PPR 274 WPTV - You Signed What!
If a tree falls in the forest and there is no-one there to hear it fall, does it still make a noise? Of course it does. Ok, what about this one… if a deal is made between 3 people regarding 10mil worth of real estate in their parents estate plan, does the deal exist if it is not in writing? Most small deals should be in writing; however, Alllll big deals, especially those related to real estate and estate planning should be in writing. I'm fired up about this because I recently spoke with two brothers who had been introduced to me by a CPA here in my local area. The brothers are in a major tough spot. They contacted me because they felt that their sister may have done some shananigans with mom & dad's estate plan. Listen to this for sure before you sign anything related to business, estate planning or real estate! Got questions about maximizing your retirement income, saving for retirement, life insurance, or estate planning? Send me an email to [email protected]. I am always willing to see if i can Help!

Kudos to listener Michelle who sent me an email with a question for her mom Michelle writes: "Kraig, thank you thank you thank you. I'm so glad that i found your show and that you responded to my email. Despite being a realtor for 22 years, I was not familiar with the estate plan changes my mother was contemplating. Without your help, we would have recorded her property title changes all wrong. Backstory: when Michelle introduced me to her mom, i quickly realized that she needed much more in-depth estate planning work.

PPR 276 WYS-Dave Ramsey At My Car Show!
I run a great car show every week in Corona CA. It’s called Cars & Coffee Corona (@carscoffeecorona) A friend at the show asked me about a YouTube video he watched recently about retirement. He also listens to my podcast and knows how much I love financial entertainers like Dave Ramsey, Suzy Orman, and Chris Hogan. What is a Financial Entertainer? Take a listen. My friend said that Dave Ramsey said that people can get 10% income on their retirement money! Ooohhh really?! I asked him to send me the YouTube video he was referring too and sure enough, there was Dave talking nonsense again. The video was published in 2020. Let me quote the biggest financial entertainer in the world…. Got questions about maximizing your retirement income, saving for retirement, life insurance, or estate planning?

According to the National Funeral Directors Association, the median cost of a funeral with viewing and burial in 2020 was $9,000, while the median cost of a cremation with a memorial service was $6,000. And those costs are only expected to rise in the future. Listen full episode for complete detail.
