Welcome to this week's show... Being in financial services for over 20 years now, I've found that most people worry. They've worked hard their entire life and now retirement has been thrust upon them. And while they think they're doing okay, they just aren't sure. There's so much to know and by their own admission, they don't know what they don't know, and that causes the worry. Worry that paralyzes you into doing nothing.   So if that sounds like you, you're listening to the right show. I specialize in managing retirement accounts. I'll guide you to the right investments that can give you an income that is predictable, consistent, safe and can even increase every year, no matter what the market does. Ultimately giving you the peace of mind you're looking for. The title of the show today is "Big Issues with Social Security". On today's show I'll be talking about two big issues with social security that you need to be aware of; #1 the upcoming cut to your paycheck benefits and #2 how you could lose up to 50% of your income when a spouse passes away. We'll also be getting a little nerdy and talk about how risk drives portfolio returns and how feeling safe... may actually be risky. Also, I've gotten some good feedback on the "mailbag" segments I've been doing over the past few weeks, so we'll continue with those... As usual I've set aside a few copies of my book and retirement reports, so be sure to listen for when I'm giving those away so you can call in and claim your copy. We got a loaded show for you and I'm super excited.!! Go ahead and press that play button!   Questions about your planning? -Schedule a call with me TODAY..!

How to Avoid Tax Scams During a Pandemic

Let's preview today's show... Being in financial services for over 20 years now, I've found that most retirees worry about running out of their life savings because they are no longer getting a paycheck. So I specialize in managing their investments to provide an income that is predictable, consistent, safe and can even increase every year, no matter what the market does. Ultimately giving them the peace of mind they desire throughout retirement.   The title of the show today is "How to Control Your Emotions and Ignore the Media for Investment Success". Here's a question for you... How often do you go search for market updates? Never? You ignore it? Good for you, you're probably happier for it. But most people can't help but either see something or hear something, catch a glimpse on social media or even discuss the markets around the water cooler at work. If that's you, then you may be feeling a little overwhelmed and have no clue what to do with your investments, because you're getting a different story and different advice from a thousand different places! Including this show! Haha... So I want to discuss the media's role in all of this, and hopefully give you a little insight into how to ignore the chaos and confusion and focus on what matters, so that ultimately you can enjoy a stress free retirement.   Questions about your planning? -Schedule a call with me TODAY..!
