Planning ahead isn't about expecting the worst. It's about protecting the people and the life you've built. Meet a couple we'll call Mark and Linda (Names have been changed for the story). At 58 and 56, they watched Linda's mother spend down most of her savings on care in her final years. They didn't want their own kids to face those same hard choices someday. So they sat down with us to build a long-term care plan. Together, we:• Looked at what care really costs in our area today, and what it may cost later• Reviewed benefit amounts, waiting periods, and inflation protection• Chose long-term care coverage that fit their budget and their goalsFourteen years later, Mark had a serious health event and needed help with daily activities. Their policy helped pay for in-home care and later assisted living. Their retirement savings stayed on track, and Linda got to be his wife, not his full-time caregiver.The best time to plan for long-term care is before you need it. If you've been putting off this conversation, let's have it.Names and some details have been changed to protect client privacy. Individual results will vary.

As we approach the end of the year, Roth conversions start to come up more often in our financial planning conversations.So, what is a Roth conversion?It’s moving money from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. You generally pay income tax on the amount converted today, but qualified withdrawals from the Roth are tax-free in the future.When might a Roth conversion make sense?• During a lower-income year when you're in a lower tax bracket• During a down market, when you can convert more shares at a lower value• Before RMDs and Social Security increase your taxable income• When you have cash outside the IRA available to pay the tax• When it makes sense within your overall financial planThe goal isn't always to pay the least tax today. It's about being intentional about when you pay taxes over your lifetime.Roth conversions can be a powerful tool for creating greater tax diversification in retirement.If you're considering a Roth conversion this year, let's take a look at whether it makes sense within your overall financial plan.For disclosure information, see thrivent.com/social. While Thrivent does not provide legal or tax advice, our financial advisors and professionals can work with you and your attorney or tax professional. State tax rules may differ from federal rules governing the tax treatment of Roth IRAs and there may be conflicts between federal and state tax treatment of IRA conversions. Consult your tax professional for your state's tax rules. If requested, a licensed insurance agent/producer may contact you and financial solutions, including insurance, may be solicited.
A head start for their financial future.Trump Accounts are new, and many families are starting to ask questions about them. In short, they're a new type of investment account that can be opened for a child under 18, with the money staying invested until adulthood or beyond.For eligible children born between 2025 and 2028, the U.S. Treasury will provide a one-time $1,000 contribution once a parent or guardian makes the required election.That $1,000 can be a meaningful head start – but it raises a better question than “Should we open one?”The better question is: “What are we trying to accomplish for this child?”Saving for college is different from saving for a first home. Saving for a first home is different from building wealth over decades. The goal should pick the tool – not the other way around.That’s where thoughtful financial planning can make a difference.See thrivent.com/social for important disclosures.
