’s is one of the most difficult jobs in the world as one may tend to lose sight of his own needs as he cares for his loved one.” (“Home Health Aide Help – Blogger”) When in stressful situations, one needs to take even better care of oneself. “It is in these circumstances that people often realize how strong they could really be for their loved ones.” (“Home Health Aide Help – Blogger”)
