Have you made your life's career your only identity? If so, you're in for a rude awakening in retirement. When people plan for retirement, many only plan for the amount of money they're going to need when they're no longer working. One of the most overlooked things is the most simple–what are you going to do with all that free time?! Brian and Nic talk more about retirement planning and their experiences with clients that have ended up going back to work. Also, they talk about value investing, how it differs from growth investing, and why it's so important to your long-term portfolio. Building income in retirement, owing taxes to the IRS, trust planning, and moving on to a new advisor.

The scary news headlines will tell you that we're headed towards a down-spiraling recession that's going to cause everything to burn. But is that true? Are we in one right now, is it coming soon, or did the scare already pass? Brian Wiley and Nic Daniels talk about the U.S. debt ceiling and explain why it's probably more of a conversation piece than anything else. Randy, a California caller, asks if it's possible to live life in America without a credit score and why it's normalized to have debt – this leads Brian to explain that not all debt it bad. Leveraging credit to build wealth and how responsible use of credit can get you ahead.
