Financial to-dos OFF your packing listTravel season is heating up! This year Tripadvisor estimates that over two-thirds

of Americans are planning to take a long-distance vacation. If you’re planning to take a trip,

then check these important financial ‘to-dos’ off your packing list.

• Tell us when and where you’re traveling Just set up a Travel Notification to let us know where you’ll be. We’ll take care of the rest

to make sure you can always make purchases on the road.

• Set up autopayments in the Bill pay Center Don’t miss a bill payment while on your trip. Instead, take your

time to relax and have fun by creating autopayments to send directly from your desired bank account.

• Establish Transaction Alerts Stay up to date on everything entering and leaving your bank

accounts with card activity, balance, and transaction alerts. Nothing can dampen a vacation faster than having your information stolen.

Take a break from the cold, gray weather of winter and join us as we spend eight wonderful days on the warm and sunny island paradise of Treasure Island, Florida. You can enjoy every part of the resort from the beach to all the amenities offered, plus choose fun day trips to Tarpon Springs, Sarasota and St. Petersburg!

On Sunday you fly to Tampa, cross the drawbridge and see the sparkling water of Boca Ceiga Bay, the eastern border of Treasure Island. This quaint, seaside resort town is only 5.3 square miles and boasts three miles of soft, white, sand beaches, pristine waters and beautiful sunsets. Then, settle in your Beachfront Premium Studio room at the Bilmar Beach Resort for seven nights.

The next day, start your morning off right with a cup of coffee from the coffee bar and take a stroll along the beach. Today is yours to relax and enjoy as you wish. The Suncoast Trolley also picks-up in front of the hotel for easy access to wonderful places like shopping restaurants, entertainment and the boardwalk.

After a leisurely breakfast the next morning, you head to Tarpon Springs. A local guide acquaints you with the history of the town, how Greek sponge divers settled it in the early 1900s and a Greek community still thrives there. Next is a sponge diver boat ride to learn how sponge diving is done and then enjoy a festive Greek lunch at Hellas starting with a traditional flaming cheese.

Use the next day to relax and enjoy Treasure Island. You can get a day pass for the Suncoast Trolley and get on and off as you please. With many stops along the way, the trolley goes as far south as Pass-A-Grille and as far north as Clearwater Beach. You can visit the neighboring Madeira Beach and walk its boardwalk or even catch a dolphin cruise.

Sleep in a little the next morning before

you depart for Sarasota. Your first

stop is the wonderful John and Mable

Ringling Museum of Art, a 66-acre

museum complex featuring the State

Museum of Florida, Circus Museum, Ca’

d’Zan Mansion and Bayfront Gardens.

The next stop is St. Armand’s Circle,

the sophisticated, outdoor dining and

shopping area where you have lunch at

Crab & Fin Restaurant then time to stroll

the circle. Back at the resort you have

an evening free to enjoy the nightlife in

Treasure Island.

Enjoy your Friday sunning, shelling,

shopping or just relaxing. There is a

farmer’s market that features everything

from pineapples to jewelry only a block

away. Saturday morning you depart

for fabulous downtown St. Petersburg

where the Saturday morning Farmer’s

Market is a very popular activity for

locals and visitors alike. Browse through

all the stands varying from gourmet

food items, arts, crafts and clothing

or you have a seat and enjoy live

entertainment and grab lunch at one of

the many food booths. In the evening

you enjoy a sunset cruise complete

with beer, wine, lively music and lots of fun. As the sun sets over the Gulf of Mexico, you’ll have bittersweet feelings about the close of your wonderful trip to Treasure Island.

The next morning, walk the beach

before heading back to the Tampa

airport to head home. This eight-day

tour includes round trip airfare and

all motorcoach transportation, seven-

nights stay, nine meals, admissions and

gratuities all for $2,599 per person

1. Claiming too early

When you reach your full retirement

age (FRA), your full monthly Social

Security benefit becomes entitled to you.

However, most people tend to claim their

social security benefits early. This isn’t

necessarily a bad thing but, it does have

some setbacks.

Claiming too early can permanently

reduce your monthly payout. You could

see a reduction of anywhere from 25% to

30% when you take your payout as soon

as possible, depending on your birth year.

2. Waiting too long before claiming

Your benefit amount will not increase if

you delay claiming past your seventieth

(70) birthday. Delayed retirement credits

boost benefits by 8% annually for

people who haven’t claimed SS past full

retirement age. Any retirement credits

stop accruing at age 70, regardless of

your filing status.

3. Not applying for widow’s or

widower’s benefits

Survivor’s benefits can financially help

survivors of workers and retirees. Eligible

survivors can file for benefits when

they turn 60 years old, if your deceased

spouse or former spouse worked long

enough under Social Security.

For widows and widowers, you can

receive benefits:

• At age 60 or older.

• At age 50 or older if disabled.

• At any age if you take care of a child

of the deceased who is younger than

age 16 or disabled.

For divorced widows and widowers,

you can receive benefits:

• At age 60 or older if the marriage to

the deceased lasted at least 10 years.

• At age 50 or older if disabled and the

marriage to the deceased lasted at

least 10 years.

• At any age if they take care of a child

of the deceased who is younger than

age 16 or disabled.

For more information about Social

Security Survivor Benefits, visit Social

Security’s website.

4. Not taking taxes into consideration

Your Social Security payments are subject

to taxation about certain income limits.

For many Americans, Social Security is

taxable. Those receiving Social Security

benefits often pay taxes on up to half or

even 85% of money they receive. This is

due to the combination of Social Security

and other income that puts them over the

low threshold for taxes to begin. Although

paying taxes on Social Security can cost

you, there are ways to reduce the amount

you pay. Be sure to discuss this with your

tax professional.

PLANNING FOR REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS IN 2021John Bailey, CFP® - Senior Vice President & Wealth Management Advisor with Central Trust Company

IS IT TIME TO REVIEW YOUR ESTATE PLAN?When was the last time you reviewed your estate plan? If you haven’t reviewed your plan since the day you originally signed

documents at your attorney’s office, you’re not alone. The vast majority of people simply don’t think about creating an estate

plan and, of those who do, few seldom make a point to regularly re-visit their plan to ensure it still meets their needs.

Generally, an estate plan should be reviewed after any major life event, such as birth, marriage, divorce, or death. However,

I generally advise that, at a minimum, clients re-visit their plans every three to five years to ensure the plan still meets their

objectives and priorities. In light of the recent tax reform, it is even more likely that your estate plan needs an update to

accurately reflect your goals and wishes.

When should you review an existing plan?

In addition to regularly scheduled reviews, it’s a good idea to re-examine and update your estate plan if any of the following

circumstances have changed since you last reviewed your plan:

• Personal, Financial, or Charitable objectives.

• Family Dynamics, for example: birth or adoption of a child or grandchild, minors becoming adults, changes in marital

status, or death of a beneficiary.

• Death or change in circumstances of executors or guardians for minor children.

• Health and life expectancy of you or a close family member including: illness or

disability of a spouse or child, change in number of dependents, or changes to life

insurance policies, such as coverage is no longer sufficient for family protection

and estate liquidity needs.

• Financial needs during your lifetime. This could include changes in life or long-

term care insurance policies, such as coverage and benefits are no longer

sufficient to protect you, your family, and your assets. This could also include

the untimely closing of a business or early retirement.

• Relocation to another state or accumulation of property in another state.

• Current and/or projected value of your estate. Meaning substantive changes

to wealth, income, investments, or business interests, significant increase in

borrowing or other financial liabilities, changes in the types of property owned

or type of ownership.

• Marginal income tax bracket.

• Federal or state tax laws.

If you’ve recently experienced a change in any of these areas, it is time to review

your estate plan. A good estate plan should reflect your current financial situation

and plan for your future needs while remaining flexible enough to accommodate

future changes in your personal circumstances, as well as future changes to tax laws

and policies. Many estate plans no longer meet their original objectives because of

changes to family, financial circumstances, or the tax code; thus, regular review of

your estate plan is key to successful planning.

Estate planning is

complicated, if you have

questions or suspect your

estate plan needs review,

follow up with your wealth

advisory team to ensure your

estate plan is up to date and

reasonably meets your estate

planning objectives and

priorities.
