This last weekend, Jeremiah and Nic walk through everything investors should be thinking about heading into year-end. They open with the uptick in market volatility and why short-term swings (especially after years of strong returns) should be expected rather than feared. From S&P 500 movement to speculation-driven selloffs and margin trading, the guys explain what's actually happening under the hood.

They then shift into the biggest year-end priorities: maxing out 401(k) contributions, coordinating Roth strategies, and using HSAs the right way—including the little-known double catch-up rule for couples over 55. The advisors outline practical moves for self-employed listeners too, especially when SEP IRAs unintentionally reduce their Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction.

Listener calls round out the show with questions on spending down windfalls, tax-efficient Roth funding, managing debt, and how to plan confidently when you feel "behind."

In hour two, the conversation turns to 1031 exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trusts—how they work, who they're right for, and the real trade-offs behind tax deferral. They finish with retirement psychology, planning clarity, and why understanding your strategy matters more than timing the market.
