State estate Taxes
Depending on which state you live in, you may have to pay yet another tax, a state death tax. Some states call it an estate tax, some an inheritance tax, but yet another tax it is.
Most state estate taxes are pretty much identical to federal estate taxes. The federal estate tax that you or your beneficiaries will owe will be based on the value of the estate, regardless of the relation the people have to the deceased. If you have an estate worth $700,000, before it’s all settled, the executor would write a check to the federal government to pay the estate tax; in this case the check would be for $37,000. The rest would go to the beneficiaries. In reality, it’s the estate that is responsible for paying the estate tax.
The same is true when the state gets involved. They will figure out the part of the estate that’s taxable, and the estate will have to pay the state estate tax. In most states today the state just takes its share from the federal government, which makes it fairly easy. In most states, if you pay the tax directly to the state, you can take that as a credit against your federal estate tax bill. (It won’t cost you more, in other words; it’s just an accounting
hassle.)
There are a few states left that do collect an additional state estate tax: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, and Ohio. If you live in these states, check with an accountant when you’re planning your estate or expecting to inherit a lot of money. Don’t get caught unprepared.
The Inheritance taxes
Inheritance taxes are paid not by the estate, but by the people who actually inherit the money. How much they pay is determined not only by how much they inherit, but by their relationship to the person who has died as well.
For instance, if you lived in Connecticut and died, leaving $25,000 to your child, that’s fine. Your child would not owe any inheritance tax. But leave $25,000 to a devoted lifelong friend, and suddenly there’s inheritance tax: 9 percent. I always tell people who live in Connecticut (or Nebraska, for that matter, where that same $25,000 would cost your child 1 percent and your friend 15 percent) that if you want to leave a modest amount to a friend, and if you have kids whom you trust, leave it to your kids and have them gift it to your friend at the rate of $10,000 a year to save that 9 or 15 percent. Anyone can give $10,000 a year to anyone else gift-tax-free, year in and year out.*
add yourself to the payroll
It is not respectful to yourself, to others, or to your money not to plan for your future. It is not respectful to yourself, to others, or to your money not to take full advantage of the 401(k)s or IRAs or the other retirement plans that are available to you. It is not respectful to yourself, to others, or to your money not to face your debt, to learn the basics of investing, and to guard over your money, making sure that every penny you’re spending is a penny that must be spent. What day you pay your bills, when you send in your taxes, and what hidden costs you pay for your checking account all can make a difference in how much money you have and how much money gets attracted your way. We all think that a bigger paycheck would be the answer to our financial woes, but that is rarely the case. Respect starts with the money you are earning right now and what you do with it.
Become responsible
What was the goal you wanted to accomplish by reading this book? Did you want to find a viable way to reduce your debt, put more money into retirement plans, figure out how to invest your money? Perhaps you’re thinking, Well, now I know all about wills and trusts, but that won’t help me with my Visa bill, will it?
Oh, but it will. What you need to know and believe is that when you have taken care of others, you have responded to the higher values of your existence—people first, then money. It’s as if, on a material level, you’re giving thanks by taking care of those who helped you enter the world, those to whom you gave life, those who have guided your passage through your life. By taking these actions, you remind yourself of who you really are and what is important to you, what is important in this life. This knowledge is a powerful force. I think it is almighty. The force starts to push forward like a bulldozer, clearing out all the obstacles that prevent you from living the life you deserve to live. As you complete the rest of the steps in this book, these obstacles will continue to be cleared away. Unlikely as it may sound to you now, you will be closer and closer to paying off your Visa bill, taking that trip to Italy, or whatever your goal happens to be.
Please take the actions outlined in this chapter. Do one this week—make a call, get quotes for insurance, ask your parents about what would happen if they had to go into a nursing home. One action this week will clear you to take one action next week, and so on, until you have become responsible to those you love.
Videotapes and audiotapes
Videotapes and audiotapes can authenticate a speech and add variety to your presentation. Today’s audiences, described by Roger Williams, senior writer for Newsweek Interactive, as “the first generation that has never watched television without a remote control,” may regard such presentation aids as essential to a polished presentation.16 Videos are especially useful for transporting the audience to distant, dangerous, or otherwise unavailable locations. Although you could verbally describe the scenic wonders of the Grand Canyon, you could reinforce your word-pictures with actual photos of the site or, better still, with living scenes from a videotape. An effective speaker uses video clips for support, but still supplies “the live human touch needed to help move an audience of one, or of hundreds, to the desired conclusion or action.”
Using videotapes presents some special problems. Moving images attract more attention than the spoken word, so they can easily upstage you. Moreover, a videotape segment should be edited so that splices blend without annoying static. Editing videotapes takes special skill and equipment. Finally, it can be difficult to work videotapes into a short speech without consuming all of your time. If they are not carefully managed, properly cued, and artistically edited, they can become more of a handicap than an aid.
For certain topics, however, carefully prepared videos can be more effective than any other type of presentation aid. One student at Northwest Mississippi Community College, who was a firefighter by trade, used videotape in an informative speech on fire hazards in the home. By customizing the videotape to fit the precise needs of his speech, he was able to show long shots of a room and then zoom in on the various hazards.’9 He prepared the videotape without sound so that his speech provided the commentary needed to interpret and explain the pictures seen by the audience. Using this technique, he made his subject come to life. When in doubt about the wisdom or practicality of using such aids, consult your instructor.
Audiotapes may also be useful as presentation aids and are not as difficult to handle and integrate into your speech. If you wanted to describe the alarm
cries of various animals or the songs of different birds, an audiotape could be essential. Consult your instructor about the availability of equipment if you think your speech would benefit from such a tape.
