Next month the condominium riders will be changing. If you are thinking of purchasing a condominium, please contact me and I can help you with these changes.

The condominium and cooperative riders will be updated on March 20 due to changes in law. The revisions are limited and address new documents buyers of certain condominiums and cooperatives are entitled to receive from sellers. Redline is attached.

Did you know that it is permissible for people younger than 55 to live in a 55+ community? This article explains how this works. The issue is residency not ownership.

The HOA rules for a 55-plus community say homes may go to younger adults in accordance with federal rules. How is it 55-plus if they do that?

GETTING READY FOR RETIREMENT

HOW TO GET READY FOR RETIREMENT

For most people, retirement feels like a long way off. But, if you don’t start preparing as early as possible, you may find yourself in a place of financial insecurity when the time does come. To avoid this, consider implementing the following tips.

1. Calculate your target savings. In general, it’s recommended that you save between 10 to 15 percent of your income for retirement. However, you can always use an online savings calculator to determine the amount you need to save for your specific needs and goals.

2. Contribute to your employer’s retirement savings plan. Does your job offer a 401(k), traditional IRA, or Roth IRA? Sign up and start saving as soon as they allow you to. It’s recommended to set up automatic paycheck deductions and, once the money is in your retirement fund, don’t touch it.

3. Take advantage of employee benefits. Many employers offer matching which generally requires you contribute a certain percentage of each paycheck and your company will then contribute a matching amount with funds of their own. They might also offer health savings or flexible savings account. By contributing to these accounts, you reduce your amount of taxable income, allowing you to save more money.

4. Pay off your debts. Start by paying off any high-interest credit card debt first. Then look at other debts, such as student loans and car payments, and make a plan for paying those off incrementally.

5. Reduce daily spending. Although this feels like a no-brainer, spending your money thoughtfully now can make a big impact later.
