Episode 61: What Should I Do With My 401(k) When I Retire?
Coasting in Retirement
One of the most common questions we get from clients is what should they do with their 401k, specifically the question “What should I do with my 401k when I retire?”. And more often than not the 401k accounts are probably the largest retirement assets a client has. So what I want to do today is answer this question, and probably just as important, answer what NOT to do.

Coasting in Retirement
I want to discuss what is called an “evergreen” topic with Jay Stubbs on our show – Long Term Care. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about long-term care recently, and as Jay is considered an expert in this field, I wanted to spend 15 to 20 minutes with Jay discussing everything a person should know about long-term care insurance and how to financially navigate an extended health care event. Let’s start with this because many listeners have probably never had this type of protection explained in detail to them – Jay, how do you define long term care insurance?

Episode 54: Just Stop It
Coasting in Retirement
Regular listeners know that I tend to be skeptical of a lot of things related to my own industry, financial services, including a lot financial advertisements and glossy marketing content masquerading as responsible financial advice, as Michelle knows firsthand, I get very, very irritated when I hear someone in my line of work espouse a bunch of info that is nothing more than lies. And in times of market turbulence, this type of misinformation gets shouted from the roof tops. So with that in mind, we’re going to play a little game of “Just Stop It”, kind of like true or false, except,...

Episode 53: Well, That Was Fun
Coasting in Retirement
We are recording this episode on Thursday, April 10th, less than 24 hours removed from the largest single day rise in the stock market valuation, right smack dab back into another 2-3% trading dip. The word “historical” gets way overused, but in the case, it’s not hyperbole to say that we are experiencing truly historical levels of volatility, eclipsing even the crazy ups and downs we saw at the beginning of the Covid crisis. And for a radio show based on top-of-mind topics for investors in or near retirement, or any investor of any age I would say, I think it goes without saying that...
