The same stock market feels completely different once you retire. While you're working, a drop is a discount. Once you're withdrawing from that money, a drop can lock in losses you never recover. Charles and Marcus work through what federal retirees should actually be asking about their TSP allocation — why moving everything to the G Fund isn't the answer, what the TSP's own L Income Fund implies, why co-mingled money gets pulled pro rata, and how a FERS pension changes what your TSP is even for.Chapters:0:00 Safety or Growth After Retirement?0:24 Welcome + This Week's Question1:30 It Depends: What Is the Money Actually For?3:00 Why Market Risk Feels Different After You Retire4:42 Is the Answer to Move Everything to Safety?5:34 What the TSP's Own L Income Fund Tells You6:34 The Co-Mingling Problem and Pro-Rata Withdrawals7:38 The Bucket Approach10:00 How a FERS Pension Changes the Math13:12 What to Decide Before You Change Your Allocation15:41 Your Two Enemies: Market Risk and Inflation18:00 Apply: Your 15-Minute CallCTA: Apply for a Retirement Consultation: https://apply.cdfinancial.org/6a694299bad1c9a176cdc79f/Disclaimer: Advisory services are offered through CD Financial LLC dba CD Financial, an Investment Advisor in the State of California.

Most federal employees spend years planning the day they retire. Almost nobody plans what the first year actually feels like. Your last paycheck stops, your first retirement check may not match the estimate, taxes change, healthcare starts running on a calendar — and taking money from the TSP can suddenly feel wrong, even though that's exactly what you saved it for. Here are the seven things to expect, and the retirement planning that keeps them from becoming surprises.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━IN THIS VIDEO YOU CAN LEARN━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━- Why the first year is a transition between two income systems, not a single event- The OPM processing gap — what interim pay is, and why you want a cash cushion- Why you budget on your NET pension, never the gross estimate- The first-year tax stack: salary, annual leave payout, pension, social security retirement or the supplement, and TSP withdrawals all landing in one year- Healthcare's calendar — FEHB, Medicare at 65, and IRMAA's two-year lookback- Source and timing for large purchases — it's not the trip, it's which account pays for it- The emotional shift nobody puts on an OPM formHow many months of cash would you want set aside before you retire — three, six, or twelve? Drop your number below

You can retire with a FERS pension and a healthy TSP and still feel lost the month the paycheck stops. Charles and Marcus walk through building a federal retirement paycheck from the ground up: what you actually cost each month, which income sources form your dependable floor, the gap your TSP has to fill, and how installment payments really work — plus the age rules to understand before you roll anything to an IRA. Chapters: 0:00 The Paycheck Stops, the Bills Don't 0:27 Welcome + This Week's Question 1:30 Start Here: How Much Do You Cost? 4:14 Building Your Dependable Income Floor 7:00 Finding the Gap Your TSP Has to Fill 9:47 How to Create Monthly TSP Income 11:35 The Age 55 / 59½ Trap Before You Roll Over 13:20 What Can Break the Plan 15:18 When to Review It 18:37 Watch Next Resource mentioned: the free Monthly Expenses worksheet at cdfinancial.org CTA: Apply for a Retirement Consultation: https://apply.cdfinancial.org/6a694299bad1c9a176cdc79f/ Disclaimer: Advisory services are offered through CD Financial LLC dba CD Financial, an Investment Advisor in the State of California.

This summer, my new AI wealth advisor, Mezzi, discovered roughly $300,000 of Google exposure I didn't know I had. It sounds a little absurd, given the amount. But I've been investing in Google for over 15 years, and with a complicated net worth it's hard to track everything accurately when your mind anchors to old price points. Weeks after I trimmed the position, Google sold off about 10%. I sidestepped over $20,000 in losses. Then I did something I'd never done in 17 years of writing about money on Financial Samurai. I invested in the company. As an AI maximalist, I'm always hunting for new AI products that help build wealth, and for promising private AI companies to invest in. Mezzi turned out to be both. So I sat down with Manish Jain, CEO and co-founder of Mezzi, over lunch in San Francisco and then again for this episode. We get into: Manish's entrepreneurial path and why he left JPM to build Mezzi Why he built an AI wealth advisor instead of another robo-advisor What Mezzi surfaces in a portfolio that most investors miss, from overlapping positions to fee drag Where AI wealth management goes next, and the parts it still can't do Sign up for Mezzi AI for free today. Use code: FS30 to save 30% off the premium plus version. Disclosure: I'm an investor in Mezzi, an affiliate partner, and Mezzi sponsors this podcast. I only partner with companies whose products I use myself. If Mezzi weren't already open on my laptop most weeks, this episode wouldn't exist.

Should federal retirees still own stocks? Charles thinks that's the wrong question — the real one is how much. This video walks through the two enemies of your TSP in retirement, inflation and a major market correction, and why the answer to one makes the other worse if your money is all in one pile.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━IN THIS VIDEO YOU CAN LEARN━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━- Why "should I own stocks" is the wrong question for a federal retiree- What the TSP's own L Income Fund implies about how much growth retirees still need- Enemy #1: how the G Fund can quietly leak purchasing power to inflation- Enemy #2: what a major correction does to money you're actively withdrawing from- Why separating income money from growth money changes the math- The pro-rata rule: why you can't just take your withdrawal from the G FundHow much of your TSP is sitting in the G Fund right now?

A low fee on your TSP is real — but it only pays for the investment account. It doesn't coordinate your FERS pension, Social Security timing, the FEHB/Medicare Part B decision, your survivor benefit election, or your taxes. Charles and Marcus walk through what a cheap plan quietly costs federal employees, why retirement flips the job from accumulation to distribution, and what to ask before hiring or switching advisors. Chapters: 0:00 Cheap Fees vs. the Whole Picture 0:30 Welcome + This Week's Question 1:51 Why Federal Employees Are Right to Care About Fees 2:52 Accumulation vs. Distribution: Why Retirement Changes Everything 6:06 The Trade-Offs That Don't Show Up on a Fee Schedule 8:51 Why Federal Retirement Isn't Just a 401(k) 11:11 Part B, Survivor Benefits & the Choices Nobody Assigns You 12:54 The Scissors and the All-Clad: What Quality Actually Buys 17:04 What to Ask Before You Hire (or Switch) an Advisor 19:34 When Is Cheap Actually Enough? 22:19 Watch Next CTA: Apply for a Retirement Consultation: https://apply.cdfinancial.org/6a694299bad1c9a176cdc79f/ Disclaimer: Advisory services are offered through CD Financial LLC dba CD Financial, an Investment Advisor in the State of California.

Your TSP has some of the lowest fees in the country — but a low-fee investment account is not the same thing as a written retirement income plan.

Your TSP withdrawals can trigger consequences you never see coming — and sometimes "doing nothing" is the biggest mistake of all. In this short video, Charles walks through the TSP withdrawal traps that quietly cost federal retirees: lump sums that bump your tax bracket, Medicare premium spikes (IRMAA), a hidden jump in how much of your Social Security gets taxed, and RMDs that take the wheel if you don't plan.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━IN THIS VIDEO YOU CAN LEARN━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━- How a big lump-sum withdrawal can push you into a higher tax bracket- How TSP withdrawals can spike your Medicare Part B premium (IRMAA)- How you can accidentally make more of your Social Security taxable- Why doing nothing lets RMDs — and the IRS — take control in your 70s- Why "purposeful and intentional" withdrawals need a written planAre you planning your TSP withdrawals — or leaving it alone and hoping it works out?

Four federal retirement mistakes to avoid. These decisions have a short window to get right — survivor benefit, FEHB, FEGLI, and TSP withdrawals — and for most of them, there's no fixing it later. In this video, Charles walks through exactly what to do with each one, and why the "obvious" move (cancel, take the lump sum) is usually the expensive one.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━IN THIS VIDEO YOU CAN LEARN━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━- Survivor benefit: the short window to change it — and why you can't count on a fix later- FEHB: why you should SUSPEND, never cancel, your federal health insurance- FEGLI: how a 75% reduction on Basic can cost $0 at 65 — don't just cancel it- TSP withdrawals: why pulling a large lump sum is a one-way doorWhich of the 4 scares you most?

- Gross vs. net on a FERS pension — and why the difference matters- How the survivor benefit election takes ~10% off the top- Why FEHB (health insurance) is often the single biggest deduction- What federal and state taxes do to what's left- The number that actually reaches your bank account — your "port of entry"Your FERS pension has a number that looks great on paper (gross) and a number that actually lands in your bank account (net) — and the gap is bigger than most federal employees expect. In this short video, Charles walks a $3,000 monthly pension through every deduction, dock by dock, until you see what really comes home.Do you know your FERS NET number?

What if belonging did not require us to arrive with all the answers?In this episode of Hearth 2 Heart, Gayathri Shukla sits down with Shivika Sharma, Investment Advisor at Sharma Wealth, Richardson Wealth, for a conversation about the pressure to appear knowledgeable, the dreams we quietly learn to dismiss, and what that reveals about the intserction between money and belonging.Together, Gayathri and Shivika explore a pattern that reaches far beyond simple financial planning. They consider the inherited ideas of responsibility and success that shape our choices—and what becomes possible when we ask not only what is practical, but what we genuinely want.The conversation also connects with the upcoming launch of The Fires We Lit: Illustrated Stories of Women Reimagining the Rules, where Sharma Wealth is one of the sponsors. Like the stories in the anthology, Shivika invites listeners to question prescribed paths, reclaim the ability to dream, and imagine a future that feels like their own.Resources mentioned:Sharma Wealth, Richardson WealthThe Fires We Lit LaunchCampfire Kinshipwww.campfirekinship.com

If your portfolio holds just three, four, or five individual stocks, you may be carrying more risk than you realize. Four can perform beautifully — and one bad position can pull your whole year down. How many individual stocks are in your portfolio right now? Drop the number below

Roth conversions before 59½ and Roth conversions inside your TSP get mentioned in the same breath for one reason: they share the same drawback. Withhold taxes on a conversion before 59½, and the government treats it as an early withdrawal — adding a 10% penalty on top. Inside the TSP, they won't let you withhold at all. Either way, you need a plan for the tax money.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━START HERE━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Apply for a Retirement Consultation:https://perspectivefunnel.co/682642d22275ec003bfa6626/691df07396253e003c42b434/?ps_hello=Get the Digital Federal Retirement Guidebook:https://cdfinancial.org/being-a-federal-employee-book/Subscribe for Weekly Federal Retirement Planning Content:https://cdfinancial.com/newsletter━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━IN THIS VIDEO YOU CAN LEARN━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━- Why withholding taxes on a Roth conversion before 59½ triggers a 10% early-withdrawal penalty- How a 31% tax cost can quietly become 41%- Why the TSP won't let you withhold taxes on an in-plan conversion- Why you need cash OUTSIDE the account to pay the April tax bill- Smart places that tax money can come from — and the capital-gains trap to check first━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━TIMESTAMPS (after the intro is trimmed — confirm on final cut)━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━0:00 Roth Conversions Before 59½ or Inside the TSP0:05 The $50K Example (and the Tax Bill)1:05 The 10% Early-Withdrawal Penalty1:57 How 31% Becomes 41%2:25 Inside the TSP: They Won't Withhold at All2:45 The April Tax Bill You Must Plan For3:55 Where the Tax Money Comes From4:50 Check for Capital Gains First5:05 Watch Next: Roth Conversions & Tax BracketsNeed help?

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and episode 160 is the third of three episodes focusing on gift acceptance policies for public charities. In this episode, I will focus on aspects of the gift acceptance policy that address IRS compliance, donor recognition, and implementation. In episode 159, I talked about the spectrum of gifts. A well-crafted gift acceptance policy will cover the various types of assets that the organization wants to pursue. These range from the easiest gifts, gifts of cash, to those that are a little bit more complex, like real estate, and to the most complex things, like cryptocurrency, private company interests, and the like. In the first episode in the series, episode 158, I provided an introduction to why gift acceptance policies matter, what they are, the governing principles, and who makes decisions at each step of the gift intake process.

Families often assume everything will work itself out after a major loss, until unanswered questions and outdated decisions start creating confusion. The hardest part usually isn't the paperwork itself, it's the conversations that never happened beforehand. In this episode of Celebrity Estates, Senior Editor David Lenok speaks with Brad Repinsky, director of estate, tax and financial planning at Signature Estate and Investment Advisors, about the estate planning lessons connected to Heath Ledger's story.  Using Ledger's outdated will as a starting point, Brad explains why estate plans should evolve alongside marriages, children, shifting family relationships and changing financial circumstances. David and Brad also discuss the importance of involving spouses and adult children in financial conversations earlier, how beneficiary designations can unintentionally disrupt a carefully structured plan, and why simplifying accounts can make estate administration easier for surviving family members. Their conversation highlights how ongoing reviews and open communication can help families avoid unnecessary stress later on. Key takeaways: Why outdated wills and beneficiary designations can create confusion after major family changes How annual estate planning reviews help families adjust to life, tax and wealth transitions Why involving spouses and adult children early can reduce conflict and confusion later on How advisors can approach difficult family conversations without creating fear or resistance Why simplifying accounts and estate structures can ease stress for surviving family members Resources: Listen to Celebrity Estates on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to Celebrity Estates on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to Celebrity Estates on Spotify Trust and Estates Magazine Connect With David Lenok: david.lenok@informa.com  Wealth Management LinkedIn: David Lenok LinkedIn: Informa LinkedIn: Wealth Management Connect With Brad Repinsky: LinkedIn: Brad Repinsky LinkedIn: Signature Estate & Investment Advisors Website: Signature Estate & Investment Advisors About Our Guest: Brad Repinsky is the Director of Estate, Tax, and Financial Planning at Signature Estate and Investment Advisors, where he works with high-net-worth families on estate planning, wealth transfer, and long-term financial planning strategies.

Death by Boomer with Jeff Styles! Be Informed - BUT Not That Much! (Powered by Guardian Investment Advisors) Let's face it - the boomers are the 2nd greatest generation to ever walk planet earth! From our music to our toys (we survived lawn darts) - we made the world better! Yes, better even for you gen x'ers - gen y's and millennials - we're just better!! AND....worse - we also used up all the resources - became a little spoiled and maybe we have clung to power a little too long. Misunderstood - that is what we are! These short episodes will hopefully bridge the gap with the x'ers, y'ers (if that's even a word) and millennials - Death by Boomer with Jeff Styles on DTB - powered by Guardian Investment Advisors!

More money, more problems? Says who? This week, we sit down with Investment Advisor, Co-Founder of Peak360 & Author of The Power of Enough: Finding Joy in Your Relationship to Money, Elizabeth Husserl for a conversation about money, and let's just say this episode is RICH. Elizabeth breaks down the reasons why money is still such a taboo subject, how childhood and family dynamics shape the way we spend, save, date (and argue) & why financial security and emotional safety are NOT always the same thing. We also talk about how to invest, identifying your “money archetype”, the pressure to constantly chase money and the societal effects of women who out earn men.  Follow : https://www.instagram.com/elizabethhusserl/ Book : https://elizabethhusserl.com/book Follow Kamie @kamiecrawford on TikTok and Relationshit @relationshit on IG for more, besties.
