Business expert and social media influencer Grant Cardone is known for being generous, and on Tuesday he just gave $113,000 to Boy Scouts of America.

Widmark, Scout Executive and CEO

While Cardone hasn't discussed many of his donations publicly, the Boy Scouts fit within his broad style of philanthropy. The donation came about from a live-stream video on January 2nd over social media where Cardone promised to give the first caller half of the day's entire sales proceeds from his online store to the caller's charity of choice. The other half would be donated to the Cardone Foundation, which is Grant's not-for-profit corporation organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes, including providing mentoring and financial literacy education to underserved and at-risk populations.

American IRA Discusses Understanding the Self-Directed SEP IRA

Some small business owners may do very well to use a Self-Directed SEP IRA, according to a recent post at the American IRA blog. The Self-Directed IRA administration firm not only explained the basics of the SEP IRA, but explained what kinds of contributions, limitations, and advantages these accounts have for small business owners.

The concept behind a Self-Directed SEP IRA can be simple. Allowing an annual contribution of up to $55,000 (at least in the tax year of 2018) per individual, they provide a lot of freedom for people to cut down on their overall burden and put aside a massive amount of money for retirement. Those who earn inconsistent incomes or earn quarterly or annual bonuses, the post notes, would do well to have a SEP IRA in their portfolio.

But there are other advantages as well, as the post notes. An employer can contribute up to 25% of each employee's annual compensation to the plan. This contribution can be in addition to how much each employee contributes. This creates a large potential retirement plan and gives employers the tools necessary to set up high-quality retirement benefits at their place of business.

There are requirements to which every employer should pay attention, according to the post. For example, an employer would be required to have their contribution percentage between 0% and 25% of the earnings of each employee for each year. But these limitations are hardly on the lower end of the spectrum, considering the low limits of a Self-Directed Roth IRA, for example.

"You would be surprised at how many people do not know about what they can accomplish with a Self-Directed SEP IRA," noted Jim Hitt of American IRA. "These arrangements can allow people who earn large incomes to really put aside a lot of tax-protected money for retirement. Those who need to play 'catch-up' for retirement while they have a large income might really benefit from these arrangements, and it also helps lower the overall stress they have as they build a retirement portfolio, they can be proud of." Be alert to read related news.

The Studio Behind Myst Launches Kickstarter Campaign for New Game Firmament

Cyan once again turns to its fans with a Kickstarter campaign to help fund an amazingly immersive new game, Firmament, and to further explore VR as the next generation technology in world building. Deeply rooted in the spirit of Myst, Riven and more recently, Obduction, Firmament is an all-new, immersive, atmospheric adventure that will be released initially for traditional gaming on PC and VR headsets Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

"Kickstarter is a way for us to reach out to our fans to help us fund the types of games we like to build and they like to play." said Rand Miller, CEO, Cyan. "Anyone who knows Cyan understands that we have always embraced pushing the boundaries of world creation. We believe that VR is part of an evolutionary step in making our worlds even more immersive. Empowering our fans to fund through Kickstarter allows us to explore these creative opportunities. Oh, and they're gonna love this game."

Firmament is an all-new story and experience, but it draws on and embraces the steampunk aesthetics (that define parts of Myst) to weave a rich and surprising narrative - with just a touch of magic. The player explores various fantastic worlds with the help of a mechanical adjunct. This constant companion gradually becomes an essential instrument as the player learns how to seamlessly interact, guide, and communicate with it, uncovering a remarkable chain of events.

Cyan's previous game, Obduction, and most recently the Myst 25th Anniversary Collection, were both successful Kickstarter campaigns. For the Firmament campaign, Cyan is collaborating with Fangamer to create the merchandise. Fangamer has a reputation for creating exceptional merchandise – shirts, plushies, books, prints, pins,etc. – inspired by some of the best video games of all time. Read all the related news.

With successful funding through Kickstarter, Firmament will be scheduled for release in the summer of 2020 and be available for PC, Rift and Vive.
