    2. Our quote this week is from Mother Teresa on staying true to your values

    3. Why not increase taxes on the wealthiest Americans and invest in working class families to lower costs for ordinary Americans

    4. My spouse and I share the same values about money. The challenge is that we both spend too much, have credit card debt, and are susceptible to keeping up with the Joneses. How do we adopt more healthy financial values?

    5. I’m 70 years old and have 2 million in IRAs? Should I convert 200k a year to Roth IRAs? I was told that may be a smart decision.

    6. Should I refinance my mortgage and use that infusion of capital to invest?

    7. Instead of taking all my income, someone suggested that I have 30% go to my Family foundation to save taxes. Only stipulation is that I need to pay 5% out every year to charity. What are your thoughts on this strategy?

    8. Timely & Actionable Idea: Expressing your values through proper philanthropic planning.
