How the SECURE Act changes retirement planning for you and your children and grandchildren is worth knowing. Here’s a handout you might enjoy as you view the videos below about the SECURE Act.
The SECURE Act (Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement – they had a government committee up all night working on that one) was passed in December 2019 and and the 2.0 add-on was passed in December 2022. With roughly 100 provisions, mostly around retirement plans, you can imagine there’s both good news and bad news. Despite it’s title, there are some provisions that do more to secure the government and the I.R.S. than the tax payers.
However, there is some good news, too: more time to save, more ways to save, new ways to use your money, etc., but the death of the stretch will provide a lot of payback for the government.
Most of these provisions are effective 2024, but others are pushed out to 2028 – and the impact is far-reaching, all the way from the silent generation to the Gen-Z’ers who will be the recipients of a great wealth transfer in the coming decades.
The benefits that come today, however, do carry a price tag that may very well be paid by our children and grandchildren – securing the government’s income rather than their own.
