Glassett, who works i trade sales for Pella Widows ad Doors ad also serves as a o-call firefighter i Bristol, said he wats to see the tow cotiue the progress it has made over the last two years. I wat the tow to keep movig forward, Glassett said, but there are some who wat to hadcuff that progress.

Glassett believes that comparisos with other tows do ot take ito accout the trasiet populatio or the iflux of people from surroudig tows who come to Bristol to shop or for services. Populatio aloe does t accurately reflect the eed, he said. I do t feel they re lookig at the right umbers. What couts is calls for service. You eed to look at the i-custody arrests ad feloies. He also argues that the safety of officers is importat. To be out there at 1 a.m., ad the earest backup is at least 15 miutes away, is puttig that officer i dager, he said. He cocedes that Aderso s suggestio that the tow use part-timers to fill the eed is a great idea, but recruitig part-timers is difficult. People are too busy, ad you ca t get part-timers to get certified ad work for a departmet. Typically, part-timers are workig for other departmets, or are close to retiremet.

4 Opiio A4 Thursday, FEBRUARY 15, 2018 Causes ad dagers of distracted drivig BY DEB NARO Cotributor Distracted drivig goes beyod textig ad drivig. Did you kow that the leadig cause of distracted drivig crashes happe whe tees are iteractig with other passegers? Other factors of distracted drivig iclude cell phoe use, lookig at somethig iside or outside of the vehicle, movig to music, groomig, ad reachig for a object. It is more importat tha ever to educate tees ad parets o the dagers of distracted drivig. The Natioal Trasportatio Safety Board (NTSB) has log bee cocered with the issues of ovice drivers ad distracted drivig. A recet study shows that drivers who were egaged i phoe coversatios were less aware of traffic movemets aroud them. Usig a hads-free uit does ot elimiate the distractio of havig a cell phoe coversatio while drivig. Educatio should be a key compoet of ay effort to reduce the risk of traffic collisios resultig from cell phoe use; some believe educatio could prove to be more effective tha sactios. Youg drivers do oly 20 percet of their drivig at ight, but more tha half of crash fatalities of tee drivers occur durig ighttime hours. The risk of a crash ivolvig a tee driver icreases with each additioal tee passeger i the vehicle. Distractios occur whe drivers cocetrate o somethig other tha operatig their vehicles, such as egagig i cell phoe coversatios (or eve watchig DVDs!). The Natioal Highway Traffic Safety Admiistratio (NHTSA) estimates that 25 percet of all crashes ivolve some form of driver distractio. A recet NHTSA survey foud that early 75 percet of drivers reported usig their phoe while drivig ad a estimated 60 percet of cell phoe use takes place behid the wheel. Drivig safely ca be challegig eough whe full attetio is give to the road ad its potetial hazards. Drivig while operatig a cell phoe, adjustig the radio, or eatig ad drikig ca be potetially dagerous. There are thigs you ca do to avoid distractios while drivig. Drive carefully ad resposibly, ad cocetrate o the road, ot o the coversatios aroud you, the music that is playig, or the fried callig o your cell phoe. Parets should cosider limitig the umber of people i their tee s car. Adjust vehicle cotrols, such as radios, air coditioig, or mirrors, before begiig to drive or after the car is o loger i motio. Do t reach dow or behid the driver s seat, pick up items from the floor, ope the glove compartmet, clea the iside widows, or perform persoal groomig while drivig. Put your cell phoe away while drivig; let voice mail pick up your calls ad aswer text messages after you stop. Stop your vehicle to use your cell phoe to report crime, emergecies, accidets, or dagerous drivig situatios. If you must use your phoe while drivig, pull off the road, stop, ad the dial. Payig attetio while drivig will save lives. For more iformatio about ways to prevet distracted drivig, visit SADD at org.

We adopted him out but his ew dotig ower realized after three moths, that work time ad Trevor Time were Trevor ot compatible. Youg Trevor has bee ejoyig caie erichmet ad rehabilitatio here at New Letters to the Editor To the Editor: I recetly testified before the New Hampshire House Muicipal & Couty Govermet Committee i favor of the New Hampshire Commuity Rights Amedmet, CACR19. Local people from the tows of New Hampshire do ot fid it difficult to uderstad how the structure of law ad govermet work to dey us our idividual rights eumerated withi our state Bill of Rights. There s bee cocer expressed over whether the proposed state costitutioal amedmet is proposig ulimited Home Rule for NH muicipalities, after all, New Hampshire is a Dillo s Rule state! Dillo s Rule is a legal doctrie that says tows are oly empowered to eact laws permitted by the State. The State is the paret, the Muicipality is the child. Home Rule is a legal doctrie that empowers tows to pass laws that are ot specifically prohibited by the State. The problem is that both doctries allow preemptio to override local law-makig that affords greater protectios tha provided by state ad federal laws. I would describe CACR19 as a limited home rule amedmet, offerig a arrow portal of allowable muicipal laws that are ot subject to puitive preemptio, thereby protectig muicipalities from certai kids of legal actio. Ad, clearly, we do ot have to be a home rule state to empower muicipalities with forms of home rule authority. As a matter of fact, we already do! Durig the Oasis Oil Refiery debacle i the mid-70 s, the legislature saw fit to pass HB 18 leadig to RSA 31:109 ad 47:27, which reaffirmed the Tow s home rule decisio-makig To the Editor: This is the 36th of my regular reports o what is happeig i the legislature i Cocord. Over the last week or so, my time was devoted to committee hearigs. The full House will ot meet util the Stadig Committees complete more of their work. Plus, today is a sow day so I drove to ad from Nashua for my wife s radio show. But the, we flat laders are a hardy lot. The Crimial Justice Committee, o which I serve, voted Ought To Pass (OTP) the bill to prevet Female Geital Mutilatio (FGM) 21:0. I was more tha pleased. I expect the bill to pass the full floor vote, after which it proceeds to the Seate. I hope they cocur. I reviewed the sigup sheets for opiios ad testimoy. No oe registered i oppositio. This speaks highly of you, who took the time to clearly state that this barbarous practice should ot be allowed i New Hampshire. The committee also voted to ed Drivig Uder the Ifluece check-poits. Whe all the rules for otificatio ad ispectios are applied, these check-poits they lose their effectiveess. Officers catch more by patrollig. Thus removig eight to 10 patrol cars from the road to coduct a check-poit is ot a productive use of resources. The bill was voted OTP 12:8. The bill ow goes to the full House for a up or dow vote. I was o board oce I heard how ieffective check-poits are. The Committee voted agaist the reductio of pealties for first time drug offeders 18:1 Hampshire Humae Society.

We offer such classes at NHHS. Of course ayoe would be smitte with his uusually marked coat, but look past that ad see i those big brow eyes a dog that eeds love ad compaioship, structured play ad exercise i a home that will keep him egaged. Are you that someoe? Call check authority over refiery sitig i both tows ad cities. Govermet is supposed to protect the people ad regulate corporatios, ot protect corporatios ad regulate the people. Yet the curret structure of law ad govermet reders the people withi a commuity as abused childre; corporatios as the abuser; with the state as the eabler of the abuse through the issuace of lad-use permits that legalize the abusive activity; the the courts are there to protect the abuser from the abused whe they attempt to stop the abuse! If I were truly speakig of a abused child, there would be outrage over such a system that would legalize child abuse, protect the abuser ad puish the abused for tryig to stop the abuse, ad yet I am talkig about childre; their mothers, their fathers, ad other family members too.

The moutais kow to the geologists as the Blue Moutai Pluto stood agaist the southeaster sky. It was a scee I d see coutless times before, except that this time a couple of thigs made it differet. First, there was that certai agle ad itesity of the light. Secod, there was the hadiwork of oe Robert (a.k.a. Baker Bob ) Vashaw. Way back whe, Bob helped my parets out with all kids of stuff, thigs ot made easier by time, ad ow he helps me, the kid of geeratioal thig about the North Coutry we both love. I his real life he s the head baker at the Moutai View Grad i Whitefield, oe of New Hampshire s few remaiig (ad vibrat) ties to the days of the grad hotels Bob had bee throwig sow aroud to make a little space i the scheme of thigs for Millie, who is a dog but does t kow it. Her tiy form has to have some place to exist i a lad of deep sow. She is, after all, as logtime cribbage parter Norma Lay used to say so protectively about ay tiy creature, just little. Bob s shovelig gives Millie a ruway of sorts for her outside patrols, which believe me o a 25-below ight are BY LARRY SCOTT There are four foudatioal priciples to which every thikig ma should give careful attetio: origi, meaig, morality ad destiy. He ca, obviously, igore them as of little iterest, but that will ot chage the facts. Each of these issues is critical to his perceptio of life ad death, ad where he comes out will have a profoud ifluece o his jourey through life. We have, i this colum, give cosideratio to our origi ad the meaig of our existece; today: morality, or more specifically, situatioal ethics. Does the situatio, doig what is desirable, perhaps choosig the lesser of two evils, make right what is udeiably wrog? I Chapter 1 of his book, The Morality Gap, Erwi Lutzer tells that i Los Ageles there is a group of busiessme ad their wives who gather for a party every Friday eveig. Before they leave, the ames of the wives are placed i a hat ad passed aroud the room. That eveig, NORTH COUNTRY NOTEBOOK By JOHN HARRIGAN pretty damed brief. I summer, she lalligags. I times of deep sow ad 20 below, ot so much. There was somethig about the way the sulight was catchig the sow, ad the bold outlies of the moutais, that made me ru for my camera, the way I ve bee ruig for cameras ever sice I got my first ewspaper job at the Nashua Telegraph, back i I d ever worked at my parets ewspaper i Colebrook. It was all ew to me. The day before, o a whim built o bitter cold ad sowmelt ruig dow my eck as a yard had at the Lorde Lumber Compay i Milford, I d bamboozled a job at the Telegraph, a afteroo daily with a circulatio of 21, the secod-largest daily paper i the state, behid the statewide Uio Leader. The Telegraph had hired me as a darkroom traiee, ot as a reporter or photographer, ad I kew utterly othig about either. Noetheless, City Editor Mike Shalhoup stuck a aciet four-by-five Speed Graphic ito my hads a couple of morigs after I d bee hired, ad growled Go get me a frot page picture. Which I did, totally by happestace Newspaperig, which I ve bee at for early 50 years ow, each ma goes home with the wife whose ame he selected. This would be quite justified if oe accepts the positio take by Joseph Fletcher i his book, Situatio Ethics: The New Morality. If you ca do it i love ad o oe is hurt, he tells us, it just might be the proper thig to do. I oe of his examples, a Mrs. Bergmeier, after beig take prisoer by the Russias durig the secod world war, leared that she could be released from priso oly if she were ill or pregat. Realizig that her family desperately eeded her, she asked oe of the camp guards to impregate her, ad, shortly, she was home agai with her family! Justified? I believe Philosopher Aldous Huxley hit the ail o the head whe he wrote, Those who detect o meaig i the world geerally do so because for oe reaso or aother, it suits their books that the world should be meaigless (Eds & Meas, p. 270). For myself, as o doubt, for most surely has its rewards, or else I would t have bee here this log. Oe of them is bumpig ito some very uusual ad iterestig people, ad you ever kow just where or whe. A while back, I wrote somethig about sowrollers, those huge barrel-like rigs draw by teams of horses or oxe ad used to pack dow sow so people could get out ad about ad get to tow with their sleighs ad pugs. This brought a woderful card, with sogbirds all aroud it, from Strategies for Livig Joh Harriga The light was just right to sed me ruig for the camera, this time ot the old 4 by 5 Speed Graphic I d traied o 50 years ago, but istead a ewfagled digital. Courtesy A sow-roller ad team ready to go, champig at the bit somewhere up i Maie. of my cotemporaries, the philosophy of meaiglessess was essetially a istrumet of liberatio from a certai system of morality. We objected to the morality because it iterfered with our sexual freedom (p. 273). We would agree with Fletcher ad other situatioists that love, geuie, carig, committed love, has a sigificat ifluece o the decisios we make ad the priciples we live by. But love is ot licese, ad for the Christia, our directives come from God s Word. Jesus said, If you love me, keep my commadmets (Joh 14:15). As per Erwi Lutzer, Whereas the ew moralists thik that love Euice Vittum of Bristol. I oh-so-eat hadwritig, she told me of her girlhood days i earby Plymouth, ad what life was like i the days of sowrollers ad sleds ad sleighs. Thak you for your colums, which appear i the Bristol Eterprise, she wrote. I remember the days of the two-horse team ad woode sow plow. I Plymouth ours was draw by a beautiful team of chestut-colored horses. I dowtow areas, kids, dogs ad sheer Situatioal ethics: right or wrog? must be defied by huma beigs ad tailored to meet each situatio, biblical writers hold that love is served by keepig the commadmets of God (The Morality Gap, Chapter 8). We have see i recet days what happes whe idividuals get off track, meaderig through the dark days of life without ay sese of directio. What do you do with a geeratio where every ma is a god uto himself? As always, I seem to come back to where I started.

The you slid the protective cover back ito place ad flipped it ad pushed it back i for your ext (ad probably last) shot, uless your subject stood still. It was a hard camera to ru, ad it s hard to make some people believe that my traiig preceded the advet of the 35mm sigle-les reflex, but it did, ad with this old ad cumbersome rig I did some of the very best photographic work of my half-cetury career.

BY MARK PATTERSON Goig back about eight years ago I recall very vividly that o the Friday morig whe the job umbers were aouced, market actio was extremely predictable. At 8:30 a.m., the umber of jobs created by our the ecoomy was ot good, which made the equity futures market go egative slightly, but typically by the ope of tradig the markets were headig up. Durig that period of time, bad ews for the ecoomy was good ews for the equity markets. Does t make sese at first blush but it explais what is puttig our equity markets ito a corrective phase. The Federal Reserve ope market committee has stated that full employmet ad iflatio that is reasoable are their madates. So, whe those job umbers came out poor goig back about eight years ago, istitutioal traders ad ivestors believed that the Fed would cotiue moetary easig which meas lowerig iterest rates o the very short ed of the yield curve. The Fed put us i a spot where you could o loger be a saver i low risk, fixed icome istrumets such as CDs or treasuries. It forced us ito the equity markets to divided payig stocks, master limited parterships, real estate ivestmet trusts or eve high-yield bods a.k.a. juk. Whe the Friday jobs umber came out i early February, we are seeig a reversal of the past decade. The jobs umber came out very strog, the market forces raised iterest rates believig that the Fed would be raisig to quell iflatio which has bee oexistet i recet times. The, the air started to come out of the equity markets. Ulike 2008, our ecoomy is fudametally soud. The last real market correctio i 2008 culmiatig i 2009 was i respose to some real uderlyig issues with mortgages ad derivatives coected to them. Black Swa evets such as 9/11 will always disrupt the equity markets, but what we are seeig ow should ot paic ayoe that was ivolved with the quick ride up i equity values over the past year. If you had all your moey i stocks ad did ot diversify your portfolio you should ot be surprised to be leadig this correctio o the dowside. If you are approachig retiremet or i retiremet ad you are relyig totally o the equity markets for growth ad did ot diversify your portfolio, do ot bury your head i the sad ad wait for thigs to tur aroud. Call a advisor who works as a fiduciary ad have them begi the process of structurig your ivestable assets for a more ormalized market. I do believe after this correctio we will retur to growth i the equity markets, just ot i the melt up fashio we experieced i Jauary.

13 The Rest of the Story A13 Court FROM PAGE A1 have to istall idividual meters for each uit. Chartier said Karyl Court is a uique situatio, havig a sigle master meter for the etire complex. Most codomiium associatios istall idividual meters so each ower is resposible for his ow water usage. He oted that water rates are lower for idividual meters, which are charged the residetial rate, while a sigle master meter gets charged at the commercial rate. The miimum uit charge for residetial meters is $31.19 per quarter, with a overage charge of $5.03 per 100 cubic feet of water beyod the basic 500 cf. (3,740 gallos) allowed. The commercial rate is $33.76 per quarter, plus $5.60 per 100 cf. after Glassett FROM PAGE A1 tow hall ad covertig the existig muicipal buildig ito a police statio, Glassett sees it as a absolute eed; otherwise, we re kickig the ca dow the road. Bristol has attempted to address space eeds for two decades, but voters have rejected previous buildig plas. The curret pla has bee scaled back from the origial proposal i face of public resistace to the cost. We eed to make sure it s the right pla, Glassett said. I wat voters to be able to decide, ad if it passes, we eed to see it s doe right. The biggest thig is that it have o further impact o the tax rate. Glassett said this is the time build, while iterest rates are still low. Delayig the project will icrease the Pastor FROM PAGE A3 Sherrill Hall. (Holy Spirit s former home at 170 Mai St. i Plymouth, ow owed by PSU, has a ew future i store as a spiritual space for the uiversity commuity, Rev. Kelly otes.) Sherrill Hall is also the home of a mothly commuity breakfast, hosted by church members ad frieds. The ext breakfast is Saturday, Feb. 24, from 8-9 a.m., with St. Mark s famous Frech toast, fruit, juice, eggs ay style, baco, sausage, home fries, Eglish muffis, coffee, ad tea o the meu. All are welcome, says St. Mark s seior warde Deb Hollad. We ivite you to joi your eighbors ad frieds (old ad ew) the first 500. The tow s miimum water ad sewer charges cotiue to accrue, eve whe the water is tured off, Chartier said, because it is cosidered a availability charge for the distributio, collectio ad treatmet systems that are i place. These charges support bod paymets, staffig, a portio of system maiteace ad repairs, he explaied. The overage charge is the portio of the rate that represets what it costs to keep the water flowig, ad the treatmet of the wastewater, such as pumpig cost, chemicals, electricity, a portio of system maiteace ad repairs, ad ay other cost that may factor ito movig the water ad wastewater throughout the distributio, collectio, ad treatmet system ad processes. Overage charges are ot charged to customers whe their water is off, he said. Two of the uits already had istalled separate meters by the time of the shutoff, ad aother put i a meter to restore its water supply after the complex was shut dow. A fourth uit met its eeds by carryig water ad usig a camp shower. All four were still liable for their portio of the commo water supply, ad they paid separately to remai up to date with their portio. After Hebert purchased two uits ad took over as presidet of the codomiium associatio, he recoected the master meter ad ra pipes through the hallway to his uits, accordig to Chartier. Whe the tow leared of it, they cost of both buildig ad bodig. Yet Glassett does ot support the selectme s decisio to lower the amout of borrowig by applyig moey that ormally would go ito some capital reserve accouts toward the buildig project. I believe we should stay with capital reserve accouts. They re there for a reaso, he said. Capital reserve accouts allow the tow to set aside moey for future capital eeds, as outlied o the Capital Improvemet Pla that prioritizes spedig to avoid spikes i the tax rate. If eough moey is ot set aside, taxpayers i future years will have to make up the differece i higher taxes. Detractors say the moey set aside gets eate away by iflatio, ad it forces taxpayers to pay ahead for equipmet or improvemets they may ot be aroud to see. Glassett said that, by stickig to the capital improvemet pla, the tow saves for aticipated expeses, takig ito accout whe curret bods will be paid off. The it looks like little or o impact o the tax rate, he said. We have a reasoable tax rate, he said, ad for what we pay, we get excellet services. He cited the tow departmets, as well as the library ad dowtow improvemets, as examples of what the tow has accomplished. The little amout that could be saved has little impact o the tax rate, Glassett said. You do t jeopardize public safety to save a few dollars. The biggest challege, he said, is to accomplish all the tow is tryig to accomplish over a hot, delicious breakfast. Griswold Hall i Plymouth is wellkow as a commuity meetig space, icludig beig home to umerous 12-step groups. I additio to Suday services, the Episcopal churches i the Pemi-Baker Valley will be offerig may opportuities to study ad worship durig the week durig Let, the 40- called i the police departmet to ivestigate what they cosidered theft of services. No charges were filed, sice the water was beig metered, but the tow demaded that the remaiig 12 uit owers without meters agree to istall idividual meters. Hebert said the list price for the meters was $800, which would make the total cost $18,000, which he foud to be exorbitat. Hebert complaied about the situatio to the Bristol Board of Selectme i a Ja. 2 , sayig that to expect the 12 remaiig uit owers to agree to istall idividual meters was overly optimistic. The overwhelmig majority of these owers were behid i their codo fees by may thousads of dollars;...seve of these uits were curretly i a reasoable amout of time ad withi a reasoable budget. I have a decet amout of leadership ability, Glassett said. Every great leader eeds great leaders below them, ad to you eed problem-solvig ability ad be able to look outside of the box. He said it s good to have aalytical ability, but oe eeds to put the huma factor first. There are itagibles ivolved, he said. There are eeds of the commuity ad tow employees that you do t just cast aside ad just look at the umbers. He cocluded, I wat to see us maitai the course we re o, but be prudet ad reasoable whe it comes to spedig. I do t wat to arbitrarily cut spedig. The biggest reaso I m ruig is for our commuity. day seaso of reflectio ad preparatio that precedes Easter. The full schedule of Lete services, which begi with Ash Wedesday services o Feb. 14 i both Ashlad ad Plymouth, is o our Holy Spirit website, at holyspiritplymouth. org, says Rev. Kelly. Easter service times for Suday, April 1 are listed there, as well. i litigatio ad the remaider would likely soo be, such that obtaiig writte coset from all 12 of them so as to effect this coversio would be impossible, he wrote. Hebert also asked that all water ad sewer fees billed from March 3, 2017, util wheever the existig commo meter is properly coected should be waived i full, ad the re-coectio of our water service should be udertake immediately! The selectme agreed to remove the requiremet that all owers had to agree to idividual meters before turig o the water, but idividually, each ower would have to istall a meter i order to have water service. The selectme also agreed to waive the portio of the water ad sewer fees accruig betwee November 2017 ad the ed of March 2018, ad waived the impact fees ad labor costs associated with the istallatio of the meters, which lowered the per-meter charge from $600 to $485. They also agreed to hold the rates to the old level, rather tha implemetig the 5 percet icrease that selectme had approved at the ed of The reduced rates will be offered through Ja. 1, 2019, after which regular rates would apply. Hebert remaied determied to fight the charges, claimig the tow had iflicted the associatio with $97,000 i gross damages. They left us with o water for 10 moths, util madatig the ew meters. They just gave me a ultimatum, ad wo t talk with me. They told me I was persoa o grata ad would t eve let me come ito the buildig. Tow officials dey tellig Hebert ot to come ito the Bristol Muicipal Buildig. Code violatios Lad Use Maager Christia Goodwi said that problems with Karyl Court predated her employmet with the tow. She first got ivolved with the complex i 2013, after learig of documeted complaits about trash buildig up i the commo areas ad lack of hot water, ad i oe case, o workig refrigerator. There also were complaits about broke steps, doors, ad widows, failure to remove trash from the outside bi, ad life-safety code violatios. By the time the tow shut off the water, the associatio s failure to pay its electric bill had resulted i Eversource shuttig off power to the buildig, so Goodwi said there was o heat i the commo area, ad the tow had cocers about pipes freezig. Whe the selectme agreed to waive some of the fees to make it easier for the owers to istall idividual meters, Fire Chief Be LaRoche also set the associatio a letter, outliig the steps it would have to take to meet state fire codes. Amog them: oly owers, ot teats, are allowed to occupy the uits util the fire ad life-safety cocers are addressed; the o-operatioal fire alarm system eeds to updated ad tested; emergecy lightig must be istalled; hallways ad exits must be free of obstructios; ad a rear door has to be replaced. Goodwi iformed Hebert that ay costructio with a cost of more tha $2,000 would require a lad use permit from the tow. I m takig care of all the issues relatig to fire safety, Hebert said, addig that alarm specialists will be istallig a ew system, alog with emergecy lightig, o Feb. 21, ad LaRoche is scheduled to come ad test the equipmet that afteroo. I ll be all set with the fire departmet, ad I ever had a problem with them, Hebert said. This is all about the water. I do t eve have a problem with the idividual meters; I would just like some kid of break o the cost. The tow maitais that the cocessios the selectme made have provided the break Hebert has bee seekig. Tows FROM PAGE A6 cadidates for the vacat Tow offices.

Paid Advertisemet Paid Advertisemet Paid Advertisemet Paid Advertisemet Paid Advertisemet You may ot get much of a thrill from filig your taxes, but the process becomes much more ejoyable if you re expectig a refud. So, if oe is headed your way, what should you do with the moey? The aswer depeds somewhat o the size of the refud. For the 2017 tax year, the average refud was about $2,760 ot a fortue, but big eough to make a impact i your life. Suppose, for example, that you ivested this amout i a tax-deferred vehicle, such as a traditioal IRA, ad the did Edward Joes: Fiacial Focus ot add aother pey to it for 30 years. At the ed of that time, assumig a hypothetical 7 percet aual rate of retur, you d have slightly more tha $21,000 ot eough, by itself, to allow you to move to a Caribbea islad, but still a ice additio to your retiremet icome. (You will eed to pay taxes o your withdrawals evetually, uless the moey was ivested i a Roth IRA, i which case withdrawals are tax-free, provided you meet certai coditios.) Of course, you do t have to wait 30 years before What Should You Do With Your Tax Refud? you see ay beefits from your tax refud. If you did decide to put a $2,760 tax refud toward your IRA for 2018, you d already have reached just over half the allowable cotributio limit of $5,500. (If you re 50 or older, the limit is $6,500.) By gettig such a strog head start o fudig your IRA for the year, you ll give your moey more time to grow. Also, if you re goig to max out o your IRA, your large iitial paymet will eable you to put i smaller mothly amouts tha you might eed to cotribute otherwise. While usig your refud to help fud your IRA is a good move, it s ot the oly oe you ca make. Here are a few other possibilities: Pay dow some debt. At some time or aother, most of us probably feel we re carryig too much debt. If you ca use your tax refud to help reduce your mothly debt paymets, you ll improve your cash flow ad possibly have more moey available to ivest for the future. Build a emergecy fud. If you eeded a ew furace or major car repair, or faced ay other large, uexpected expese, how would you pay for it? If you did ot have the cash readily available, you might be forced to dip ito your log-term ivestmets. To help avoid this problem, you could create a emergecy fud cotaiig three to six moths worth of livig expeses, with the moey kept i a liquid, low-risk accout. Your tax refud could help build your emergecy fud. Look for other ivestmet opportuities. If you have some gaps i your portfolio, or some opportuities to improve your overall diversificatio, you might wat to use your tax refud to add some ew ivestmets. The more diversified your portfolio, the stroger your defese agaist market volatility that might primarily affect oe particular asset class. (However, diversificatio, by itself, ca t protect agaist all losses or guaratee profits.) Clearly, a tax refud gives you a chace to improve your overall fiacial picture. So take your time, evaluate your optios ad use the moey wisely. This article was writte by Edward Joes for use by your local Edward Joes Fiacial Advisor.
