Wealth Rescue Podcast

Gracie in Tampa has a question for us on this week's podcast about fee-based advising vs. fee-only advisors. It brings up the overarching question of how advisors get paid and make a living in the first place. And ultimately, Gracie wants to know what set-up is best for her as the client.

Some people mistakenly think that once one spouse is out of the picture, the remaining spouse will only need half as much income. That's not typically the case. On this week's podcast, we'll ask Leo to break that myth and he'll detail for us a more realistic picture.

Many people want to be very intentional about leaving a financial legacy to their kids and grandkids. We'll ask Leo how he usually walks people through that conversation and he'll uncover some of the landmines you'll want to avoid when doing financial planning for future generations.

They say these days that there’s a holiday of every day of the year. It’s kind of true. In fact, the month of April, for example, is home to Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, Fresh Florida Tomato Month, Fresh Celery Month, Multiple Birth Awareness Month and National Soft Pretzel Month (sorry hard pretzels, you guys have to wait until the overall National Pretzel Month in October). What does all this have to with finances? Well, April is also National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, which gave us the idea to discuss some of things that distract us financially. And since every single other thing in existence gets a holiday, we’ll make up our own to discuss on this week’s podcast. It’s National Distracted Investor Awareness Month. We’ll reveal the distractions that often peel our attention away from being good investors and savers and give you tips on how to stay on track.
