[story about client who had 10s of thousands of dollars stolen from her bank account] According to a February 2021 report from the Federal Trade Commission, Americans reported losing $3.3 billion to fraud in 2020–a significant jump from the $1.8 billion reported in 2019.  The number of Americans reporting losing money to fraud is also on the rise, with 34% of 2020 fraud reports citing loss of money, versus 23% in 2019. And sometimes like with my client, there's no way to get your money back and worse, the breach of a criminal getting access to your sensitive info like your social security number can haunt you and expose you to new risks for years to come.  So this week on the podcast, I'll share with you the top ways cyber criminals can steal your information and your money, and the best ways to protect yourself That's it for today.

But with the debt ceiling looming and the U.S. government possibly exhausting its ability to borrow money as early as June 1st without a debt ceiling extension, I decided to cover a more timely and potentially very impactful topic this week.  Since you hear plenty about the debt ceiling in the news, you don't need me to report on the issue for you. Better sources than me exist for that. However, the debt ceiling is nothing new, and this years debt ceiling negotiations have potentially direct consequences for your retirement investments - everything from a few days to a few weeks of market turmoil to a full blown recession and chaos in the global financial system in the worst case scenario.  With that in mind, what does all of this mean for you and what if anything should you do about it? That's what I'll cover this week. That's it for today. Thanks for listening!

But with that additional time that many of us seem to have to relax and vacation in the summer, there's definitely room to add in a book or 2 that can help increase your net worth as well this summer.  So with that in mind, I've curated my top picks for books you should check out. Some of these books are classics, some are newer, and I'm sure there's at least one that you've never heard of. So stick around this week as I share with you my best picks for the beach or wherever you're planning to pick up a book this summer.  That's it for today. Thanks for listening! Come on back tomorrow where I'll talk about the personal finance book I first read in college that helped inspire me to become a financial advisor.  My name is Ashley Micciche...and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast. ---------- >>> Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2DI2LSP   >>> Subscribe on Amazon Alexa: https://amzn.to/2xRKrCs >>> Visit the podcast page: https://truenorthra.com/podcast/  ---------- Tags: retirement, investing, money, finance, financial planning, retirement planning, saving money, personal finance

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I'm your host Ashley Micciche, co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, an independent financial advisory practice managing $340 million in client assets. I'm a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor and I'm using my 15 years of experience as a financial advisor to help you gain clarity and make a plan for the retirement you envision. On this podcast, I cover everything from investing, to retirement spending, to taxes in retirement in just a few minutes each day, so if you're 5-10 years on either side of retirement, and looking for some daily doses of retirement planning wisdom, stick around this week as I talk about Retire…Never. Today, many Americans are choosing the never option when it comes to retirement.  Jay Simons (SI-muns), an 100 year old attorney still practicing law in Florida is an extreme example of this.  [background/story about the 100 year old attorney] https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/at-100-years-old-south-florida-lawyer-may-be-oldest-practicing-attorney-in-the-state/  While the vast majority of Americans do retire sometime in their 60s, that may not be a decision you're comfortable with, and it seems to be an increasing trend among Americans for a variety of reasons. So this week, we'll explore the drivers behind people choosing the never retire option, and the pros, cons, and limitations of this decision. That's it for today. Thanks for listening!

A free round of golf, and a nice dinner for my mom and mother in law and my sister over here, and then maybe I'll waste a couple hours sitting through your high pressure sales pitch.  Thankfully I just kept saying no to their lame free breakfast offer, because I am a real sucker for a good sales pitch. And there's at least a 50/50 chance that I would be the reluctant owner of a timeshare in Mazatlan today if I didn't know better. But that's the problem, many of us don't learn our lesson until it's too late, so this week, I'll share with you why timeshares and other money traps should be avoided to help you steer clear of these bad financial blunders. That's it for today. Thanks for listening! Come on back tomorrow…where I'll talk about a newer money trap: the buy now, pay later apps.

Our brain needs habits, so we're not constantly needing to expend energy on relearning things we do regularly. As a result, we just go through the motions on many things we do regularly, without giving it a second thought. Which is fine for good habits, but what about our bad habits? Because we don't maintain conscious control over our habits, bad ones can be hard to break, including our bad financial habits. So, to make better financial decisions, we need to cultivate good habits. So this week, I'll talk about 5 ways you can better recognize and work to improve your bad money habits, and turn them into good habits.  That's it for today. Thanks for listening!

If he doesn't understand taxes, it should make you and I feel a bit better.  When it comes to taxes on your investments, taxes should never be the primary driver behind investment decisions. In other words, as I tell clients frequently, you should never let the tax tail wag the dog.  Yet, taxes are still a very important consideration with where and how you invest, and how you prioritize savings among different types of accounts like your 401k, Roth, and taxable accounts, all of which are taxed in very different ways.  If you fail to consider taxes, it's easy to leave 2% or more a year in returns on the table, which over a lifetime of investing can easily add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars that you could have otherwise have saved for retirement, had you been more tax savvy.  So this week, I'll talk about  That's it for today.

On this podcast, I cover everything from investing, to retirement spending, to taxes in retirement in just a few minutes each day, so if you're 5-10 years on either side of retirement, and looking for some daily doses of retirement planning wisdom, stick around this week as I talk about The Downside of Being Wealthy. I know someone who sold his business for several million dollars a couple of years ago. After working hard his entire life, building a successful business from scratch, this business owner had reached an idyllic end to his working life - a financially secure retirement, free from ever worrying about money again. But then something unfortunate but not uncommon happened…he realized that his identity and sense of who he was was handcuffed to his identity as an owner of a successful business. He didn't know how to be retired, enjoy his comfortable income and assets.  He felt like a purposeless rudderless ship, and the discontent spilled over into his marriage as well. Less than 2 years after selling his business, he was divorced and lost half of his wealth.  The lesson here is twofold. First of all, many people fall into the temptation of letting the source of their wealth - in this case his identity as a business owner - define who they are, and it's like building a house on sand. He built his entire life on the wrong foundation and the wrong identity and as soon as he got what he thought he wanted (selling his business and attaining comfortable wealth and financial security) everything else fell apart.  The other lesson is that a higher net worth doesn't mean you'll be happier or have a better life. There are, in fact, real downsides of being wealthy. And it's important that each of us understands those downsides, so we don't blindly pursue more with the misguided idea that it will lead to happiness and fulfillment.   So this week, I'll talk about how the pursuit of money can cause you to waste your life, how it can distort your relationships, overcomplicate your life, and lead to unhappiness if you're not careful and learn to develop a rightly ordered relationship with money. I'll also give you some practical tips on how to avoid some of the pitfalls of being wealthy.  That's it for today. Thanks for listening!

But there's a great article that came out a few weeks ago that talks about ways to benefit from higher interest rates. So this week, I'll talk about how higher interest rates can potentially benefit you in a variety of ways…and in some ways you may not have considered before.  That's it for today.

For the first time in 15 years, yields on bonds are attractive and in 2023, investors are more optimistic that the Fed will slow down the pace of rate hikes, which means both higher income and yield from bonds and more price stability in your bond portfolio as well.  So this week we'll take a closer look at the bond market, areas you want to avoid and opportunities that exist for bond investors in 2023.  That's it for today.

With the original SECURE Act, there were several major changes that impact retirement plans…the biggest one being  In 2022, Congress passed an expansion of the original SECURE Act, with more far-reaching implications for nearly all retirement investors. The good news is that these implications are largely positive changes, so this week, I'll break down some of the key provisions of the new SECURE 2.0 Act to help you better understand what it will mean for you and your retirement.  That's it for today.

Point taken…however, I think it's the perfect time to be thinking about or perhaps re-assessing your goals or resolutions for the new year. Usually in late DEcember, for those of us who make new years goals and resolutions, we're full of enthusiasm, but as is often the case, that enthusiasm starts to fade once reality sets in and we've only lost 5 lbs in January after choking down dry chicken breast and broccoli at every meal since the first of the year.  So this week, I encourage you to think about goals you've made for the year, and I want to give you permission to re-assess those goals, change them, or even remove something that's maybe not as important to you as you might have thought. I'll be sharing with you the criteria for setting goals that will help you actually improve your chances of reaching those goals, some ideas for financial goals and resolutions to inspire you this year, and even some anti-resolutions worth considering to remove something from your plate to improve your life, rather than adding something new.  That's it for today.

It's anyone's guess really, but I'll talk about how the current environment and trends in the economy and markets will likely impact your retirement investment portfolio, as well as opportunities that are unique for 2023.  The most important thing to keep at the forefront of your mind in 2023 can best be summed up in a quote by Warren Buffett: “The best chance to deploy capital is when things are going down.” In other words uncertainty and potential pain lies ahead in 2023. But that's not necessarily a bad thing if you understand what's happening and how to take advantage of it.  That's it for today. Thanks for listening! Come on back tomorrow…where I'll recap 2022 and lay the foundation for 2023.  My name is Ashley Micciche...and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast. ---------- >>> Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2DI2LSP >>> Subscribe on Amazon Alexa: https://amzn.to/2xRKrCs >>> Visit the podcast page: https://truenorthra.com/podcast/  ---------- Tags: retirement, investing, money, finance, financial planning, retirement planning, saving money, personal finance

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I'm your host Ashley Micciche, co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, an independent financial advisory practice managing $340 million in client assets. I'm a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor and I'm using my 15 years of experience as a financial advisor to help you gain clarity and make a plan for the retirement you envision. On this podcast I help you plan and invest wisely for a secure and comfortable retirement in just a few minutes each day, so if you're 5-10 years on either side of retirement, and looking for some daily doses of retirement planning wisdom, you're in the right place.  The theme this week on the podcast is: The Best of 2022 I'm bringing you into the new year with some of my favorite episodes and topics from this past year. I'll cover everything from…3 reasons to pay off debt before retirement to why you should fund your health savings account before any other retirement savings account, to one of the episodes that has aged particularly well this year: Why I hate cryptocurrency.  I am due to have baby #4 on January 1st, so for the next 2 weeks, I'll recap the best of episodes from 2022, then starting January 9th, I'll be taking a couple of weeks off the podcast. I'll return with new episodes the week of January 23rd.  If you have a goal or resolution for 2023 that's related to your finances, send me an email and let me know what your goal is and how you plan to achieve it, and any potential roadblocks or challenges you think you might have with reaching your goal.  I'll pick my favorite submissions and feature them on the podcast later this month. My email is ashleym@truenorthra.com. That's ashleym@truenorthra.com.I hope what I have to share with you these next 2 weeks will help you make smart and thoughtful decisions with your retirement. And while I am careful to not lead you astray, personal finance is not an exact science. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for everyone, so I encourage you to disregard anything I say that may not be helpful for you, and to consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors regarding your own individual situation.  That's it for today. Come on back tomorrow where I'll kick off the best of with the #1 reason you shouldn't retire in 2022, that still holds true for 2023.  Thanks for listening!

With public opinion shifting on the legalization of marajuana, the industry seemed ripe for explosive growth as more and more states have legalized pot over the last several years.  But that's not what happened. Yes, legalization has spread to other states and I think it's very likely that it will become legal at the federal level at some point, but investing in marajuana stocks has largely been a losing game for investors over the last several years.  So what happened to this sure fire bet and why have most marajuana stocks fared poorly while legalization has spread?  I'll talk about that and more in this week's theme, sharing with you lessons to be learned from marajuana companies and several other sure fire bets that fizzled out, and how you can avoid the temptation to be seduced by a sure winner that's a sure loser in disguise.  That's it for today.

On this podcast, I cover everything from investing, to retirement spending, to taxes in retirement in just a few minutes each day, so if you're 5-10 years on either side of retirement, and looking for some daily doses of retirement planning wisdom, you're in the right place.  The theme this week on the podcast is: Top Challenges Retirees Face In 2023 I talk to clients every day about the challenges they face, both in retirement, and in planning for retirement in the next few years.  For most of my clients, there is a foundational anxiety about running out of money before they run out of years. Every specific challenge you might face in retirement when it comes to your money - whether that's paying for healthcare, dealing with higher inflation, or needing long-term care - is rooted in the possibility that one of more of these issues will deplete your savings and you'll lose your financial independence.  So this week I'll talk about some of the key challenges that retirees face, both perennially as well as some unique challenges in 2023 specifically. 2 of the more unique challenges for this upcoming year is higher inflation that doesn't appear to be disappearing anytime soon, as well as unprecedented portfolio declines - even for more conservative bond investors.  On top of this, retirees also have to contend with taxes, increasing health care costs, and income gaps that can sometimes prove to be unsustainable.  So whether you're still working or already retired, stick around this week and I'll share more about how you can address these challenges in your own life.  That's it for today. Thanks for listening! Come on back tomorrow…where I'll talk about one of the key issues that's uniquely challenging in 2023 for retirees - inflation.  My name is Ashley Micciche...and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast. ---------- >>> Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2DI2LSP >>> Subscribe on Amazon Alexa: https://amzn.to/2xRKrCs >>> Visit the podcast page: https://truenorthra.com/podcast/  ----------Tags: retirement, investing, money, finance, financial planning, retirement planning, saving money, personal finance

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I'm your host Ashley Micciche, co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, an independent financial advisory practice managing $340 million in client assets. I'm a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, and I started this podcast because I love helping people just like you gain clarity and make a plan for the retirement you envision The theme this week on the podcast is: How to fire your financial advisor Many investors who work with a financial advisor aren't satisfied with the relationship,  and plenty of DIY investors may not be that satisfied with the relationship of the investment company they're working with, and would prefer to move their accounts and work with someone else, but if that sounds like you, a lot of roadblocks prevent you from making a change.  You may think that it sounds like too big of a headache to move your accounts or you worry about triggering taxes or penalties because of your move. Or maybe you've been working with your advisor for a long time, and you consider them a friend, you're afraid of the damage that making the switch will do to the relationship. Guilt or fear of the unknown keeps you from making the change.  Believe me, I understand. I love the gal who does my hair, but her salon is in one of the worst parts of downtown Portland, where you've seen boarded up buildings, riots, and homeless encampments. I'm convinced that every time I go see her that I will return to my car with a window smashed in, but I won't leave her.  So this week I'll talk about why clients will leave their financial advisor, the steps you should take if you're ready to make a change, and why it might be easier to make the switch than you might think.  That's it for today.

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast!  I'm your host Ashley Micciche, co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, an independent financial advisory practice managing $340 million in client assets. I'm a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, and I started this podcast because I love helping people just like you gain clarity and make a plan for the retirement you envision.  The theme this week on the podcast is: How To Stop Financially Supporting Your Adult Children Have you heard of the boomerang kid? Perhaps you have a boomerang kid of your own. They are adult children who leave the nest, then boomerang back home and back onto the bankroll of mom and dad.  According to the U.S. Census Bureau data from 2015, a third of young people–or 24 million of those aged 18 to 34–lived with their parents. That trend has worsened since the pandemic, leading many close-to-retirement age parents stuck with financially supporting their adult children, and falling behind on their own retirement savings as a result. Many parents of boomerang kids would prefer to stop financially supporting their adult children, but for a variety of reasons, they feel stuck in their current circumstances. So this week, I'll talk about how you can gracefully and lovingly push those boomerang kids back out of the nest, which will allow you to refocus on saving enough for your own retirement, so you won't have to boomerang back to the boomerang kids when you're 80 and outlived your assets.  That's it for today.
