Adding Social Security to Your Retirement Income Plan
In retirement, your income source is different than it was during your working years. With inflation and market fluctuations to consider, how can you build an income plan that is strong and stable? Alan and Troy share what a comprehensive retirement income plan looks like and what kind of accounts you want to draw from first. Then, they talk through strategies around Roth conversions. Is it right for you? While there are limits to how much you can contribute to a Roth IRA each year, does that rule apply for Roth conversions? What kind of impact could it have on your taxes or Medicare? Bottom line: talk with a financial advisor to determine the right next steps for you and your unique situation.

Financial Half-Truths
It’s easy to be taken in by half-truths in the financial world without understanding the whole truth. Troy breaks down some of these commonly held beliefs to provide clarity and advice for your financial future. He dives into misconceptions about market losses, portfolio fees, mortgage interest rates, and diversification strategies. Through real-life examples and expert analysis, you’ll learn valuable insights to help you navigate your retirement planning with confidence.

This means diversifying your investments while keeping them within a manageable framework, making it easier for you and your loved ones to handle your affairs as needed. Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode: “The market always goes up in the long-run.” “The fees are less than one percent.” “It’s better to invest money than pay off your mortgage.” Get additional financial resources here:
