 Dr. Digit 'Splains It All
Are you the kind of person who lives on the edge? In other words do you skip making regular backups of your computer hard drive? And has your computer hard drive ever crashed? Did you lose anything important? Or everything important? How long did it take you to recover from that? And do you need more space for your MP3s, or videos or pictures that you download?
I solved both by buying a Network Accessible Storage (NAS) device. That's just a fancy way of saying that it's a hard drive that doesn't need to be attached to a computer to use it. In other words if your computer is on you can access it. If your kid's computer is on he or she can access it. But your computer doesn't have to be on for your kid to use it, and vice versa. It just sits on my desk next to my modem and router. Though it wouldn't have to -- as long as you can plug it into your router it can be anywhere in your house.

Any Valentine's Day gift is thoughtful. Still, most of these presents
have fairly short shelf lives - flowers fade, chocolates get eaten
and those little candy hearts that say "Be Mine" get stale. This
year, why not give your special valentine a gift that keeps on giving
for years to come?
Specifically, consider making a financial gift. Here are a few
possibilities:
- Give stocks. You might want to give shares of stock in a company
that makes products favored by your loved one. As an alternative
to buying stocks, you could give some shares of your own. You'll
need to know what you originally paid for the stock (its tax
basis), how long you've held it and its fair market value at
the date of the gift. The recipient will need this information
to determine gains or losses when he or she sells the stock.
(You'll also need to determine if you have to pay gift taxes.
You can give up to $12,000 per year, free of gift taxes, to
as many people as you want.)

When you retire, it would be convenient if all your expenses were
to "retire" as well. But they won't. In fact, you'll likely need
between 80 percent and 100 percent of your pre-retirement income
to maintain your standard of living in retirement. And you may even
need more, depending on what you plan to do during your retirement
years. So, well before you retire, ask yourself a couple of key
questions: Where will the money come from? And when can I get at
it?
Let's take a look at some of your likely retirement income "pools,"
along with the rules governing withdrawals from these sources.
