I could've sworn that I wrote about this article, but I can't find it. So it's better to just write it again than wonder where it is. The White Coat Investor has many articles showcasing his misunderstanding and common thoughts about whole life insurance. Many other agents try to combat with the author in the comments of those articles. However, this link by The White Coat Investor is all I want to highlight: https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/nuance/ Whole Life Insurance

I am copy/pasting the link and article here, but this isn't about Suze (although it could be). This is a wake-up call. If these financial entertainers are changing their tunes... then it means something is changing and it's time for ALL of us to be aware of it! *** https://www.marketwatch.com/story/suze-orman-urges-investors-to-stay-away-from-traditional-401ks-2020-06-17 Suze Orman: ‘You have to be crazy’ to put your money in this investment Published: June 18, 2020 at 10

From the description box on this YouTube video from Life Happens: Being a small-business owner is rewarding. It gives you the freedom to do what you love and to control your destiny. This appealed to Mike Jaap, who took a wealth of experience and built a metal recycling business. It paid off with exponential growth and profits. His insurance professional Bill Cassidy was there to offer him advice—unique advice he hadn’t heard from his other advisors. Bill recommended that Mik

One of the reasons why "traditional" planning is so prevalent, is the definition of success in our society. The word "millionaire" is full of prestige, opportunity, control, travel, and especially SUCCESS! It's a success MILESTONE in our society! And depending on WHERE your money is... it's a complete farce! If you have $1 million or more in your 401(k) or IRA... you don't have a million dollars, no matter WHAT your statement says. The problem with saving money in IRS regulat

Allow me to share with you some observations I've noticed in recent years: "My investment advisor got me 22% last year." "The market lost my gains last year, but my advisor is working to make that all back up." "Since 2009, we've had record growth in the market." So here's what *I* notice: Gains are credited to the advisor's brilliance. Yet the advisor doesn't (can't) take the blame for the market's losses. Investors (and new advisors) seem to forget 2008... and begin looking

A 2015 Survey Of 2,000 Parents Indicated: 53% Would Rather Use Retirement Savings To Pay College Costs Than Have Their Kids Take Out Student Loans. 51% Would Be Willing To Get A Second Or Part-time Job. 49% Would Delay Retirement And Work More Years. 79% Said They Were Saving Something For Their Kids’ College Costs, But Were Using The Wrong Accounts [Which Lowered Maximum Financial Aid Opportunities]. (Note: lots of inaccuracies in the source article - which I posted in the c

Today's blog post doesn't need much introduction. I'm just doing a copy/paste from the introductory chapter from Thomas J. Stanley's successor book to The Millionaire Next Door called The Millionaire Mind. In the introduction chapter, Dr. Stanley is setting up the book. He has ten multimillionaires in a room to discuss how one can become an economic success. Following this excerpt (with some bold emphasis in some parts), I have a short video clip at the bottom of this page.

What is a "Go to Hell" fund? It's a pile of money, easily accessible, so you can keep your respect and dignity in any work environment. We're living in a time where automation or overseas offshoring of jobs threatens the livelihood of many various jobs. Imagine if you were given your layoff notice AND asked to stay on the job long enough to train your replacement? Wouldn't you have some words for that employer? I know *I* would! One problem with IRS regulated retirement pl

That might be an odd looking question, but it's very apt. One of the selling points of various deferred annuities (annuities where you wait to use them for regular annual income), is that you can access 10% of your annuity every year. But that 10% amount may change each and ever year! How can we tell? It depends what the annuity contract language says. (Note: We are not looking at lifetime income benefit riders in this as that amount would be far less and guaranteed for tha

Over the past few months, I have been listening and learning under the tutelage of a man I call a friend and mentor. He teaches financial professionals to discover their 'why' and articulate it as a way to answer the question: "What do you do for a living?". And I thought I knew my 'why'. I had a lot of the math and philosophy down, but I never really knew my why... until yesterday. Yesterday, I was reading up on a prominent democratic candidate for president's tax plan. I

https://berniesanders.com/en/issues/tax-extreme-wealth/ How the Tax on Extreme Wealth Would Work This tax on extreme wealth would have a progressive rate structure that would only apply to the wealthiest 180,000 households in America who are in the top 0.1 percent. It would start with a 1 percent tax on net worth above $32 million for a married couple. That means a married couple with $32.5 million would pay a wealth tax of just $5,000. The tax rate would increase to 2 percen

https://berniesanders.com/en/issues/expand-social-security/ This page makes a lot of different aspirational points, but I am only going to talk about how to pay for it, and what is being proposed on these links. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, the wealthiest Americans in this country must pay their fair share into the system. Today, a billionaire pays the same amount of money into Social Security as someone who makes $132,900 a year because the Social Secur

https://berniesanders.com/en/issues/free-college-cancel-debt/ How does Senator Sanders propose to pay for all this college & pay off the debt? Tax Wall Street Gambling to Cancel All Student Debt and Pay for College for All We can guarantee higher education as a right for all and cancel all student debt for an estimated $2.2 trillion. To pay for this, we will impose a tax of a fraction of a percent on Wall Street speculators who nearly destroyed the economy a decade ago. This
