 Dr. Digit 'Splains It All
While I love gadgets, I hate carrying things around. Part of what I don't like about shopping is that you have to carry your purchases around until you get to your car. And geek though I am, I don't like hanging things on my belt -- at least one thing my Mother taught got through to me! So I've been eying Susteen's Data Pilot software for months, because it can get my phone numbers and appointments from Microsoft Outlook on my computer into my cell phone. Since cell phones are small, I don't mind carrying one. Well, not so much as I mind carrying a PDA or a little black book.

Recently, New York State revamped the state sponsored 529 College Savings Plans. State specific 529 plans may provide specific tax benefits to New York State taxpayers. On Monday, November 7, Lansing residents Rick Prybyl and Rich Farr of Merrill Lynch/Ithaca gave an informative and educational overview of the revised 529 plan at the evening PTSO meeting. James Bozek of Columbia Advisors New York State 529 Plan accompanied the local Merrill Lynch financial advisors and answered several specific questions relative to the Columbia 529 Plan. A New York State 529 College Savings Plan provides for state tax deductible contributions of up to $10,000 per couple each year. Lump sums can be invested in the plan as well though the state tax deduction only applied to the first $10,000. Often, grandparents and parents make large lump sum contributions of up to a 529 plan. The maximum contribution to a New York State sponsored 529 plan is $235,000. This is sometimes done as part of an estate plan. Once invested, the accounts grow free of federal and state taxes. |

There are probably many things you'd rather do than talk about finances with your parents -but it's a conversation you need to have, because there is a lot that you need to discover. So, find a comfortable time in which to talk to your parents, approach the subject in as unemotional a manner as possible, and try to elicit the following pieces of information:
