REITs, or real estate investment trusts, are companies that own or finance income-producing real estate across a range of property sectors.

One of the largest requirements in our lives is the need of healthcare insurance. I am dismayed at the number of people who think they cannot afford healthcare options.

A unique opportunity to teach a child about investing is to create an investment account and include the child in the conversations regarding, management of the assets. There are three types of accounts that I choose to recommend based on the financial situation of the investor. The three plans are:

Scripture gives us an abundance of advice regarding financial stewardship, and although it does not specifically say “co-signing”, we can gather enough information relating to the topic to know that it is not a good idea and here is why:
It doesn’t really help. The reason the person needs a co-signer is because the lender doesn’t have confidence they borrower can pay. Could it be that we perpetuate the problems of poor credit or money management issues by co-signing? Wouldn’t wisdom tell us that s...

Christmas has turned from a day of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ into the devil’s holiday as materialism consumes our thoughts. God knew we would struggle with materialism as it is valuing the physical over the spiritual. Matthew 6:19-24 Jesus warned about the three deadly dangers of materialism.
First, materialism is deadly because it consumes a person. Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal” (verse 19). Earthly wealth...

Instead of selling their potentially taxable appreciated assets, benevolent clients might want to donate the shares to a qualified charity. The process can be a little tedious, but not much more than selling the asset, calculating the cost basis, incurring capital gains taxes and then writing a check.
If the appreciated asset is worth more than what the clients would like to donate right now, they should look at placing all they wish to get rid of into a donor advised fund (DAF).

Scripture relating to debt, investing, giving, and sin is found throughout the gospels. God knew we would struggle with stewardship and the amount of instruction on money management within the Bible is proof of this. With money being such an important topic, I find that the trend of investing online with Robo Advisors and cheap online stock trades alarming. People become very confident in their investing abilities during bull market runs and under confident when a correction or recession occurs. At no time does the act of obedient...

These are tumultuous times. We have the issues with the pandemic, politics, and social divisions across the globe. People are genuinely concerned. During these troubled times it is important to focus on the guidance God has delivered to us regarding our stewardship. King Solomon gave wonderful advice concerning diversification.

Investments of this sort are made with after-tax money. They are purchased and held in tax-deferred accounts, plans or trusts. Returns from these investments are taxed on an annual basis.
With non-qualifying investments, typically the investor is under no annual restrictions on the amount they can put towards such assets. This can offer more flexibility in some regards compared with qualifying investment accounts, which typically have maximum amounts that may be contributed depending on the type of asset. For i...
2020-11-2817 minRevolutionary Stewardship Podcast with Jay Dee SchurzQualified Plans Available to YouAs we continue to discuss building a God honoring financial plan, we begin to discuss the third building block of the plan, which is qualified investing. The most common options for qualified investing are dependent upon your type of employment. For those that are self-employed or work at an employer that does not offer a retirement plan, the traditional IRA and Roth IRA may be an option you use.
A traditional IRA is an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), established in the United States by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) (Pub.L. 93–406, 88 Stat. 829, enacted September 2, 1974, codif...

A question that is asked in regards to starting a financial plan is “Should I pay off my debt before I start a financial plan?” That is a great question and one that needs addressed. My opinion is that starting a financial plan by having your protection planning (Life insurance, health insurance, home and auto insurance) is a priority to attacking the debt issue. Creating an aggressive plan to pay off unsecured debt requires one...

An emergency fund is the 2nd building block of a financial plan and is critical to have in place for a myriad of reasons. Many planners advise that 6 months of income is an adequate amount of funds to set aside for emergencies. I believe that the amount depends on your circumstances. If you are a small business owner, then your emergency fund may need to be larger to bridge you through things such as non-essential business closures. I would suggest for the average family, a minimum...

You can discover the number by answering an in-depth series of questions. The first number needed in the equation is current debt.

One characteristic of life insurance is that the death benefit is tax free to the named beneficiaries under normal circumstances. A majority of assets held in the United States today are held within qualified accounts, such as 401ks, IRAs, 457 and 403B plans. These qualified accounts are taxable upon distribution to your spouse, children, and other people. You can pass a qualified account to a spouse without creating a taxable event until the surviving spouse takes distributions. Non-spouse beneficiaries are required to...

One of these uses addresses eliminating a potential problem with people who are partners or co-owners of a business. What happens when one owner passes away? What happens to their share of the business? Life Insurance can be used to provide a remedy for this issue by providing financial funds for a Buy-Sell agreement.

Sometimes change happens voluntarily and sometimes involuntarily. We are destined to make the same mistakes and stay in a rut of poor stewardship if we are not willing to make a change. Change may require us to stop using debt, may require us to live with less, may require us to be more aggressive with the amount of money we save. The world says there is no need for change, but scripture gives us a path to contentment we cannot find elsewhere.

In today’s world, the overwhelming issue is that money is dictating the behavior of people. In 1 Tim 6:10 we are told that the love of money is the root of all evil. I can attest to validity of that statement. Money cannot physically harm us, but the decisions we make on how we use the money or the thoughts we have on how to save, give away, or spend that money is a mirror of our faith.

Kreisky Forum TalksMartin Schürz: ÜberreichtumDer antike Philosoph Platon verstand unter »Überreichtum« exzessiven Reichtum, der nicht glücklich mache, weil er nicht tugendhaft sei. Das Thema ist zwar alt, doch es wird nach wie vor kontrovers diskutiert. Denn die weltweite Vermögenskonzentration ist enorm und soziale Ungleichheit ein beständiges Problem.
Wie Vermögen verteilt wird, ist keine private Frage. Sie geht alle etwas an. Gerade Gefühlszuschreibungen sind für die Akzeptanz der Privilegien der Überreichen bedeutsam: Neid und Hass werden vorwiegend den Armen als Laster zugeschrieben, Großzügigkeit und Mitleid den Überreichen als Tugenden. Wer eine gerechte Gesellschaft will, muss zuerst verstehen, wie Vermögenskonzentra...
