Are you looking out at the next 10 years and thinking to yourself oh my gosh my life is almost over? Or do you see that time as a transitional phase into one of the most exciting phases of your life?

The rules that apply to the accumulation phase of savings retirement, do not apply to the decumulation phase of retirement. It is imperative that you learn the rules of the decumulation side before the ticking time bomb goes off in your portfolio.

There have never been more prognosticators on the direction of the financial markets. Put all that aside and ask yourself a simple question: what does wealth mean to me right now at this phase of my life? Do that.

We're living longer and yes that means more years to our life. With that said, we're still more likely to come down with a debilitating disease or serious condition as we get older. Because of this, we want to make sure we're prepared financially to handle the storm if & when it comes. Hopefully this short podcast will give you some perspective and how to best prepare for that.

One of the biggest reasons that the investment markets are confusing is because those who work in the industry continually send mixed messages about their competitors. Dont follow the fear.

I don't pretend to know where the price is going short-term. However there are certain parallels with the.com bubble burst. That doesn't mean I'm pretending to know the future of crypto. I don't. My point is be careful to not lose more than you should. Any investor must learn to manage risk.

Look, I got it. I understand. I get it. You've heard of horror stories of people who have overcharged or sold a bill of goods.

The 401K is simply a savings vehicle offered through employer retirement plans. In the last several weeks I've heard certain personalities rail on the 401K as if it were some government tax scheme underway. You'll find this coming from mostly the permanent Insurance world. Ironically I am a huge fan and routinely find Insurance products for clients. Message is there's no one particular product or ideology that works the best. In the same breath people need to stop mischaracterizing what the 401K plan is.

In the world of investments remember there are advisors trying to sell you on their particular solution. Sometimes this is governed by who they work for and answer to. What you want though is someone that acts in a fiduciary capacity and has access to the landscape of tools so that your strategy truly serves your needs.

In this podcast we look at gold as insurance and how it can protect you in the worst of times.
