Lance Roberts examines one of the most reliable technical analysis tools investors use to measure market risk: the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The RSI helps identify when markets are overbought, oversold, or diverging from price action. While RSI is not a perfect “buy or sell” signal, it is a powerful guardrail for risk management. History shows that overbought conditions can persist much longer than expected, but when momentum fades, corrections can arrive suddenly.

In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, shares a timely and personal perspective on the cost - and value - of college education. With one child already in college and another preparing to go, Darryl walks listeners through findings from SoFi's “The Cost of Admission” report and offers four hard-hitting takeaways that every family should consider before signing on the dotted line. From real-life debt stories to the generational impact of poor financial decisions, this episode is a candid look at what too many Americans learn the hard way: how you pay for college matters just as much as where you go. Key Highlights: Why “ignorance is not an excuse” when it comes to student loan debt. The $365,000 medical school debt story - and what it teaches us. What most borrowers say they regret about college financing. The importance of making affordability a higher priority than reputation. How parents can help kids “think long term” when planning their future. Whether you're planning for your child's education or revisiting your own financial journey, this episode delivers the kind of clarity that cuts through the noise.

I was thrilled to have my longtime friend and colleague Kate Horrell join me on the podcast. We've known each other for years—through mastermind groups and the broader military financial community—and I've always admired the work she does to support military families through education and advocacy. In this episode, Kate shares her incredible journey from being a new military spouse struggling with bills and benefits to becoming a trusted voice in the world of military personal finance. What started with checking out library books and reading Military Times columns turned into a career filled with purpose, creativity, and impact. She talks about reinventing herself with each PCS move, the moment she realized she was running an actual business, and how volunteering and community-building helped her gain clarity and confidence along the way. We also dig into her personal experience with military transition and retirement, and what she learned through her husband's retirement—even as someone who spent years preparing, Kate was surprised by how hard it really was. Lastly, we talk about her new book, College Planning for Military Families, which brings together everything she's learned about navigating education benefits and financial aid in the military world—especially helpful if, like her, you're trying to send multiple kids to college on a tight budget. This conversation is packed with honest reflections, laughs, and wisdom for anyone walking the line between military life and financial clarity. Whether you're a spouse, service member, or fellow financial professional, I know you'll walk away inspired by Kate's story and encouraged to carve your own path. https://www.linkedin.com/in/katehorrell/ https://www.katehorrell.com/books/

What are the smartest ways for HENRYs (High Earners, Not Rich Yet) to save for their child's future college expenses—and what are the pros and cons of each option?In this episode of The Confident Retirement Podcast, host Kris Flammang and LPF Advisors' Armando Faucy-Smith and Collin Habig take a deep dive into college planning for HENRYs. They break down the three most popular ways to save for your child's education—529 plans, custodial accounts, and parent-owned brokerage accounts. The team explains how each account works, key differences in flexibility, tax treatment, and financial aid impact, plus common mistakes to avoid when choosing the right college savings path.5 Key Takeaways→ A 529 plan offers tax advantages for education expenses and is generally the most “financial aid friendly” option for parents. → Custodial accounts (UGMA/UTMA) offer more flexibility but come with fewer tax benefits and count more heavily against financial aid eligibility. → Parent-owned brokerage accounts provide the most control and flexibility but lack tax perks for education and count as parental assets for financial aid. → Tax treatment, account ownership, and how funds are used (or not used for college) can have a huge impact on long-term savings outcomes. → It's essential to understand your goals, your state's rules, and to work with a financial advisor to tailor the right strategy for your family.Best Quotes from the Episode “The 529, of all the plans we're going to talk about today, is probably the broadest one in terms of defining higher education.” “People often underestimate how limited the flexibility is in a 529, and overestimate how free custodial money is—once your kid turns 18 or 21, that account is their money.” LPF Advisors Website: lpfadvisors.com Kris Flammang (LinkedIn): Kristopher Flammang Collin Habig (LinkedIn): Collin Habig Armando Faucy-Smith (LinkedIn): Armando Faucy-Smith Schedule a Consultation: Take your "money temperature" and create a personalized wealth-building strategy.

I recently spoke with Sam Bernstein, co-founder of Loper, a free mobile app designed to help students explore and discover their best educational opportunities after high school. The inspiration for Loper came out of the pandemic, where “life on pause” led to two college friends (Sam and his co-founder Eric) spending long nights discussing their shared passion: education. Fast forward two years and they quit their jobs to launch Loper, which has now helped nearly 200,000 students find best-fit opportunities after high school. Since founding Loper Sam has spoken at nearly a dozen industry conferences, and he always loves the opportunity to present to both students and parents on college and career readiness. Sam lives in Chicago, loves to bike, and (so far) has kept up with his 2025 resolution to read more fiction. In our conversation, Sam and I discussed: How students can use the Loper app to discover their best fit college How parents can use the app to help their student better manage the college planning process How counselors can use Loper to help their students with the college process And much more… To learn more about Loper, go to getloper.com or download the app for free. ---------- Start your scholarship journey this summer with the Scholarship Summer Camp.
