• Relocation to Las Vegas
Declining unemployment, an expanding skilled-labor force, an exceptional tax structure, a pro-business environment, and a great climate have made Las Vegas a desirable place to relocate.
The population explosion in the 80s and 90s resulted in great opportunities to open new businesses and create more jobs. Over the last decade, job diversity has expanded, with more focus away from the gaming industry.
Since tourism generates nearly one-third of the state’s annual tax revenue, business owners are not subject to corporate income tax, personal income tax, franchise tax, inventory tax, or unitary tax on the state level.
If you are planning to relocate, Las Vegas should be at the top of your list of desirable places to live.
When most people decide it's time, for them, to retire, they must make important, personally relevant, decisions, in terms of where they might reside, during these so - called, Golden Years! Basically. their choices may be, between: remaining in their same home; down - sizing (either remaining in same geographic area, or not); relocating to another house (which they own); and/ or, decide to rent, instead of owning. Why one decides, and determines, it's time to relocate, there may be several reasons, and, in light of that, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 5 specific reasons, and some reasons.
How to Downsize the Right Way
Smaller mortgage payments and spending less time dusting those spare rooms may sound like a dream come true
Wouldn’t it be nice to have less to clean and more money in your pocket?
Financial Benefits of Downsizing
Still not convinced? Then it’s time to bring out the big guns and talk money. What if you reduced your mortgage by $500 a month and put that cash toward other financial goals? Check out three strides you could make:
1. Attack Your Debt Snowball
If you’re working hard to kick debt to the curb, downsizing your home can help you maintain that gazelle intensity. Let’s say you owe $18,000 on your student loan. With a 6% interest rate and a minimum payment of $200 a month, you’ll be paying on that loan for 10 more years!
But throw an additional $500 at your loan each month, and you’d trim a whopping seven years and eight months off your pay-off date. Sallie Mae will have to find a new place to live, because you’ll be free from student debt in less than two-and-a-half years!
2. Boost Your Retirement Fund
Once you’re debt-free with a fully funded emergency fund, it’s time to build wealth for the future. Dave recommends investing 15% of your household income into Roth IRAs and pretax retirement plans. If you’re still working your way up to 15%, that extra $500 could be the push you need to get there. And, boy, the difference $500 could make! In 30 years, you could have an additional $1–1.6 million in the bank to get you through your golden years. You can do a lot of living and giving with that nest egg!
3. Pay Off Your Mortgage
Want to downsize Dave’s way? Trade in your mortgage for a paid-off home! Use the proceeds from selling your current home to pay cash for a smaller one. Just imagine what you could do with no mortgage holding you down!
If you can’t pay cash, aim for a 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage and put at least 10–20% down on your new home. Apply the $500 you saved from downsizing to your new monthly payment. At 4.5% interest, you could pay off a $200,000 mortgage in less than 10.5 years, saving almost $25,278 in the process.
