As you take time today to give thanks for all that you have, we wanted to share a special video that asks the question: “what is enough?” DHG Wealth Advisors is joined by author Morgan Housel to discuss how our expectations influence our sense of well-being, how to get the goal post to stop moving and why even some billionaires don’t feel rich.

If you typically have a required minimum distribution, that could be because you were over the age of 70 ½ in 2019 and own an IRA or retirement plan, or you inherited a retirement account in 2019 or earlier, in either case, the CAREs Act provides the opportunity to skip that distribution for 2020.

As part of the CARES Act, which was passed by congress in late March, “qualified individuals” may withdraw up to $100,000 from retirement accounts without the normal 10% early withdrawal penalty. The window to take a distribution and avoid the penalty ends December 31st, 2020.
