Homeowners in Savannah Georgia that are looking to transform their home with a new kitchen, bathroom, or home addition rely on Savannah Georgia general contractor American Craftsman Renovations. We specialize in all types of home remodeling services and can help you create the space you want for your home. Here are some remodeling ideas that are becoming more and more popular amongst homeowners in Savannah. 1) Separated Vanities and Closets: Depending on your budget and space, installing two separated closets/storage spaces and two separated vanities to create individual spaces for spouses is becoming very popular. This allows each person to have exactly what they want in their very own space. Another popular feature in master bathrooms is a separate shower and bath tub. Creating a large walk in shower and separate soaking tub is a great way to enhance your space and increase the value of your home. 2) Eat-in Kitchens: Often times older homes do not have large, welcoming kitchens, but depending on your budget and space – we can fix that. Gutting your kitchen and its cabinets to create a larger, more open space will create a more inviting feel to your kitchen. Moreover, a recently renovated kitchen Read more…

Done Right The Benefits of a Qualified Plan Can Help During Your Golden Years
The main benefit is saving for retirement. Employers who perform economic due diligence on the use of defined benefit plans, defined contribution plans or a combination on both are likely to design the optimal retirement scheme for their company and employees. Often employers use the benefits to recruit top talent and retain skilled employees that are highly valued. Many times those who generate income for the firm are called “rainmakers” and are highly sought after in competitive markets. Even highly organized operational experts that run the day-to-day operations are of equal value to a company. Some organizations use additional compensation perks that are generally discriminatory and categorized as non-qualified plans to lure major players in the market place and retain the bench strength of their existing personnel. Qualified plan benefits can save significant tax dollars every year. In addition, defined contribution plans like 401(k)s allow individuals to defer up to $18,000 of income (2017 limit). And for older contributors ages 50 or more can contribute an extra $6,000 into your 401(k) plan in 2017. The sum of employer contributions and your salary deferral contributions cannot exceed $54,000 in 2017 ($60,000 for individuals over 50 years of age in 2017). Jodie Read more…
Qualified Retirement Employer Plans May Make the Difference for Future Seniors
Defined Benefit Plans are one of the most useful of all retirement plans that can favor the older business owner with large income tax deductions while securing significant retirement and estate benefits. This is a brief outline of the potential benefits of these plans. Actual benefits must be calculated and certified by a qualified actuary. General Plan Design: These plans work best when the business owner(s) are older than the general employee population. A Defined Benefit Plan favors older employees because larger contributions are required in light of the shorter time to retirement. Contributions are mandatory each year based on the plan’s benefit formula, unless that formula is amended prior to the accrual of any benefits during the plan year (i.e. first few months of the plan year) or if the plan is terminated. These plans are best suited for those companies that have consistent profits and have a need for ongoing business tax deductions. Integration of a Defined Benefit Plan with a 401(k) Plan: We will strive to have the benefits of the non-key employees funded in the 401(k) plan, while the Defined Benefit plan will fund the benefits for the owners and older employees. Plan Contributions by the Read more…
CBD Unlimited’s CBD Oil And CBD Concentrates For Inflammation Pain Relief Provide Fast Pain Relief
CBD Unlimited’s CBD concentrates and CBD oil for inflammation pain relief can be a natural pain relief alternative to many prescription medications and otherwise expensive commonly available treatments. Medical research continues to advance our understanding of cannabidiol, and with it, a broadened understanding of just how many potential medicinal benefits it can bring. CBD, or cannabidiol acts as an agent of homeostasis throughout the body, bringing about balance and a natural equilibrium where before there was none. These effects can most commonly be seen in the mitigation of pain-like symptoms. Cannabidiol can provide more than pain relief: as a regulator, CBD has been shown to help quell dopamine irregularities that could give rise to anxiety and migraines, minimize the growth of harmful cancerous cells, and even minimize inflammation throughout the body, wherever it’s found. Perhaps the greatest overall benefits of CBD Unlimited’s pure hemp extracted CBD oil for sale and CBD isolate products are that they can provide these benefits, with no real side effects. Studies have shown that if CBD has been shown to create the side effects of dry mouth and slight nausea, these effects have been traced back to impurities within the hemp by which the CBD Read more…

The 529 College Savings Plan
The federal formula for assessing how much a family can pay for college is strictly focused on the finances of parent and child. So 529 plans opened by grandparents go uncounted in the federal calculus. In distributing their own aid, however, colleges often look at all 529 plans that name the student as beneficiary. So even if the strategy works for the federal-aid calculation, it won’t necessarily work for the institution’s own aid assessment. – From Wall Street Journal; December 18th, 2006 Here are a couple of lines taken from CSS Profile, Section Q #521) Enter the total value of assets held in Section 529 college savings plans that were established for the student by someone other than the student’s parent(s) #523) Enter the estimated amount that will be withdrawn for the student for the 2017-2018 academic year from Section 529 plans established for the benefit of the student. If you own a 529 Plan, make sure you have a competent college funding advisor examine it BEFORE you apply for financial aid. One last thought: 529 Plans are often funded with mutual funds and ETFs. A lesson learned during the “lost decade” (2001-2010) is that markets are volatile. The S&P Read more…
