A New Way To Look At Risk Perspective

Risk perspective is present in all aspects of our lives. We encourage you to look philanthropically with an eye on the future! Thinking about the future and doing something towards it today, helps our risk perspective. This is the same with our health! Here are a few ways you can manage risk, with a new perspective, this holiday season.

First, Consider Donor Advisor Funds

This holiday season, there is the option to donate directly to the charities. If you are not sure which ones yet or do not want to allocate your entire quota in one year, there are strategies around that. One strategy is through the use of donor advised funds. A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is a giving account established at a public charity. It allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time. DAFs can reduce tax burdens after certain circumstances, such as receiving an inheritance, selling a business, or experiencing strong market returns. You can take an immediate tax deduction when you make a charitable contribution to your DAF, reducing your tax liability. At Amida, we would coordinate with your tax advisor to determine the proper level for your tax situation and also allow you the full benefit of doing good now and into the future!

Second, Become Aware of Climate Change

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, but since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels. Your future will most likely be impacted by climate change. In other words, what you can do about it, and how can you make a positive impact today? At Amida Wealth we plant trees each year for our clients. We have tree-planting event coming up in April to celebrate Earth Month! Additionally, we have a community beach clean-up in January. We strongly encourage you to philanthropically look at the future, when considering all financial risk!

Third, Incorporate Health & Fitness During The Holidays

At Amida Wealth our fivefold elements of wealth are: health, career, finances, relationships, and personal growth. Perhaps the simplest way to reduce healthcare costs is to promote a healthier lifestyle among the U.S. population! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, healthcare costs represented just 9 percent of gross domestic product in 1980. Flash forward to 2017, and those costs represent about $2.3 trillion and is expected to rise. In other words, we must take responsibility for our health this holiday season in order to establish more balance in our everyday life. FSA’s and HSAs are pre-tax accounts you can use to pay for healthcare related expenses. To qualify for an HSA you must have a high deductible health plan. With both FSA’s and HSAs you can pay for things like co-pays medical bills and vision expenses. An FSA is like a line of credit. You can even use your HSA to pay for some Medicare expenses including your Medicare Part B, Part D and Medicare Advantage plan premiums, deductibles, copays and coinsurance.
