Retire Right With Brad White

After a decade plus of doing this radio show today will be Brad’s final show.  He tells us why and offers his final main lessons.

Well, there’s risk and there’s volatility and we’ve heard a lot about both of those here in the recent days and months. So, what’s the difference between risk and volatility?  Brad explains it to us in todays show. 

Well once again inflation makes the big headline this past Friday the 28th of March. The core PCE price index showed a .4% increase in February putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.8% - and both of those were higher than we expected which promptly caused a strong sell off on Friday.

Well, back in 1989, the band Queen opined the song “I Want It All and I Want It Now.” That’s kind of American society; we want it all and we want it now. But what if we had the wish that the market went up 0.032% every day, forevermore? Would we be satisfied? Some would; some would not. Brad is here to lay it all out.

The word fear gets thrown around a lot.  Balancing fear of running out of money in retirement, that’s pretty real for a lot of people and it’s not an idea you probably enjoy thinking about, but Brad White is here to talk through balancing that fear of running out of money with the idea of not enjoying your money before you leave this earth. 

So many people think that they are diversified because they have some stocks in the stock market, but the question is how many of those stocks are correlated with one another and they do basically the same thing.  Brad White helps talk us through this on todays show. 

On February 1st, President Donald Trump announced that he was going ahead with 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports, and a 10% import tax on Chinese goods. We welcome Brad White in today to discuss what tariffs are and what they mean for you.

Well, it’s a new year and time for resolutions.  Many of us make them, very few of us ever expect to get through an entire year and live up to it.  Let’s talk about it as it relates to the financial side of things with Brad White on today’s show. 

Let’s face it, adulting and taking care of all of our finances is hard and no matter how we set things up, things change, and we need to make adjustments. Brad is here today to make it an easy list so you can help do this – because there’s certain things that need to be done by year end and much better to cross them off the list so you can enjoy the holidays and spend all that panic budget of yours on gifts, not financial stuff to remember.
