The Guided Retirement Show is here to be your guide as you travel to and through a successful retirement. When you go on a vacation, you may think it’s something you can do on your own and that may be true. If the destination is the Grand Canyon and your only goal is to stand on the south rim of the Grand Canyon to see it, then it’s probably easy enough without a guide.

But what if you're taking a trip to the Amazon and you've never been there before? You know the rivers can be dangerous, there's all kinds of crazy animals out there, and you don't know your way around. In that situation, it would probably be a good idea to hire a guide. The same rationalization can be applied to your retirement. Learning to navigate the Amazon takes years of practice, likewise, navigating your retirement is no different. That’s why it’s important to have a guide to help you through your taxes, estate plan, insurance, Medicare, Social Security, and the many other precarious situations retirement brings your way.

Your guide on The Guided Retirement Show, Dean Barber, has been in the financial services industry for almost 32 years, focusing on financial planning for people that are getting near retirement or are already retired. Retirement is not just about money, it’s about your life and your goals!

    094: Revisiting Roth vs. Traditional with Corey Hulstein and Bud Kasper

    094: Revisiting Roth vs. Traditional with Corey Hulstein and Bud Kasper

    It’s hard to believe that we’re approaching the 100th episode of The Guided Retirement Show. But before we release that special episode later this season, we want to reflect on The Guided Retirement Show’s first two episodes. They were released back in 2019 and focused on Roth vs. traditional IRAs.
    Along with looking back at what all has changed in the tax code that impacts the Roth vs. traditional decision, we need to take a forward-looking approach during this discussion. That’s because there are new tax laws scheduled to start in 2026 after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act sunsets.
    There a lot of things that need to be considered when choosing between Roth and traditional. Modern Wealth Management Managing Directors Dean Barber and Bud Kasper and Director of Tax Corey Hulstein, CPA are going to review those considerations.
    In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:
    The Difference between Roth vs. Traditional Tax Rates Are Scheduled to Go Up in 2026 After the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Sunsets Some of the Key Changes with SECURE 2.0 The Ins and Outs of the Roth Five-Year Rules START PLANNING

Lots of interesting conversation about retirement

The amount of content covered in these podcasts is vast. Episodes can be about retirement lifestyle to very specific financial concepts for retirees. Great variety and interesting guests.

BCMusicLover ,

Not very useful

This podcast seems to be more about pushing non financial professionals into using services of a CFP. I have had nothing but horrific experiences with such “professionals “ as they don’t truly act as a fiduciary, that is they don’t truly act on your benefit, they act on theirs (assets under management fees eating away at your portfolio) so keep your money, do a little of your own work and invest wisely.

Ericinkc ,

Broad coverage of many topics!

A lot of gold in these podcasts. Great guests and topics!
