An interesting note from the Associated Press posted in The New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2013/05/29/business/ap-ap-us-breadwinner-moms.html?_r=0 It is also interesting that more women are watching football and having heart attacks – I wonder if these are related?

Eight guarantees retirees can count on
I like this article about guarantees in retirement. The items in it, while not really guaranteed to happen, would lose you money most of the time betting against them. See this posting from MarketWatch in the Wall Street Journal by Paul Merriman:http://www.marketwatch.com/story/eight-guarantees-retirees-can-count-on-2013-05-22Even if these things are not guaranteed but just likely to be true, following this advice will probably make you wealthier over time.For financial, accounting and tax musings,You can count on us to count for you! email bstonercpa@sbcglobal.net phone 818-317-6035 Website www.briantstonercpa.com

If they don’t have the money to do the job, where does the buck stop anyway?For financial, accounting and tax musings,You can count on us to count for you! email bstonercpa@sbcglobal.net phone 818-317-6035 Website www.briantstonercpa.com
