On this episode, hosted by Mike McNamara, we focus on personal finance and wealth management. Mike McNamara underscores the importance of living within one's means, which he defines as spending less than one earns and consistently saving at least 10% of income for retirement. He supports this advice with concerning statistics about Americans' financial preparedness, particularly for retirement, highlighting how many individuals rely heavily on Social Security. The program also features listener calls, with one caller seeking advice on tax implications for inherited retirement and bank accounts and the use of a family trust for estate planning, further illustrating practical financial considerations.

Michael J. McNamara, Ph.D., CFP®, is the Founder of McNamara Financial and a Certified Financial Planner. He’s semi-retired, and works with legacy clients and select others.
