COSTLY MISTAKES NOT HAVING ESTATE PLANNING DOCUMENTS FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Estate planning isn't only for the wealthy. Without the right documents, families may face legal challenges, financial stress, and uncertainty. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explain why putting off estate planning is a costly mistake, and how to avoid it. Full Description Estate planning is often misunderstood. Many assume it's only necessary for people with large estates, but in reality, nearly everyone benefits from having key documents in place. A lack of planning can leave families unprepared, force courts to make critical decisions, and create unnecessary stress during already difficult times. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge discuss the risks of not having essential estate planning documents. They explain the role of wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives in ensuring that your wishes are carried out. They also highlight how trusts can provide structure for transferring assets, minimizing disputes, and reducing costs for loved ones. Listeners will hear stories of families caught unprepared because estate documents weren't updated—or never created. Sandy and Tyler emphasize that estate planning is not a one-time task. It must evolve with changes in family circumstances, financial situations, and state or federal laws. The episode also explores the emotional benefits of planning. Having documents in place allows families to focus on care and connection instead of conflict and confusion. It's not just about money; it's about protecting the people and priorities that matter most. At BWFA, we work with clients to review and update estate planning as part of a comprehensive financial strategy. This episode highlights why it's important to act now rather than wait until it's too late. For more information, visit BWFA's Financial Planning Services.

COSTLY MISTAKES THE DOWNSIDES OF EARLY PAYOFF FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode For many homeowners, paying off the mortgage feels like the ultimate financial milestone. But doing it too early can sometimes create unintended consequences. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explain why paying off your mortgage may not always be the best move in retirement. Full Description Owning a home free and clear is a common financial goal. It provides emotional satisfaction, eliminates a major monthly bill, and can feel like the ultimate symbol of financial security. Yet for retirees, rushing to pay off a mortgage can be a costly mistake if it disrupts cash flow or limits investment opportunities. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explore the trade-offs of using retirement funds to eliminate mortgage debt. They explain how withdrawing large sums to pay off a loan can trigger higher taxes, reduce liquidity, and leave less money invested for growth. While debt-free living has its appeal, it may not always align with long-term financial health. Listeners will hear why context matters—interest rates, tax brackets, and income sources all play a role in whether paying off a mortgage makes sense. Sandy and Tyler share examples of retirees who balanced a modest mortgage with strong investment growth, ultimately ending up with more flexibility and wealth than if they had paid off the loan immediately. The key lesson is that mortgage decisions should be made within the larger framework of a retirement plan. By weighing both the financial and emotional aspects, retirees can choose the approach that provides confidence today while protecting future stability.

COSTLY MISTAKES WHEN LIFE INSURANCE FALLS SHORT FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Life insurance is meant to provide peace of mind and protection for loved ones, but many people discover too late that their coverage is inadequate. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explain how to avoid this costly mistake and ensure your family's future is secure. Full Description Life insurance often gets purchased early in a career and then left unchanged for years. While the policy may have been sufficient at the time, family needs, debts, and income can change dramatically. Too often, people only realize their coverage is lacking when a major event occurs, leaving loved ones financially vulnerable. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explore the risks of inadequate life insurance. They discuss why many policies fall short and how factors like inflation, rising expenses, and lifestyle changes can quickly make an old policy outdated. The hosts also examine the difference between term and permanent coverage, stressing the importance of matching insurance to your goals. Listeners will learn how to evaluate whether their current coverage truly protects dependents, pays off debts, and replaces income if the unexpected happens. Sandy and Tyler share examples of clients who reassessed their needs and adjusted policies to better align with family and financial goals. The takeaway is simple: life insurance is not a one-time decision. It should evolve with your circumstances. By reviewing coverage regularly and working with a professional, you can help ensure that your plan provides the right level of protection—now and in the future. For more guidance, visit BWFA's Financial Planning Services.

COSTLY MISTAKES TOO MUCH CASH IN RETIREMENT FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS   with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Holding retirement savings in cash may feel safe, but over time inflation erodes purchasing power. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explain why too much cash can become a costly mistake—and how to find the right balance for long-term security. You'll also learn why professional planning helps ensure that your money continues to grow, even as your needs and goals evolve. Full DescriptionMany retirees feel comfortable keeping large portions of their retirement plan in cash. It provides stability, avoids market swings, and seems like the safe choice. However, cash alone cannot keep up with inflation. Over the years, rising prices quietly reduce its value, leaving less to cover healthcare costs, everyday expenses, and the retirement lifestyle you planned. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explain why holding too much cash can be risky. While every plan needs liquidity for emergencies, relying on cash at the expense of growth may limit your long-term success. Together, they share insights on how to strike the right balance, ensuring you maintain flexibility today while protecting your future purchasing power. Listeners will also hear how professional financial planning can help determine the right mix of cash, bonds, and equities. With careful guidance, it is possible to feel secure while still allowing your portfolio to grow. At BWFA, we believe retirement is about more than safety—it's about sustainability. This episode offers practical guidance for making smarter decisions, avoiding common pitfalls, and staying on track for the future. By learning how to balance risk and reward, you can create a retirement strategy designed to last. For more retirement strategies, visit BWFA's Financial Planning Services.

Welcome to this episode of The Efficient Advisor, where Libby Greiwe sits down with Dr. Joshua Wilson, PhD, CMT, to explore the power of behavioral finance before a client even becomes a client.

Today, Nicole tackles one of the most important, but often intimidating, questions in personal finance: should I have a financial planner? If the answer is “yes” (and lets be honest, it probably is!), that sets off a domino effect of other questions: When I'm looking for a financial planner, what questions should I ask? Do I have to be rich to get started? What can a financial planner actually do to help me? To answer all of those questions and more, Nicole is joined by Adriana Adams, Head of Financial Planning at Domain Money, to cut through the noise and deliver the straight talk on how to find the right financial planner, and what to expect once you do. But Nicole and Adrianna don't just tell you what a financial planner can help with— they show you. Nicole asks Adrianna for insight on her #1 financial goal: how to set her daughter up for success. They talk custodial brokerages, the new Trump Accounts, trusts, and yes—even how to legally put your baby on payroll. This conversation got so good, Nicole's husband jumped in to get all the useful details! To have your own free conversation with Adrianna or the other financial planners at Domain Money, start here.
