New Retirement Legislation On The Horizon
Last year, the House Ways and Means Committee unanimously passed landmark retirement legislation that provides significant new savings opportunities. Highlights of this legislation, which is expected to be up for a full House vote in February or March 2022, are listed below. As always, if you have any questions on how this proposed legislation could impact your long term financial plan, do not hesitate to give us a call.

U.S. Retail Sales Race To Record High
U.S. retail sales increased by the most in 10 months in January, lifting the level of sales to a record high amid a surge in purchases of motor vehicles and other goods, but higher prices could limit the boost to economic growth this quarter. This is another sign that the supply chain challenges that have impacted the economy over the past year, could be easing.

Make a Plan for Your Parents' Care
We have all heard the saying that the time to plan for something, is before it actually happens. This holds true when it comes to caring for elderly parents as well. Although many siblings feel they can provide any needed care on their own, this can be a daunting task in reality, when combined with holding down a job and caring for a family at the same time. Having a plan B is always a good idea and the time to get one in place is now. The team here at MONECO can help provide guidance and clarity, so do not hesitate to reach out to your advisor to discuss, we are always here to help!
