On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian break down what most investors misunderstand about “risk” — and how that confusion could cost you more than any market drop ever will. They explore the real definition of risk, why sitting in cash might be riskier than you think, and how to create a retirement plan that accounts for volatility without derailing your future. Plus, hear why stock market bubbles might not be all bad (if you’re prepared), and what the Vanderbilt family can teach you about preserving wealth for generations. Later, in Ask the Advisor, they answer your questions about Roth conversions, gifting to children, charitable giving, and what to do with a large cash windfall. And in Brian’s Bottom Line, the essential estate planning move everyone should double-check today.
