Today we meet Bill Harris of WH Cornerstone Investments. He's the author of "Inheriting Your Spouse’s IRA: The Widow’s Guide to Keeping More of Her Assets"

We cover properly naming beneficiaries AND contingent beneficiaries, and a lot more.

“Change your clock, change your smoke alarm batteries, check your beneficiaries”

A 401(k) is NOT an IRA. They’re treated differently when you die, and you need to properly name your beneficiary. And your beneficiary needs to know what to do when you die...

Here's Bill's website:

So today I just wanted to give you some updates on one of the cornerstones of my retirement plan: Real estate syndications. I had two excellent updates come in this week, and thought I'd share them with you.

You might have heard about 31-year-old waitress Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and her "Tax the rich" message on her dress at the Met Gala. But did you hear about her dress designer's unwillingness to pay her taxes? I've got the scoop right here!

And there's new legislation being proposed to help encourage retirement savings. Is it gonna be a good thing, or just more bureaucracy?

And I have some free advice for you: avoid 'all-you-can-eat' sushi at all costs...

A couple months back I was on the Cortez Hustle Podcast and I figured, why not share it with YOU?

We cover a lot of ground, including Shark Tank, real estate, syndications, fear of the stock market, and other retirement information for solopreneurs. Self-employed people and entrepreneurs, as it turns out, can always use help with retirement planning and money management.

Check out the Cortez Hustle show here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cortez-hustle-show/id1509031372

Would you rather pay off your credit card and save 11% interest for the next year, or make an INSTANT 27% return?

Sometimes, it just ain't smart to follow the advice of financial gurus. Sometimes, you gotta do what Uncle Matt did, and you might get your retirement plan up and running sooner than later.
