AARP Finance - AARP chief executive officer Mr Novelli has recently written to Secretary of the Treasury to demand that mandatory withdrawals from 401(k)retirement plans for people over 70 be cancelled due to the current financial crisis.

Currently AARP members over 70 are forced to withdraw a minimum amount each year (by 31st DEC) from their retirements plans based on the value of the plan at the end of the previous year. Failure to withdraw the minimum amount incurs a 50% tax charge. Due to the stock market upheaval some fund may have lost up to 40% of their value and and is not the time to be forced to cash in hard won savings.

Some AARP members financial difficulties could on the other hand be helped also if the 20% early with withdrawal funds from 401(k) plans was temporarily withdrawn, which would release much needed cash.

Withdrawing money from retirement funds is not to be taken lightly as is reduces expected income in retirement and at the moment most funds are at rock bottom they will take some time time perhaps years to reach their previous highs.

One alternative for AARP members to putting money into a retirement plan is to invest it in a successful joint venture such as promoted by Tomorrows Home Business which over a period of ten years can provide a 15% returns way above the interest earnt by placing money on deposit The secret of creating money is to make best use of investments which compound results.

AARP Financial news today is is generally good, with markets around the World generally moving upwards as the USA lowered it base rate to 1%, it lowest ever. AARP members and others who have loans or finances will hopefully see up to 0.5% reduction.

Consumers in Iceland have recently seen interest rates rise to 18% a jump of 6% following the $2 Billion loan form the IMF.

Hungary yesterday was also bailed out by the IMF to the turn of $28 Billion and the news prompted a rise in both their currency and stock market.

AARP members should be aware that the costs of any rescue package has to be paid by someone, as Icelanders now know its going to be a long hard winter.

House holders in the UK are still struggling with some 70% of owners having to face the fact that the continued fall in house prices resulting in their loans exceeding the value of their houses. Perhaps and interest rate cut her might help, but at the moment no institutions are lending money.

The main question on the lips of members of AARP is have the markets reached rock bottom. Stock and shares are at bargain basement level compared to the past twenty years. Multi-Millionaires like Warren Buffet are prepared to take the risk but who is prepared to follow them?

UK Pension funds have lost 33% of their value, or £187 Billion during the last 12 months, due to falling stocks and shares.

The bad news illustrates to members of AARP the likely effect on their own 401(K) retirement plans.

Now is certainly not the time to retire unless AARP members are lucky enough to work for a company that provides some kind of final Salary pension as is offered by some companies in the UK.

Yes the DOW rose 900 points yesterday and this might be a sign that the worst is over, however there is a long way to to. Hopefully stock markets around the world will also provide a positive response bouncing back from record 5 year lows in the USA and UK.

AARP members have been following the frightning ups and downs of the stock and might be wary of investing in the future, but what choices are there?

1. Put it under the bed and it will lose value due to inflation

2. Place it on deposit at a low rate of interest

3. Or invest in your business

Smart AARP members are investing in their business because reinvesting income back into a business will grow the business and produce better results.

Now is probable the best time to buy into a business, but only a few AARP members have sufficient funds to purchase a business outright. So what about the rest.

Starting a business from scratch might not appear to be the right option either due to business set up costs, buying stock, marketing etc, however there is another solution.

Tomorrows Home Business, has a proven business plan and model which produces results, because it is partnered with a health and wellness company who take care of all the marketing, selling and delivery of products. Leaving the AAARP member the opportunity to buy its existing customers and earn commissions.

AARP Health

Many AARP members wonder if their "senior moments" might be signs of Alzheimer's. Dr. Murali Doraiswamy of Duke University has written a new book, "The Alzheimer's Action Plan: The Experts' Guide to the Best Diagnosis and Treatment for Memory Problems,"

Doraiswamy describes screening tests, how to differentiate Alzheimer's from other types of dementia, and how to tell normal forgetting from problematic forgetting. He also reviews the latest prescriptions for slowing memory loss in Alzheimer's patients.

Most important, he emphasizes, is for AARP members to detect the disease early, before major damage sets in. Early warning signs to watch for include:

• The memory loss is getting progressively worse.
• Friends and family are urging you to get a checkup.
• You can't remember what you forgot. Whole pieces of your past experiences are missing, and your memory can't be jogged.

It has been proved that sublingual B-12 can improve memory retention and can reduce the risk from the disease. If AARP members actively aim to protect their memory retention by attending memory clinics and taking extra vitamin B-12, they will enjoy a better lifestyle in their senior years.

Research is ongoing to the find genes which cause and might prevent Alzheimer's but at the moment there is no cure.

AARP Finance - The Week has started the way the previous week finished with stock markets around the world continuing to fall. Recession is a reality but how should one deal with the consequences.

The first thing AARP members need to do is not to fall into the trap of taking on further loans. Stop using credit cards wherever possible unless you can pay them it in full.

AARP members need to reduce all unnecessary spending.

Normally when stocks reach rock bottom its is time for AARP members to commit more money to 401(k) plans in the hope that stock will rise and increase the value of their savings, the problem is twofold, knowing when to buy and guessing how quickly stocks will rise.

A more conservative plan might be to buy into an existing successful business but few people have the funds to do this, so an alternative might be to start a business in partnership with Tomorrows Home Business who have a business model which shows a rate of return which exceeds most returns on stock investments and is inflation proof. Full details are available by contacting us.

AARP counterparts in the UK have been given some good news regarding state pensions.

Thousands of women who took time off to look after children will be able to boost their state pensions under a top-up scheme announced by the Government.

Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell is proposing an amendment to the Pension Bill enabling people to buy up to an extra six years of National Insurance contributions.

Each extra year of National Insurance contributions adds around £160 a year to the state pension that people are entitled to. But the UK Government is increasing the cost of buying extra years from its current level of £420 per year to ensure the move will not cost it anything, although it has not yet said what the increase will be.

The UK Government estimates that around 550,000 people will be eligible to buy up the extra years, but in reality it expects only around 20% of these to take advantage of the scheme.

Mr Purnell said: "By 2010 around 75% of women reaching state pension age will be entitled to a full basic state pension, rising to over 90% by 2025, compared to around 35% today. However, we are mindful of the potential disadvantages faced by those who do not have a full work history, mostly women and those with caring responsibilities."

It will be interesting to see if if the USA Government will offer AARP members any ways to increase their pensions during these difficult times, or will they have to continue to take matters into thier own hands by producing residule income to live on from home businesses such at Tommorow's Home Business.
