If you’re like most people, you probably have some financial accounts that you haven’t paid much attention to recently. The statements are just collecting dust in your file cabinet, but they might actually be hidden gems that could be put to much better use. We’re going to talk about ways to re-purpose those old accounts for better returns.
It’s another mailbag edition of the show and we’re covering five different topics that you’ve been asking about. From company stock to old life insurance policies to hitting seven figures in your portfolio, it’s a wide range of retirement conversations but we’re hitting them all today.
Before we start up a new financial series, Ben’s going to open up the mailbag and answer a few questions from listeners that address retirement checklists, military pension benefits, and consolidating all of those retirement accounts you own.
No one enjoys having to take part in those difficult conversations but it’s a necessary part of building a comprehensive retirement plan. Let’s explore two of those awkward conversations every good financial advisor should be bringing up with you. In part one of this series, we’ll look at how the death of a spouse and the possibility of nursing home care can affect your plan.
Part 3 of our series on savers and the missteps they can make in planning, we turn to the dreaded topic of taxes. As you save and invest for your future, are you considering the tax time bomb that could be looming down the road? What about strategies that can help lessen your tax burden? Let’s discuss the options that you have to save yourself money in taxes.
We kick off our five-part series about financial myths with a product that Ben has worked with in his career: life insurance. Many people feel life insurance isn’t needed after retirement, but that’s not the case. We’ll explain life insurance options, why it can be needed after retiring, and how it can become an income source.
