CORNING CHAMBER Fundraiser for boy set Friday Hampton Inn & Suites Red Bluff has received a 2016 TripAdvisor Certifi- cate of Excellence Award. Now in its sixth year, the achievement celebrates hospitality businesses that have earned great trav- eler reviews on site over the past year. To qualify, a business must maintain an overall bubble rating of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews and must have been listed for at least 12 months. "We are proud to be rec- ognized by TripAdvisor with a Certificate of Excel- lence Award," said Roger Kumar, general manager. "This honor is a testament to our dedication to excep- tional customer service. We appreciate our guests giving us excellent rat- ings on this site and help- ing us to achieve this rec- ognition." The motel is at 520 Adobe Road in Red Bluff. AWARD Local inn gets nod from website If you're an older mem- ber of Generation X — that is, if you were born in the early- to- mid-1960s — you may have a lot of "balls in the air." You are saving for your own retirement — which might not be that far away — while at the same time possibly want- ing to help pay for your children's college educa- tion. And you may also be assisting your aging par- ents in some ways. How can you manage this jug- gling act? To begin with, you need to emphasize your retire- ment. Now that you are likely in, or near, your peak earning years, you should contribute as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or other employer- sponsored retirement plan. Your plan likely of- fers you a range of invest- ment options, so you can create a portfolio that's ap- propriate for your needs. The money in your 401(k) or similar plan can grow on a tax-deferred basis, and your contributions are typically made with pretax dollars. So, the more you put in, the lower your an- nual taxable income. You won't have to pay taxes until you take withdraw- als, but if you do withdraw money before you reach 59½, the withdrawals may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty. Even if you're contribut- ing to a 401(k) or similar plan, you're probably still eligible to contribute to an IRA. Like a 401(k), a tra- ditional IRA offers tax-de- ferred growth potential, while a Roth IRA can pro- vide tax-free earnings dis- tributions if you've had your account at least five years and don't take with- drawals until you're at least 59½. If you devote most of your investable income to your retirement plans, you may not have much left to help pay for your children's college education. But that may not be a disaster — after all, they could get scholarships and financial aid. And even if they need to take out student loans, they have a lot more years to pay them back than you have until your retire- ment. If you can afford to help your children, choose a smart college-savings ve- hicle, such as a 529 plan, which offers tax-free earn- ings distributions as long as the money is used exclu- sively for qualified higher education expenses. (If it's used for other purposes, you'll be taxed on it and also could face a penalty.) How about your elderly parents? How can you best help them? Hopefully, they will not require any outright financial assis- tance from you — but that doesn't mean you can't as- sist them in other ways. If you haven't already done so, try to find out as much as you can about their es- tate plans and any ar- rangements they've made should they become inca- pacitated. Ideally, you'll want to get answers to questions such as these: Have they named a du- rable power of attorney? Have they chosen an ex- ecutor for their estate? Have they thought about how they would pay for any long-term care ser- vices they might need, such as a nursing home stay? It may not be that easy to have these conversa- tions, but they are impor- tant — especially if you are going to play an active role in your parents' plans. Clearly, as a Gen-Xer concerned about retire- ment, college-age children and aging parents, you'll have a balancing act in- volving both money and time. But with planning, patience and realistic ex- pectations, you can help yourself and the ones you love. Thisarticlewaswrittenby Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.
