It’s Sunday, which means...it’s recap time here on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast

This week the theme was: How To Protect Yourself From Cyber Theft

In case you missed any episodes

• Voice Cloning: The Latest Cyber Theft Nightmare

• How Cyber Criminals Steal Your Info & Your Money

• Top 3 Ways To Protect Yourself From Cyber Theft

• More Ways To Protect Yourself From Cyber Theft

• What To Do If You Become A Victim of Cyber Theft

The most important takeaway from this week is the criminals keep getting more sophisticated, so if you’re not keeping up and being extra cautious about the various phishing and data breach scams, using a password manager, 2FA, and frequently checking your credit reports 

As I was writing my show notes for this episode, I get a text that appears to be from Wells Fargo. Did I attempt a $343 charge in San Antonio Texas? Call this number if you didn’t. A phishing text. But my initial reaction is fear because maybe someone is using my card. So the thieves are using that initial fear response to trick me into clicking a link, calling a number, and providing them with my login information. 

Tomorrow, I’m starting a brand new theme: What does money buy you in retirement? 

I’ll be talking about multiple different scenarios, and the lifestyle you can afford with each of the following asset levels at the onset of retirement: 

$500,000

$750,000

$1,000,000

$2,000,000

$5,000,000

So be sure to listen in next week to find out what a retirement in America with $500,000 or any other one of these numbers looks like. 

Thank you so much for listening this week!
