The Power of Zero
Today we’re going to talk about a topic that I call the power of zero. If you’ve ever talked to an investment advisor, you’ve probably heard them tell you that they’re going to help you get a higher return with less risk. The focus is on getting a higher return, and that's the end of the risk discussion. People often mess up investing because they don’t understand the impact that risk has on their retirement savings.

America's Retirement Crisis is Getting Worse
As more companies eliminate pension plans, many people are beginning to face the harsh reality that the responsibility for their retirement is on their own shoulders. Congress has done very little in the face of years of warnings that Social Security may be running into trouble. Many Americans are just like Congress when it comes to saving for retirement. They ignore the problem even when many signs indicate that the situation is only going to get worse.

Customer Reviews
Financial Advisor
Abosolutely excellent! Must hear for any retiree or soon to be retired.
Mostly a sales pitch, but some good ideas
Beyond the sales pitch, some good stuff, but one highly misleading point they keep making: no, Roth IRAs are not “tax-free;” the tax is paid upfront, not deferred. Huge difference. Also, while I want to pay as little in tax as the next guy, I would never do business (or continue listening to the podcast of) a company that leans into how they “HATE taxes.” Vote on how that money is spent and how much of it is required of us, but stop with the HATE stuff. Not attractive.
Good listen!
Mike is highly knowledgeable and makes complex topics easy to understand. Great listen with great information!
