Cover Story We run our most newsworthy and timely stories here. Articles run the gamut from general investing advice, specific stock, bond and mutual fund recommendations, to what’s going on in the long-term-care insurance market, what’s ahead for Social Security and how to prepare for Medicare’s new prescription-drug benefit.
Managing Your Finances Managing Your Finances covers how to invest and manage a retirement portfolio, including advice on diversification, asset allocation and rebalancing. We write extensively about IRAs, 401(k) plans, savings bonds andannuities, as well as income, investment and property taxes and ways readers can minimize their taxes — we cover all the important topics that directly affect our readers’ finances.
Estate Planning Our readers want to put their affairs in order and leave as much as possible to loved ones. Their first priority is usually the well being of their spouse, but many readers want to help their kids and grandkids through college and leave vacation homes to their children. We provide information on wills, trusts, various estate-planning strategies and the tax-smart ways to leave these assets to beneficiaries.
Managing Your Health KRR provides in-depth coverage on getting the most from Medicare, your employer’s health plan, managed care, long-term-care and COBRA insurance. We educate readers on continuing-care retirement communities (CCRCs), assisted living and nursing homes, the cost of Medigap insurance and help readers find the right policy for the best price.
Travel/Leisure/Living We report on great retirement areas and active-adult communities; offering solid advice on how to evaluate potential retirement spots here and abroad. Plus, great vacations, exciting getaways, fabulous festivals and hotels, travel bargains and protecting yourself with travel insurance.
