You'll begin by learning about the various plan types employers may offer their employees. Topics related to compliance testing will be thoroughly discussed as well as strategies used to legally shift benefits in favor of highly compensated employees (HCEs). However, some employers do not sponsor a plan. In this instance, retirement savers will need to understand the options available within the world of individual retirement accounts (IRAs). This book is not intended to provide investment advice, but rather to guide how different retirement savings vehicles function and how they can be effectively deployed. Many financial professionals find that their clients ask questions about all aspects of their financial life. For this reason, this book also discusses non-investment-related topics such as housing options, Social Security planning, Medicare planning, and a few other basic insurance-based issues faced by all retirees.Finance and financial management collection.2331-00572014 digital library.RetirementPlanningretirement planningretirement plan compliance testingsocial securitymedicareemployer-sponsored plansRetirementPlanning.646.79Robbins Eric J.1495011MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791007303321Essentials of retirement planning3718957UNINA08152nam 2200649 a 450 991078327050332120240108185702.00-19-530195-11-60256-298-9(CKB)1000000000028896(OCoLC)60573215(CaPaEBR)ebrary10084738(SSID)ssj0000274780(PQKBManifestationID)11211783(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000274780(PQKBWorkID)10330810(PQKB)11201069(MiAaPQ)EBC3051832(Au-PeEL)EBL3051832(CaPaEBR)ebr10084738(MiAaPQ)EBC241627(Au-PeEL)EBL241627(EXLCZ)99100000000002889620020329d2003 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe worlds of medieval Europe[electronic resource] /Clifford R.

The result is a nuanced portrayal of a multifarious western world that was sharply divided between its northern and southern aspects. By also integrating the histories of the Islamic and Byzantine world into the main narrative, the text brings new life to the continuum of interaction--social, cultural, and intellectual, as well as commercial--that existed among all three societies. In addition, it describes ways in which the medieval Latin West attempted to understand the unified and rational structure of the human cosmos, which they believed existed beneath the observable diversity and disorder of the world. This effort to re-create a human ordering of "unity through diversity" provides an essential key to understanding medieval Europe and the ways in which it regarded and reacted to the worlds around it. The Worlds of Medieval Europe is an ideal text for undergraduate courses in medieval history, Western civilization, the history of Christianity, and Muslim-Christian relations. It also serves as an excellent supplement for courses on the history of a specific country in the medieval period, the history of medieval art, or the history of the European economy..Civilization, MedievalFeudalismEuropeKings and rulers, MedievalMonarchyEuropeMediterranean RegionCivilizationByzantine EmpireCivilization1081-1453Civilization, Medieval.FeudalismKings and rulers, Medieval.Monarchy940.1Backman Clifford R472882MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783270503321The worlds of medieval Europe3721720UNINA
