Show me the money! On this episode of The Retirement Equals Freedom Podcast we’re finding out about the world of financial planning fees. What’s totally worth it, what’s so-so and when can you save $$ by managing on your own? Host Josh Bretl, founder of FSR Wealth Strategies, breaks down the different types of fees and shares advice he gives folks who are just starting out (when the stakes are lower) as well as heading into retirement (when professional advisory services can pay off in a big way). First, though, he and Co-Host Dave Schmidt have a lot of terrain to cover in their opening chat, which ranges from the unexpected delights of iced Cometeer Coffee to unbelievable (probably true) stories about the hosts’ noble ancestral heritage. You’ll come away not only with a smile, but also a new jingle that may (full disclaimer) haunt your dreams!

And, finally, if at the end of the pod you are scratching your head and asking: Who (or what) is an ALF (?), here's the backstory.

This episode was fueled by Cometeer Coffee, both iced and hot!
