What Should You Do With an Inheritance?

If you were to inherit a large sum of money, what would you do with it? The question may not be hypothetical, especially if you are in the millennial, Gen X or Gen Z demographic groups. That’s because the baby boomers – often referred to as the richest generation in history – are poised to transfer some $30 trillion in assets over the next few decades, according to the consulting firm Accenture. Of course, this is a “macro” figure, and everyone’s situation is different. Furthermore, since baby boomers are living longer, more active lives, the total amount passed on may end up being considerably less than the estimate. Nonetheless, you may well receive a medium-to-large inheritance someday, and when that day arrives, you’ll need to decide how best to use your newfound wealth. Your first move may be to do nothing at all. Generally speaking, you have enough time to decide how to handle the various elements of an inheritance, although if you are inheriting an investment vehicle such as an IRA or a 401(k) plan, you will eventually have to make some decisions about liquidation or withdrawals. (And since these accounts may carry tax obliga- tions, it’s a good idea to consult with your tax advisor fairly soon after you receive your inheritance.) But if a big part of your inheritance simply consists of cash parked in a bank account, there’s nothing wrong with moving the money into a cash management account at a financial services company until you decide what to do with it. However, after some time has passed, you may want to put your inheritance to good use. If you’re already working with a financial advisor, you might want to get some guidance on how to use your new assets to strengthen your existing investment strategy. Do you have any gaps in certain areas? Can you use the money to help diversify your holdings? Diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect against all losses, but it can help reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio. And, of course, if your inheritance is large enough, it may permit you to “max out” on your IRA for years to come, and possibly free you to have even more of your salary deferred into your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement account. Plus, you could use the money for other long-term goals, such as funding a tax-advantaged 529 college savings plan for your children. IRA? Don't wait You also might use part of your inheritance to donate to the charitable organizations you support. Due to recent changes in tax laws that caused many people to stop itemizing their deduc- to contribute. tions, charitable groups are in more need of support than ever.

4.61 Miles? Altitude Change of 400 Feet? No Prob — They’ve Got This e-Ticker Sports Moody Park Site of Annual All Out Trail Run

CLAREMONT, NH—On Saturday, July 18, the Clare- mont Parks & Recreation Department held the All Out Trail Run as part of the Western NH Trail Running Series. Other series events (except for a run scheduled in Octo- ber in Newport) were cancelled due to COVID-19 con- cerns. But once department director Mark Brislin reviewed the recently issued New Hampshire State guidelines for races, he knew Claremont had to continue the tradition. In only one week, 49 runners registered. From middle schoolers to a 70-year-old, from as far away as Dor- chester, Mass. and as close as Myrtle Street here in town, everyone was eager to put their pandemic-spring training to the test. With COVID-19 protocols in place, runners went to the starting line in small waves to avoid crowding and maintain social distancing. Each wave took off 60 seconds after the one before to space themselves along Moody Park’s narrow trails. The top male and the top female finishers won North Country Smokehouse brunch boxes, stocked with sausage, bacon and kielbasa. Top three finishers in each age category will receive an email, linking them to an on- line survey where they can choose their prize: either North Country Smokehouse bacon (to be picked up at Clare- mont Spice & Dry Goods) or a free race entry to the Chili Cook-Off 5K later this year. All proceeds go to the Parks & Recreation Department, which offers a wide array of fitness classes and programs at its Claremont Savings Bank Community Center and in the City’s 10 parks throughout the year.

Just over 125 athletes ages 3 to 14 in the Claremont Youth Soccer Association have taken to the playing fields in Monadnock Park for a six-session “skills and drills” program organized by the City’s Parks & Recreation Department. Following COVID-19 guidelines for youth sports, no games are played. All players, 19 volunteer coaches, and parent “teammates” abide by the 6-foot social-distancing requirement for health and safety.

Inspiration

Zucchini

By Priscilla Hull

Boy, oh boy, July is here and it is really should be named Zucchini month! I love zucchini and all the things we can make from it. My favorite zucchini product is the zucchini relish that a wonderful friend used to make and sell at the church fair. I saved it for Thanksgiving and it was the highlight of dinner. Her husband had a garden which he shared with the whole town, I think. There was always lots for them and that zucchini relish was the prize product! He's gone and she can't do this any longer, but how I loved it.

Everyone grows zucchini in their gardens and a good thing, too. One might think that we'd get tired of zucchini. Truth be told if we just boiled it and served it as a side dish, we might very well get tired of it, but cooked right, it is excellent. I just sauté it with onion and garlic and maybe some carrot or red peppers to make it a little colorful. It can be fried or roasted. Another friend told me how to make zucchini pizza! You can even eat the zucchini flower! (Sautéed, roasted, deep fried!).

One year I grew an eight pound zucchini in my garden. It was a baseball bat! I thought I'd just chop it up and throw it on the compost, but my mother-in-law was there and she never wasted a thing! She cut in half, scooped out the seeds and stuffed it with ground meat, bread crumbs, tomato and cheeses. We baked it and it was fit for a king! Of course, everything she baked was fit for a king! Remarkable woman.

Of course, there is the obligatory zucchini bread which can be made with great variety! Add cheese for a yummy flavor; muffins with berries, nuts are perfect in it, I've added apples. In short, anything goes! I've known people to make chocolate cake from zucchini or brownies. Cookies, too! All these baked goods can be frozen and brought out midwinter to remind us of the heat waves we endured last July and it warms our hearts!

I never look a gift zucchini in the mouth (as in don't look a gift horse in the mouth) there's always something to do with it to save it from the com- post. Of course, composting is good, too, because that rich dark stuff can be used next year to dig into the garden and grow more zucchini!

Stay cool, enjoy your zucchini, be safe and most important, love the friends and family who share!!

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17
