This Sunday, Brian and Kent start off the program talking about retirement and the emotions that are often tied to that money. Updates on the stock market, marginal tax rates, regressive and progressive taxes. Do you think that there's too many politics involved in our Social Security? Is it as efficient as it should be?
Employers that invest their time, energy, and money into their employees get more than just a well-performing staff. Tonight, the team talks about the importance of taking care of your team members if you're in any sort of leadership position. That includes decent pay! Plus, we discuss the nuances of buying gold and some cons to choosing gold as a tangible investment.
Tax professional, Hazen Armstrong, joins the program via phone all the way from Hawaii! Got any tax questions? We have them! In preparation for a possible Biden administration, some people may be close to making drastic changes to their investments. But be patient, because Brian thinks the market has already adjusted for it...
Biden has a plan to help save our Social Security crisis. While we may not know if it will work, at least it's a start. And that's what we need more of. We need more action, more solutions to solve our long-term problems. Something like Social Security shouldn't be political because it affects real life people. Will we be able to save our retirements?
Today marks the 33rd anniversary for Black Monday, a hard-hitting market crash back in 1987. For those who remember and were impacted, their attitudes towards money are most likely much different than what they were before. Would you be more inclined to pay taxes if you knew exactly where the money was being spent? Plus, more details for the upcoming open enrollment!
On this live Sunday broadcast, we get caller questions from all over the West! Many of them stemming from retirement and which investment vehicles will give you the most return at the end of the day.
A decline in your health is inevitable. So how are you going to prepare for it? Tonight's case study is about a couple who set themselves up financially to be able to pay for personal care without putting that burden onto their children. Finances are also known for tearing family relationships apart. However, a proper plan for every possible life event can help prevent conflict.
Even back in the days when we were trading with gold and other metals, we had mutual trust in the fact that it held value and that's what made it a currency. So what makes these new cryptocurrencies any different? Would you trust it with your money?
A big debate going on in D.C. at the moment is whether or not Americans should get another round of stimulus money. But do we NEED it? Us taxpayers are already billions of dollars in the hole. Businesses have already started operating again and the economy seems to be holding on, but that doesn't mean that people couldn't use the money. Do you need it? Brian once again expresses the importance of saving during unprecedented times.
Once again, Brian has had to be tested for COVID! We are all so tired of the pandemic, but would you be willing to do anything to get life back to normal? Will you take a vaccine for Coronavirus when it becomes available?
