Gold IRA

We discuss an instrument for retirement planning, which is the gold IRA, a specific type of investment retirement account, or simply, IRA. While there are much more benefits of gold IRA than disadvantages, it comes also with its pros and cons. There are many differences between having a gold IRA than having physical gold stored.

We have studied the gold Roth IRA and compared a gold IRA versus a Roth IRA.

Moving from an investment portfolio to another has some nuances: so I explain you how to buy gold in IRA, how to go from TSP to gold IRA, and how to do a gold IRA rollover, what is the transfer of funds from a traditional IRA or 401(k) to a self-directed gold IRA.

I explain thoroughly the gold IRA cost, so these are the gold IRA fees for the custodian plus the transportation costs, and any additional cost for an optional withdrawal or distribution.

The silver and gold IRA tax rules are very strict, the gold or any eligible precious metal cannot be stored at home, so you need a gold IRA custodian. For this purpose, we have reviewed the best gold IRA companies and curated them so we have Birch Gold Group review, Augusta Precious Metals review, Silver Gold Bull, Noble Gold, Advantage Gold, American Hartford Gold, American Bullion, Gold Alliance, Goldco, Rosland Capital, Miles Franklin Precious Metals review, RC Bullion, American Coin Co, and Lear Capital.

One of the recent news, is the issue of the prospective capital gains tax on Australian Kangaroo Gold Quarter Ounce coins in an IRA. This will give more confidence to investors.

Asset Protection

We analyze what is asset protection and how to structure an asset protection trust to protect your personal assets. That type of trust is a legal instrument coming with its pros and cons and two main options: An asset protection trust as a revocable trust versus an irrevocable trust, where we prefer the latter.

So that means that our preferred option is not the revocable asset protection trust. I explain this better in a comparison between asset protection trusts vs living trusts.

The activity of setting up a trust for asset protection is relatively complex and has its costs, depending largely on the number of beneficiaries, the US states where these asset protection trusts are available and the assets transferred to the trust.

Travel To Mexico

I have updated my list with the safest cities in Mexico, and the safest cities in Baja California where I spent a couple of years. I can tell you now where is the cheapest and safest place to live in Mexico. Nevertheless, there are places to avoid near the border, with some of the safest Mexican border towns which are Las Piedras and La Misión.

I had to decide which are the safest resorts in Mexico, normally boutique hotels and all- inclusive hotels with security access, and beach guards in an already safe city. Those selected and relatively secluded resorts are also the safest place in Mexico to vacation with the family.

Those lists have to be compared with the list of cleanest cities in Mexico.

My Favorite Things To Do In Mérida

So I have a shortlist of the best things to do in Mérida, notably the Mayan World Museum, some of them unique things off the beaten path. In particular, what to do in Merida at night, like pub crawling, dancing, and some upscale restaurants. Also, for those lazy dazs, things to do in Mérida Centro, where we can find the majority of activities, such as the several free walking tours which start downtown. I have also a list of few free things to do in Mérida.

I tell you where to stay in Mérida, which are the best hotels, in particular, fancy boutique hotels.

My Travel To Bucharest

We visited a few of the best cities in Romania, cities with a wealth of activities to do. Our favorite city is Bucharest because it has a lot of things to do, some very unusual. Bucharest is cheap, very safe, and has also free activities too.

Most of those best things to do are in the Old Town (Centrul Vechi), at night, and suitable for couples.
