Student loan debt has nearly tripled over the last 10 years. As a result the IRS has announced a cost neutral way for employers to help pay down student debt while getting employees to save for retirement.

When the headlines read “markets hit record highs” the question “is there a bubble?” is not too far behind. At the moment student debt and auto loans are the most concerning issues our economy faces, so much so that the IRS released a private letter ruling that could make it easier for employers to use 401ks to assist employees in repaying student loans. Other topics include:

• Is there a housing bubble?
• Retirement saving options for self employed individuals
• 401ks vs. Roth 401ks
• The Social Security train wreck
• Itemized deductions and charitable contributions under the new tax law
