Ep 24: Lies You Might Hear from a Financial Professional

Ep 22: Is Retiring at 65 Still a Realistic Goal?
For as long as we can remember, 65 has been the age that most people are expected to retire. That’s what we were taught at an early age and it’s the number that has guided planning for some time. But is that age a thing of the past? With a that number increasing around the world, should you go ahead and expect to retire at a later date?

Ep 17: Do You Have to Pay Taxes on Social Security Benefits?
Let’s wrap up our four-part series on Social Security misunderstandings by talking about the dreaded ‘T’ word. After years of paying the government, you might not think that you have to send more money their way when you start claiming your benefits. We’re going to clear up that subject today by explaining how taxes are calculated for an individual’s Social Security and how we work with our clients to lessen that burden.
Ep 16: Choosing the Best Social Security Claiming Strategy
Are you nearing retirement and thinking about how and when you’ll claim Social Security?

That’s the next topic in a four-part series on the top misunderstandings with Social Security.
Ep 15: What Age Should You Claim Social Security?
Our four-part series on Social Security misunderstandings continues with a discussion on the age you should target for claiming your benefits.

Let’s discuss the factors that go into the decision.
Ep 14: Is Social Security Going Broke?
As we begin a four-part series on Social Security misunderstandings, we begin with one that’s been on the minds of many retirees and pre-retirees. That’s the idea that Social Security is going broke and there’s a chance that benefits could disappear at some point. Should you be worried? We explain on this episode.
