Message from Lynn: Dear Friends: Talk of taxes, lay-offs and bankcard theft can cause anxiety for all of us. These unpleasant topics are usually avoided and ignored, but they are in fact the ones we should research, discuss and plan for. November's edition of MoneyWise will analyze tax benefits for soldiers, provide information to help you make the most of severance pay and explain the potential risks of debit cards. At this time of year when we are busy enjoying the holiday festivities, we should also make time to look for year-end tax planning opportunities and monitor our bank statements for unauthorized deductions. It is also a good time to meet with your CPA or investment advisor for a financial check-up before the close of the year. Please enjoy this month's edition of MoneyWise. I hope you find the articles valuable.	November, 2004 Issue archived past issues ... F R E E ... Click here to sign-up and begin receiving your free subscription of MoneyWI$E.
