Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Josh Jalinski. 

Host of The Financial Quarterback radio show, joins Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss financial security, Social Security misconceptions, inflation, compound interest, and health insurance. Recognized by Forbes as one of America’s top financial security professionals, he provides expert insights into wealth-building strategies.

🔑 Key Themes & Highlights

1. Social Security & Retirement Myths

   • Many Americans mistakenly believe Social Security alone will provide a comfortable retirement.
   • Josh explains how previous generations lived on Social Security because they had paid-off homes and lower living expenses, but today’s economic climate makes that unrealistic.

2. Inflation & Its Effects

   • Inflation occurs when too much money chases too few goods, causing price increases.
   • Covid stimulus packages contributed to rising costs as large amounts of money entered circulation.
   • Everyday consumers feel inflation in higher grocery prices, shrinking product sizes (shrinkflation), and increased gas costs.

3. Understanding Compound Interest

   • Compound interest is a powerful wealth-building tool that allows money to grow exponentially over time.
   • Many financial advisors focus on stocks and investments but fail to educate clients on the importance of long-term compounding without interruptions.
   • Josh emphasizes the Rule of 72, explaining how money doubles based on the interest rate earned.

4. Choosing the Right Financial Advisor

   • A strong advisor should educate clients on key financial principles, not just offer investment options like conservative, moderate, or aggressive portfolios.
   • The real key to wealth is understanding compounding and ensuring investments grow steadily over time.

5. Health Insurance Challenges

   • Rising health insurance costs are forcing companies to drop coverage and restructure their plans.
   • Josh suggests a two-tier system where private insurers handle healthy individuals while the government provides expanded Medicaid for those with higher risks.
