Voters in Washington State have decided to keep the state’s first-in-the-nation public long term care insurance program. On Tuesday, they easily rejected a ballot initiative that would have killed the far-reaching law. The WA Cares law provides up to $36,500 in long-term care insurance benefits, with the amount increasing with inflation. It is funded with a payroll tax surcharge of 0.58 percent on all workers in the state. For a median income worker, who makes about $78,000, that equals about $450 annually, or about $9 a week. The initiative was one of four ballot measures sponsored by Let’s Go Washington,…

Semi-retirement has significant advantages for your financial security, health, and enjoyment of life. It’s a powerful strategy to consider as you approach your retirement years, or even if you’ve recently retired. Let’s take a look. What Is Semi-Retirement? Semi-retirement is when you transition from full-time paid work to part-time paid work instead of retiring completely and doing no work at all for income.

Using your time wisely can also include watching movies, reading books, and newsletters. I am…
