Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I’m your host Ashley Micciche, co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, an independent financial advisory practice managing $340 million in client assets. I’m a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor and I’m using my 15 years of experience as a financial advisor to help you gain clarity and make a plan for the retirement you envision.

On this podcast, I cover everything from investing, to retirement spending, to taxes in retirement in just a few minutes each day, so if you’re 5-10 years on either side of retirement, and looking for some daily doses of retirement planning wisdom, you’re in the right place. 

The theme this week on the podcast is: Holiday Tipping Etiquette

Didn’t I just talk last week about minimizing your spending and financial stress during the holidays and now I’m telling you to spend money on tips for your landscaper and your hair stylist? Why, yes. Yes I am.

While not a requirement, the holidays is the ideal time to show appreciation for those people in your life who make life easier for you throughout the year. These are generally people you have some type of ongoing service relationship with - like a house cleaner or do sitter - but it can also be your mail guy (or gal) or the garbageman. 

So this week I’ll talk about:

• Why tip during the holidays - showing appreciation
• Who to tip
• How & how much to tip
• Tips optional - who you may want to tip, but may not need to
• Some final thoughts on tipping that may be slightly controversial

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening! Come on back tomorrow…where I’ll talk about the importance of tipping. 

My name is Ashley Micciche...and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast.
