The price you pay at the pharmacy isn't just about the drug—it's about the plan, the pharmacy network, and the rules hidden in the fine print. We break down a simple, repeatable method to shop Medicare Part D so you protect access to your doctors and treatment while cutting real costs. With Medicare's new $2,000 out-of-pocket cap, the math changes: premiums and pharmacy choice now drive your savings more than fear of runaway brand-name bills.We walk through Medicare.gov step by step—creating your account, reviewing your medication history, and adding every pharmacy you actually use, from your local favorite to the chain near your vacation home. You'll learn how to identify preferred pharmacies, interpret plan deductibles that often bypass generics, and compare total annual cost, not just the monthly premium. Along the way, we share client stories that show how zero-premium plans can deliver $0 copays on key generics and how pairing Part D with Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs can slash prices on certain fills without sacrificing convenience.If you rely on insulin or name-brand medications, you'll hear how to prioritize plans that price your specific drugs best, why star ratings matter for service and fewer headaches, and the easiest way to enroll online. We also cover pro moves like setting premiums to auto-deduct from Social Security to avoid missed payments and ensuring your new card is on file before January 1 so refills don't stall. It's a clear, calm guide for you and the loved ones you help—because the right plan isn't the cheapest on paper, it's the one that fits your real life.If this helped, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review to help others find practical Medicare guidance.

Live from Boston on the final stop of the Advisory Amplified tour, Blake sits down with James Erving from Fathom and Chris Macksey from Prix Fixe Accounting to explore what advisory services really mean beyond bookkeeping and compliance. Chris shares how his firm requires advisory for all restaurant clients, using industry expertise and operational metrics to guide decisions on everything from menu pricing to expansion timing. The conversation covers the difference between delivering information versus being integral to decision-making, with insights on forecasting, benchmarking, and why visual KPIs help clients with low financial literacy understand their business performance.Chapters(00:22) - Welcome to the Earmark Podcast (01:15) - Prix Fixe Accounting: A Niche in Hospitality (02:25) - Advisory Services in the Restaurant Industry (06:20) - Forecasting and Budgeting for Restaurants (06:59) - Getting Started with Advisory Services (13:40) - Defining Advisory Services (17:35) - The Value of Metrics and Visuals (25:24) - Advice for Firms Starting Advisory Services (27:40) - Conclusion and Final Thoughts Sign up to get free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://earmarkcpe.comhttps://earmark.app/Download the Earmark CPE App Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/earmark-cpe/id1562599728Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.earmarkcpe.appConnect with Our Guests: James ErvingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameserving/Learn more about FathomOfficial website: http://fathomhq.comChris MackseyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmacksey/Learn more about Prix Fixe AccountingOfficial website: https://prixfixe.accountants/Connect with Blake Oliver, CPALinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blaketoliverTwitter: https://twitter.com/blaketoliver/

Haris Ikram, Co-founder and CEO of CandorIQ, and Chad Atwell, Head of Customer Success and Advisory Services at CandorIQ, join us this episode to discuss the critical, yet often disconnected, relationship between HR and finance in workforce planning. They explore why these teams often operate in silos and how they can collaborate more effectively on headcount and compensation to drive business success. The conversation also gets into the changing definition of the workforce, the role of data in strategic planning, and how AI is shaping the future of work and employee skills. [0:00] Introduction Welcome, Haris and Chad! Today's Topic: Bridging the Gap Between HR and Finance in Workforce Planning [5:50] Why HR and finance teams don't collaborate, even though they should The different objectives driving each team.  How to manage a multifaceted and flexible approach to getting work done in the modern economy.  [20:06] What's workforce planning and what challenges might be present? Workforce planning is about having the right people—and now AI agents—in place to get the work done.  How to manage a multifaceted and flexible approach to getting work done in the modern economy.  [37:53] How AI and agents are influencing workforce planning How AI is automating tactical work, creating a greater need for employees with skills in critical thinking, creativity, and strategy.  The importance of measuring the true productivity impact of AI over time, and why companies must be thoughtful about its implementation.  [43:46] Closing Thanks for listening! Quick Quote “Layoffs cause an immense amount of harm for the companies as well. I mean, there's lots of research out there that will show dips or even just outright dives in company confidence, people's belief in future career opportunities, confidence in leadership.”

Year-end can either drain your wallet or sharpen your plan. We chose the latter and mapped out a clear, 15-minute money tune-up you can run before the holidays hit full speed. We start with practical steps to tame seasonal spending—set a simple gift cap, try a family name-draw, coordinate with grandparents, and lock in travel numbers—so December doesn't turn into a last-minute splurge-fest. With your holiday budget set, we pivot to boosting savings the smart way: adjust 401(k) contributions after pay changes, consider Roth options for tax flexibility, and automate a Roth IRA so you're not scrambling at tax time.Markets have been strong, which makes rebalancing more important, not less. If large-cap growth has crept beyond your target, we explain how to trim gains and add to value or international to keep risk in check. Nearing retirement? Bonds aren't just ballast anymore. With yields back, fixed income can provide income and act as a shock absorber when stocks get jittery. We share a practical guideline for increasing bond exposure as retirement approaches and how to tailor it to your timeline and withdrawals.Open enrollment is your once-a-year chance to upgrade benefits. We break down the high-deductible health plan plus Health Savings Account combo, the triple tax advantages, and a strategy to invest HSA dollars for those expensive pre-Medicare years if you want to retire early. We also cover using up FSA balances on preventive care you might be delaying. To wrap, we streamline your financial footprint: consolidate old 401(k)s, reduce logins, and manage every account under one unified allocation so your portfolio works as a single, coherent plan.If this helped you steady your year-end money plan, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review—tell us the first task you're tackling today.

Pensions are fading, and the 401(k) is now the primary engine for a real retirement paycheck. We unpack what that shift means for your money, from how much to save to which account type—pre-tax or Roth—gives you the most control over future taxes. We start by challenging the “save to the match” mindset and show why 15% is a more reliable target for long-term security, especially if you didn't start in your early twenties.We dig into the fine print that quietly costs people thousands: vesting schedules and small-balance cash-outs when changing jobs. You'll learn how to time career moves so you keep employer dollars, and how to roll old 401(k)s in minutes instead of paying taxes and penalties on a forced distribution. Then we get practical about investing inside the plan—when a target-date fund is “good enough,” what to check for (fees, glide path, risk), and how to build a simple, low-cost, diversified mix if your default option isn't pulling its weight.The conversation peaks with the Roth 401(k), a standout strategy for younger and higher-earning listeners who want tax-free income later. We clear up the biggest myth—there's no income limit for Roth 401(k) contributions—and walk through how employer money differs from yours at tax time. With current contribution limits of $23,500 under 50 (plus $7,500 catch-up if you're 50+), we lay out step-up tactics to reach 15% without shocking your budget. By treating your 401(k) like your future paycheck, and combining smart savings, vesting awareness, clean rollovers, and tax-savvy investing, you'll build a plan that compounds quietly and pays loudly.If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge on their 401(k), and leave a quick review so others can find it.

Panic sells, but context pays. We break down the latest “shutdown showdown” and strip it to the essentials: what actually stops, what keeps going, and how the market usually behaves when politics hog the headlines. From national parks and TSA lines to passport and IRS delays, we map the real-world annoyances you might feel—then zoom out to the history that shows why short shutdowns rarely leave lasting marks on your portfolio.We walk through the counterintuitive market moves you might see—like Treasuries rallying as investors seek safety—while stocks get choppy and volatility jumps. More importantly, we share a practical investor playbook that replaces guesswork with guardrails: keep a cash buffer for near-term needs, stick to your long-term allocation, automate contributions and rebalancing, and resist the urge to trade on political predictions. Washington's timeline is messy and nonlinear; markets usually price the drama before most people can react, which makes knee-jerk decisions costly.If shutdown headlines have you on edge, you'll leave with clarity and a calmer plan. Hold your ground, focus on what you can control, and let your process do the heavy lifting while the news cycle spins. If this helped steady your nerves, share it with someone who's doomscrolling and needs a reset. Subscribe, leave a quick review, and tell us: what headline tempts you to hit the sell button?

Ready to optimize your retirement savings strategy? Let's clear up some confusion about Roth vs. Traditional retirement accounts that might be costing you thousands in future tax benefits.First, let's bust a common myth: there are NO income limits for Roth 401(k) contributions! While Roth IRAs do have income restrictions, your salary never disqualifies you from making Roth 401(k) contributions if your employer offers this option. And starting next year, highly-compensated employees over 50 will need to make their catch-up contributions as Roth.Traditional accounts give you an immediate tax break by reducing your taxable income now, with taxes due on both contributions and earnings when you withdraw in retirement. Roth accounts offer no immediate tax deduction, but qualified withdrawals in retirement—including decades of compound growth—come out completely tax-free.For early-career savers, I generally recommend Roth contributions regardless of income. The power of tax-free compounding over 30-40 years typically outweighs immediate tax savings. Mid-career professionals face a more nuanced decision based on current tax situations and future tax rate expectations. Pre-tax contributions can strategically keep your income below thresholds for valuable tax benefits like the expanded SALT deduction or child tax credits. Meanwhile, Roth IRAs offer a hidden emergency fund feature—you can withdraw contributions (not earnings) anytime without penalties.Running scenarios through tax software can help quantify the difference between these options for your specific situation. But remember, while saving strategically matters, I've never met anyone who regretted saving too much for retirement—just don't forget to enjoy life with loved ones along the way!Want more financial insights delivered in 15 minutes or less?

You've spent decades building your investment accounts, monitoring the markets, and contributing to your 401(k). That's great. But here's the truth: you're not ready to retire if that's all you've done. Retirement planning isn't just about your portfolio; it's about so much more. On today's episode, we're diving into all the non-investment decisions that can make or break your retirement.   Important Links: Website: https://www.cpweldegroup.com/ Call: 610-388-7705   Financial Planning and Advisory Services are offered through Prosperity Capital Advisors ("PCA") an SEC registered investment adviser with its principal place of business in the State of Ohio.

Ever find yourself feeling financially inadequate after scrolling through social media? You're not alone. Financial FOMO—the fear of missing out when comparing your money situation to others—affects nearly everyone, but it can lead to decisions that derail your financial future.As we explore in this episode, humans are naturally wired to compare ourselves against others. The problem intensifies with social media, where we only see the highlight reels—the new cars, fancy vacations, and investment wins—without glimpsing the complete financial picture beneath the surface. What looks like success might actually be hiding massive debt, empty bank accounts, or financial anxiety.I share my personal experience with financial peer pressure: backing out of buying a practical minivan because someone made fun of me, only to regret it for years afterward. This story illustrates how allowing others' opinions to influence our financial decisions often leads to choices that don't align with our actual needs and values. The question isn't "What do others have that I don't?" but rather "What do I truly want and need?"To combat financial FOMO, try these practical strategies: limit your social media scrolling, celebrate your own financial milestones (like paying off debt), automate your savings and investments, and find your "money tribe"—people who share your financial values and priorities. Remember, when you see someone's flashy purchases online, you're only seeing the tip of the iceberg, not the potential financial stress hidden beneath.Your financial journey is yours alone. Focus on your own scorecard and make your own garden grow. What financial goals are you working toward that matter to YOU?

In this episode of HFS Unfiltered Stories, Saurabh Gupta, President of Research and Advisory Services at HFS Research, sits down with Jay Desai, Head of IT Infrastructure Operations at JTI, for an eye-opening conversation on bridging the often-disconnected worlds of business, IT, and cybersecurity. Jay shares hard-earned lessons from leading Global Business Services (GBS) through geopolitical shocks, shifting into IT and cyber leadership, and navigating the GenAI hype with realism and grit. This is a rare look into what it really takes to drive enterprise transformation, from aligning C-suite incentives to overcoming organizational resistance. Whether you're scaling GenAI or building connected enterprise models, this conversation is full of truth bombs, leadership insights, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from being on both sides of the transformation divide. Key discussion points:Breaking Functional Silos: Why IT, GBS, and cybersecurity leaders must adopt a shared vision to enable true enterprise-wide transformation.The Moral Hazard in Transformation: How misaligned ownership of costs vs. benefits creates friction between business and IT, and how to solve it.Why the 'OneOffice' Vision Still Eludes Us: The challenge of aligning incentives and OKRs across finance, IT, and HR departments.GenAI: From Hype to Reality: Why GenAI is stuck in POC purgatory, and what leaders must fix to unlock real value.Enterprise ‘Debts' Beyond Technology: Cultural, process, and people debt are just as critical as technical debt in holding back transformation.Leadership Lessons in the AI Era: Jay's real-world advice to aspiring leaders, embrace failure, earn trust, and be unapologetically authentic.Tune in now to hear what it really takes to lead across silos—and why the future belongs to those who can connect dots others can't.

Firm owners are expected to wear many hats and look after numerous clients at the same time. But without the right processes and boundaries, you could experience client chaos and overwhelm. Michelle Weinstein shares how The Abundant Accountant can help you resolve this hurdle with one of her clients, Melissa Schroder of Melissa's Advisory Service, LLC. Melissa reflects on how the eight-week sales mastery course helped her take control of her finances, determine which clients to let go, and add up to $27,000 to her revenue. Tune in as she shares how embracing such a huge change allowed her to bring her career to greater heights and get out of the hamster wheel.

The healthcare landscape changes dramatically when you hit retirement age, and Medicare—that government program you've been paying into for decades—finally becomes available. But is it really the free healthcare solution many Americans believe it to be? In this illuminating episode, we unpack the reality behind the Medicare system and what it actually costs retirees.Many approaching retirement assume Medicare will eliminate their healthcare expenses, but the truth is far more complex. We break down each component of Medicare—from premium-free Part A (hospital coverage) with its surprising $1,600 per-stay deductible to Part B's monthly premiums of $175 for doctor visits and medical tests. You'll learn why Medicare Part C (Advantage Plans) might seem attractive with added vision and dental benefits but could ultimately restrict your healthcare choices, and why traditional Medicare with a supplement plan offers more comprehensive coverage despite higher upfront costs.The financial reality is sobering: even with Medicare, retirees should budget $6,000-$10,000 per person annually for healthcare expenses. This includes premiums, deductibles, and costs for services Medicare doesn't cover like comprehensive dental, vision, and hearing care. We share practical strategies for managing these expenses, including leveraging HSA accounts from your working years to cover Medicare premiums tax-free, and why coordinating your Social Security start date with Medicare enrollment can simplify premium payments.Don't get caught unprepared by Medicare's complexities. Whether you're approaching retirement or helping aging parents navigate their healthcare options, this episode provides the clear, straightforward guidance you need to make informed decisions. And remember to review your coverage during the annual open enrollment period from October through December 7th—even if you're satisfied with your current plan, as benefits and networks frequently change.

Ever wonder why that big raise or promotion didn't actually change your financial situation? The culprit might be what financial experts call "lifestyle creep" – the gradual elevation of spending habits that silently consumes increased income before it can build your wealth.In this focused financial guidance session, we examine how even six-figure earners find themselves living paycheck to paycheck due to incremental lifestyle upgrades. Those seemingly minor changes – switching from home-cooked meals to frequent takeout, upgrading from budget vacations to luxury resorts, or adding multiple streaming services – collectively create a significant drain on financial resources. I share a revealing conversation with a friend spending thousands monthly on meal delivery services while simultaneously seeking financial advice, highlighting how awareness doesn't always translate to action.The antidote to lifestyle creep isn't deprivation but deliberate decision-making. I recommend comparing current spending against statements from two years ago to identify inflation in personal expenses, and suggest following a modified 50-30-20 rule when handling raises: limit lifestyle increases to just 30% of new income while directing the remainder toward savings and investments. Building real wealth doesn't come from earning more – it comes from keeping more of what you earn. Try this practical challenge: when you receive your next raise, maintain your current lifestyle for a full month and experience how it feels to have that extra money accumulating rather than disappearing. Then make intentional choices about where that money should go for maximum long-term benefit.Remember that today's financial discipline creates tomorrow's freedom. Small, consistent actions to combat lifestyle creep will compound over time, allowing your future self to enjoy genuine financial security rather than just an upgraded version of paycheck-to-paycheck living. What could your financial future look like if you kept more of each raise you earned? Envision Financial Planning. 5100 Poplar Avenue, Suite 2428, Memphis, TN 38137. (901) 422-7526.

Navigating the tax maze just got a little more interesting with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Despite headlines suggesting "tax-free Social Security," the reality offers different but substantial benefits for various groups of Americans.Seniors aged 65 and older can now claim an additional $6,000 deduction ($12,000 for married couples) regardless of whether they itemize or take the standard deduction. This benefit applies even if you haven't started taking Social Security yet, though it phases out for higher-income households. Meanwhile, service industry workers rejoice – tip income can now be excluded from taxable income below certain thresholds, potentially saving servers and other tipped professionals thousands in taxes annually. The SALT deduction cap jumps from $10,000 to $40,000 for most taxpayers, though the marriage penalty remains firmly in place with couples limited to the same $40,000 cap as singles.Car buyers will appreciate the new deduction for up to $10,000 in auto loan interest, while charitable givers face a mixed bag of changes – non-itemizers can deduct $1,000-$2,000 in donations starting next year, but itemizers lose deductibility on their first 0.5% of income donated. Each provision comes with different income limitations based on adjusted gross income, creating planning opportunities for those near these thresholds. Consider strategies like increased retirement contributions or qualified charitable distributions to optimize your position under these new rules.Most Americans will see lower tax bills in the coming three years, but remember – in taxation, "permanent" rarely means forever. As administrations and priorities shift, so too will the tax landscape. Listen now to understand how these changes affect your financial picture and what proactive steps might save you money before filing season arrives.Breaking Down The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”: Impact Of New Laws On Tax Planning Summaryhttps://www.kitces.com/blog/obbba-one-big-beautiful-bill-act-tax-planning-salt-cap-senior-deduction-qbi-deduction-tax-cut-and-jobs-act-tcja-amt-trump-accounts/ Envision Financial Planning. 5100 Poplar Avenue, Suite 2428, Memphis, TN 38137.

Ever felt paralyzed by not knowing exactly what financial goals to set for your future? You're not alone. This episode tackles the common dilemma many young professionals face: how to save for a future you can't yet envision.Drawing from personal experience, I share how my husband and I discovered our love for Colorado's mountains later in life – a passion we couldn't have predicted in our twenties. Had we waited until identifying this specific goal before saving, our mountain property dream would have remained permanently out of reach. The lesson? Start saving now, even without specific targets.The episode reveals what I consider the ultimate saving hack: when you receive significant pay increases early in your career, resist dramatically changing your lifestyle. Make reasonable upgrades to safety and reliability, but otherwise maintain modest living standards and invest the difference. This approach creates remarkable financial flexibility by your 50s – options like early retirement, vacation homes, helping your children financially, or pursuing passions you haven't yet discovered.We also explore smarter consumption decisions, like our choice to rent boats occasionally rather than purchase one despite owning "everything for a boat except the boat." Having savings gives you the luxury of thoughtful consideration rather than impulsive decisions. Plus, financial security significantly reduces relationship tensions, as money ranks as the number one source of conflict among couples.Time truly is your greatest investment ally – the power of compound interest over decades makes starting early crucial. Don't let uncertainty about specific goals prevent you from saving. Begin now, invest consistently, and create options for a future self you haven't even met yet.
