Navigating PCS Chaos, Saving Money, and Finding Adventure! PCSing is a constant in military life, often bringing stress, extra costs, and confusion. But it doesn't have to be a nightmare! In this episode, we dive deep into practical tips and strategies to help you survive your next Permanent Change of Station (PCS), save money, and maybe even make it an adventure. We cover everything from getting your paperwork in order to leveraging financial benefits and preparing your family for the journey. In this episode, we discuss key strategies for managing your PCS: Getting Organized & Paperwork: The importance of physical binders and electronic backups for documents. Tips for outprocessing checklists and hand-carrying essential items like orders, Power of Attorneys, birth certificates, passports, and social security cards. Keep vital documents separate from movers. Financially Preparing: The crucial need to start saving cash early for unreimbursed expenses. Access to liquid money helps with stress management and avoiding debt. Cutting expenses is the first step to saving. Understanding Financial Benefits: Dislocation Allowance (DLA): An entitlement can be taken as an advance upfront (not a loan). Rates vary by pay grade and dependents (e.g., O-5 w/ dependents $5,339, E-4 w/ dependents $3,400 in 2025). PCS Pay Advance: Option for up to one month's base pay, interest-free, paid back over 12 months. A tool for necessary situations, better than high-interest loans. Moving Your Stuff (HHG government move vs. PPM): Options include full government shipment (through TMO) or the Personally Procured Move (PPM). A partial PPM is recommended for conus moves to get paid for weight in your car. A full PPM offers significant profit potential by paying you the government's cost (examples mentioned: Jamie's $14,000 profit in 2023, and potential $10,000 profit in 2025). Challenge misinformation about PPM rules by referencing the JTR. Temporary Living Expenses (TLE) & Temporary Living Allowance (TLA): TLE (CONUS to CONUS, CONUS to OCONUS, or OCONUS to CONUS variants): Max $290/day, limited to 21 days, can be split between old and new PDS. Can be used for M&IE even when staying with family/friends. TLA (OCONUS): Up to 60 days upon arrival, 10 days upon departure. Covers lodging plus M&IE. Reference the JTR due to common misinformation. Prioritize minimizing stress over maximizing per diem. Preparing Your Family: Frame the move as an adventure. Acknowledge feelings (sadness, excitement) for everyone. Involve older kids in packing. Remember it's a team effort. Decluttering: Less stuff makes moving easier, especially with PPM. Reduces mental stress. Try methods like the hanger trick, Marie Kondo ("spark joy"), or the "poop test" for toys. Holding a garage sale can generate extra cash. Smart Travel & Leave: Explore circuitous travel or taking leave en route by getting it on your orders. PCS is a prime opportunity to take leave between assignments. Can take leave before departing or upon arrival. Understand BH timing. Inventory & Support: Video and photograph your belongings for inventory in case of loss or damage. You are not alone. Lean on your support network, friends, family, or sponsor for help.

You've worked your whole life to build something that lasts. But what happens after you're gone? Too many people avoid that question until it's too late. Because here's the thing: your legacy is too important to put off till later. If you're not intentional, you'll leave your family with chaos and confusion. Legacy doesn't happen by accident. Trust structures are not magic documents. They're only as good as the strategy behind them.

As life expectancy increases, so do the financial challenges of retirement. In this insightful episode of the Senior Matters Podcast, host and estate planning attorney Mark E. Wight sits down with fiduciary advisor Scott Summerlin of Starlifter Wealth Management to unpack the new financial realities facing today's retirees. The conversation begins with a striking shift in retirement demographics—retirees in the 1970s lived to about 71. Today, a healthy 65-year-old woman can expect to live to 85 or longer. That's 20+ years of retirement, and without the right planning, inflation and taxes can steadily erode retirement savings. Scott explores how healthcare and long-term care costs are among the biggest threats to retirement. While Medicare covers many health needs, long-term care requires separate planning. Scott urges listeners to plan at least 10 years in advance due to Medicaid and Medicare look-back periods, especially since healthier individuals have more options in their 60s. The conversation also addresses how the financial industry has evolved, with long-term care insurance shifting from expensive, use-it-or-lose-it policies to hybrid options embedded in annuities or life insurance. These changes offer more value and flexibility to today's retirees. Scott then tackles market volatility, explaining how a once-manageable 5% withdrawal rate can spike to 8% in a downturn, leading to rapid portfolio depletion. With examples like a $1M nest egg dropping to $600K, Scott illustrates how volatility can directly affect lifestyle—and why retirees need certainty-focused investments such as bonds and annuities. Listeners will also learn how mainstream financial news often misleads by focusing solely on the stock market. Scott recommends a more balanced strategy that includes fixed-income products and a long-term outlook. Finally, Scott offers guidance on finding the right financial advisor, suggesting listeners lean on trusted professionals like estate attorneys and CPAs, and always verify credentials through FINRA's Broker Check.

Whether you're thinking about selling a business, transferring wealth, or simply making sure your assets reflect your family's values, this episode is packed with real-world examples and thoughtful takeaways to help guide the journey. ____________________________ Legacy Planning- 3440 Hamilton Blvd Allentown, PA 18103 and 228 W Gay Street West Chester, PA 19380 610-719-8600 www.legacy-online.com Securities and advisory services offered through Commonwealth Financial Network, Member FINRA/SIPC, a Registered Investment Adviser.
“Most peoples' understanding of life insurance comes from someone else's misunderstanding”Bad inputs lead to bad outputs. For many people, bad input stems from Dave Ramsey. In this episode, we provide a thorough analysis of Dave Ramsey's erroneous claims about whole life insurance, addressing fundamental flaws in his understanding of the concept of cash value. The discussion centers on a recent Dave Ramsey Show clip where he dismisses whole life insurance as a poor financial tool, providing blanket financial advice without a single exploratory question about the caller's personal situation.Hans and Brian methodically break down each of Ramsey's claims, offering point-by-point rebuttals backed by real-world illustrations and actuarial principles. They explore how a proper understanding of insurance mechanics reveals a very different picture than what Ramsey presents to his audience.Through detailed policy illustrations and clear explanations, the episode demonstrates why whole life insurance is an invaluable financial tool when properly understood and structured, especially for those interested in multi-generational wealth planning.The Cash Value Misconception: The fundamental understanding of cash value presented by Dave Ramsey is fatally flawed. The episode explains that cash value is not a separate savings account that the insurance company "keeps" upon death, but rather the net present value of your future death benefit.Real Policy Illustrations: An actual policy illustration debunks the claim that "they keep your cash value when you die." The example shows how a policyholder can withdraw significantly more than they contributed while still maintaining a substantial death benefit for their heirs.The Value Beyond Rate of Return: The narrow focus on rate of return when evaluating whole life insurance misses the point. Not only is Dave's internal rate of return analysis demonstrably wrong, but it ignores numerous other returns and valuable contractual rights inherent to the whole life contract.Legacy Planning vs. Self-Focus: A multi-generational wealth approach contrasts with a more limited retirement-focused perspective, highlighting how properly structured life insurance can ensure wealth transfers efficiently across generations rather than forcing each new generation to "start over."▶️Chapters:00:00 - Welcome to Remnant Finance01:00 - Life Updates and Moving Challenges 04:00 - Dave Ramsey's Take on Whole Life Insurance 08:00 - Analyzing Term vs. Whole Life Cost Comparison 12:00 - Debunking Dave's Cash Value Claims 17:00 - Misunderstanding Cash Value as a Separate Account25:00 - Explaining What Cash Value Actually Is 31:00 - Using the "Altitude" Analogy for Cash Value 42:0 - Illustration of Actual Policy Performance 49:00 - Legacy Planning vs. Self-Focused Retirement 55:00 - Compensation Models: Commissions vs. Asset Management Fees 01:02:00 - Dave's Lack of Understanding About Infinite Banking 01:09:00 - Final Thoughts on Making Informed Financial DecisionsGot Questions?
