  • The Anti-Bucket List of Retirement Planning

    We often talk about “bucket lists” in retirement – usually fun things we want to ‘check off’ once we leave the workforce.  But have you heard about an “anti-bucket list?”  It includes things a person never wants to experience or doesn’t want to repeat.  Some examples:

    • Go through a divorce.
    • Wait until the right time to travel.
    • Spending time in constant worry.  

    So, let’s apply this to retirement planning.  What are some of things that should be on that anti-bucket list?

  • Get ahead of inflation NOW and Creating Lifetime Income

    Since 2016, retirement plan sponsors have not been allowed to include annuities as a component of a 401(k).  But a new bill in Congress would change that.  The Lifetime Income for Employees Act would pave the way to make annuities a default investment for as much as 50% of plan balances.  Is this a good idea for those who didn’t necessarily make their own investment selections? David and Travis tackle this topic and how you can get ahead of inflation!
