The theme this week on the One Minute Retirement Tip podcast is: the problem with financial experts. 

I’m talking about some of the challenges of taking advice from TV personalities, chief investment strategists at large financial institutions, the newspaper article you read this morning, the radio show host who tells you to buy gold, and other so-called experts. 

Financial advice is so prevalent...heck, you’re listening to it right now. Whether we are conscious of it or not, we are constantly exposed to financial advice. That advice isn’t always bad, but there’s most often an ulterior motive - the dispenser of that advice is usually trying to sell you something - whether it’s ratings or keeping you coming back tomorrow night to watch your favorite financial news program, or some type of financial product or service, the advice you receive should always be taken with a grain of salt. 

Even if the dispenser of that advice isn’t doing anything nefarious, their biases will naturally creep into their advice. 

So this week on the One Minute Retirement Tip podcast, I’m going to dive deeply into the problems with some of the biggest offenders of giving bad financial advice, and I’ll share with you some great places to look for financial advice instead. 

That’s it for today. But before you go, I want to share with you a weekly theme I have planned and I need your help. It’s “ask me anything” week. Submit your question about retirement to me, and if I pick your question, I’ll read it and answer it on the podcast.                                                             

• What’s weighing most heavily on your mind as you approach retirement? 
• What obstacles are keeping you from where you want to be?
• Even if you just want my crystal ball predictions on inflation, the stock market, or interest rates, I’ll put my magic merlin hat on and answer your burning questions 

Just send me an email: [email protected]. That’s [email protected].

Thanks for listening! My name is Ashley Micciche...and this is the One Minute Retirement Tip.
