Soldiers from conflicts and battles comprise a familiar group of veterans. There are also veterans who served during peaceful times too. As veterans age, unique issues and problems arise. Many are from advancing age and many are related to particular conflicts and service demands.

More Americans take risky gamble of loans against their nest eggs

Burned by plummeting home prices and steep credit card fees, a growing number of U.S. consumers are tapping 401(k) accounts for extra cash.

The activity has grown in recent years and is peaking at the moment as workers crack open retirement accounts to bankroll holiday gifts. It remains to be seen, however, how many will be able to patch those nest eggs up again.

Almost 19 percent of the country’s 50 million or so 401(k) participants have loans outstanding on their accounts, up from 15 percent five years ago, according to data from the Investment Company Institute. Consumers have borrowed hundreds of billions of dollars from the roughly $3.2 trillion in 401(k) accounts.

And the loans are spread across workers of all ages and income levels.

Paul Guthrie, a senior analyst on space exploration at the Tauri Group, siphoned $25,000 from his 401(k) to buy a condominium in downtown Washington in early 2009."

The Best Inheritance ~ La Mejor Herencia




Your beauty...  got wiser with years... 
I can admire it on your beautiful white hair...
Your love... turned sweeter with time...
It shines in your eyes...
Your strength...  grew stronger...
I can feel it in your heart...
Your hard work.... turned in to a great harvest...
and I am part of it...
Your joy... became our own...
and your faith in Jesus became our own and that's the best inheritance you could ever leave us...

Tu belleza... ha adquirido más sabiduría con los años...
La puedo admirar en tu hermoso cabello blanco...
Tu amor... se tornó más dulce con el pasar del tiempo...
Brilla en tus ojos...
Tu fuerza... se hizo más fuerte...
La puedo sentir en tu corazón...
Tu arduo trabajo... ahora es una gran cosecha...
Y yo soy parte de ella...
Tu gozo... se volvió nuestro gozo...
Y tu fe en Jesucristo se volvió la nuestra y ha sido la mejor herencia que nos hayas  podido dejar...
