Brian Skrobonja breaks down the repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). He covers how retirees can strategically use their lump sum to create long-term financial stability, the impact of the repeal on spousal and survivor benefits, and the broader financial strain on the Social Security system. Tune in to hear essential insights into how to adapt your financial strategy and take full advantage of this game-changing reform. Brian starts by explaining why the repeal of the WEP and the GPO is a big deal for retirees. A good example of how this repeal affects retirees is higher Social Security benefits--retirees can now reduce reliance on personal savings and investment withdrawals. Brian talks about the impact on spousal and survivor benefits. The repeal eliminates the harsh reductions that often left surviving spouses with little to no income. Brian explains why retirees need a strategy for their lump sum payments. Instead of spending it impulsively, consider reinvesting in assets that create long-term financial security. How the repeal changes retirement planning for government workers. Formerly penalized for having a pension, they can now receive full Social Security benefits without reductions. Brian highlights why this repeal adds financial strain to the Social Security system. The Congressional Budget Office projects billions in additional costs, worsening the program's long-term stability. Brian reveals the biggest challenge Social Security now faces. Recalculating benefits for millions of retirees while managing retroactive payments creates an administrative nightmare for the Social Security office. Brian highlights the fairness issue with this change. Government employees with brief private-sector work history may now receive benefits exceeding lifelong private-sector workers with similar earnings. How younger workers may bear the financial burden of this repeal. Without a payroll tax increase, the long-term cost shifts onto the next generation of retirees. Understand how to make the most of this new opportunity. With higher benefits, retirees should rethink their tax strategy, pension withdrawals, and investment plans. Brian shares the best way to maximize Social Security benefits. Coordinating Social Security payments with pension income, investment distributions, and annuities can optimize cash flow for you in retirement. Brian explains the tax implications of higher Social Security benefits and how increased payments could push retirees into higher tax brackets. According to Brian, this change creates new financial planning opportunities. Retirees can explore strategies like Roth conversions or delaying withdrawals to reduce tax burdens. Brian explains how ignoring these changes could cost you and potentially derail your retirement. The repeal is a game changer and failing to adapt your financial strategy means missing out on valuable benefits or paying more in taxes.

All of us get off course sometimes, but the way to recalculate properly is through surrendering and trusting to GOD completely.Text: Proverbs 3:5-6Connect with Us: https://thecrossrds.comStreaming License # CCLI: CSPL043706
If only God would show up for us like a G.P.S. - That voice that tells us exactly where to go in life. Although God doesn't actually use Garmin to guide us, that doesn't mean he doesn't speak to us and help keep us on the road following him. In this message, we examine what it means to follow Jesus on the journey and how to be better followers.
Today, we step into the familiar story of the Magi following a star. But rather than dwelling on their gifts or their journey, Rev. A asks us to focus on the courage it took to defy the most powerful man in Judea—Herod.
Matthew 2:1-12 with the Wesleyan Covenant Service Re>Imagine: Redream Navigation systems say, “Recalculating…” or “Reroute!” The wise guys sought the Christ-child, and then they had to go home by another route. How is the Spirit leading us in the New Year to dream for the future – our own as well as the church?
Feeling lost while everyone else seems to be cruising down their perfect career highway? Don't sweat it - that quarter-life crisis isn't a detour, it's your inner GPS recalibrating. Let's talk about turning those "what am I doing with my life?" moments into clues about who you're becoming. Get ready to embrace the beautiful uncertainty of your twenties as we Calm it Down in 3...2...1.
In the life of every person raising a baby (or a puppy) there's that moment of decision: “Do I allow it to sleep with me?” A new puppy. Post-election friendship sorting, with added vocabulary. Turi may end up living under a viaduct. Marci will not. A marriage-saving idea (better than separate bathrooms!) Recalculating…your life.
In this episode, we dive into what makes the Kingdom of God so unique. Unlike worldly kingdoms that rely on power, wealth, and borders, God's kingdom is built on humility, service, and love—and it's without end. Through the story of Exodus, we see God's eternal reign at work, delivering the Israelites from bondage and establishing a kingdom that transcends time. We're reminded that, as followers of Jesus, we are called to live out kingdom values, representing our King with courage and compassion. Tune in to discover how God's kingdom is woven through all of scripture and what it means for us today!
In this week's message, we dive deeper into what it truly means to be part of the Kingdom of God. Last week, we began reframing our understanding, shifting from what the Kingdom isn't to what it is. With key passages from Matthew and John, we'll explore how Jesus taught us not only to pray for the Kingdom but to prioritize it above everything else in our lives. Key Topics Covered: Praying for the Kingdom: In the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6), Jesus invites us to pray for God's Kingdom to be realized here and now—in our homes, at work, and in our communities. Making the Kingdom a Priority: As Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:33, we're called to "seek first the Kingdom of God." Discover how we can put this into practice daily. Citizenship in the Kingdom: Just as earthly citizenship has its rights and responsibilities, so does our citizenship in God's Kingdom. John 3 emphasizes the significance of being "born again" and entering this Kingdom as a new creation. Being a part of God's Kingdom is more than a title; it's a life of purpose, blessings, and responsibilities. Whether you're exploring faith or a committed believer, this message sheds light on the powerful role you play in God's Kingdom.

Every month (on the first Friday of the month), as you may or may not know, I do a monologue instead of having an interviewee here on Finding Certainty. No dialogue or call-ins. Just yours truly sharing my thoughts and experience on a specific topic (I've already planned out 26, one for each letter of the alphabet. It's going to take me a couple of years to get through them all). This week, with May being the 5th month of the year, we're at “E” is for Endurance. Just like last month's topic (Discipline), Endurance is a subject I think often about and continue to work at daily. Sometimes it's easy and other times it's not. I have some strong opinions concerning the topic, have learned some powerful lessons surrounding it, and it's still something I'm learning about and trying to improve at. The following poem summarizes the subject pretty well: In this marathon of life we travel along: Through trials and tests, we try to stay strong. Prepared as we are, with our hearts so imbued, Ready to face whatever we choose. Devastation hits, we take the blows, Evaluation helps as our fortitude grows, We reassess, realign, and adjust our pace, Effort and persistence we steadily embrace. We learn from each step and stumble we take, Growth is the journey that we happily make. With faith in ourselves, we rise above, As trials become stepping stones we may actually love. Going the extra mile, we try, we dare, Accountability is and must be our load to bear. No victims here, just work-warriors true, Continually asking, What else can we do? Mentors and coaches, they all lend a hand, Guiding us through this challenging land. We ask for their help ... with humility, Open-mindedness is our truest ability. Teachability becomes our badge of pride, Work ethic, our trusted steed to ride. Momentum builds up with every small win, Sticktoitiveness ... our virtue within. So here's to endurance, to lasting through, With humor, grace, and courage too. In life's grand race, we will always find, The finish line, and our future … defined. In the symphony of life, each step we take, Notes of resilience and hope awake. Harmony, effort, and melody in stride, With every crescendo, our spirits take flight. Choruses of courage, ringing loud and clear, Echoing triumphs, dispelling our fears. Each setback we see as a verse to overcome, Each victory, a beautiful chorus sung. With every trial faced and challenge met, We stand tall and straight, with zero regret. In the journey itself, we have found our might, And, in reaching the end, we discover our light.

Financial independence isn't for everyone. That comes as a surprise for most of us within the personal finance community. Whether we like it or not, the “save, invest, and grind” until you can retire early lifestyle isn't a commonly accepted one. But what happens when your partner is the one who doesn't agree? What steps can you take to help them see why early retirement is such a crucial piece of your life?This is just one of the topics we touch on with today's guest, Mark. Mark is in a great position, and he's already financially free. But, he doesn't know what to do next, how to optimize his portfolio, and whether or not he's making the right moves. With a blend of stocks, bonds, and real estate, Mark has a million-dollar diverse portfolio, but where can he tighten it up? And, if he's able to do so, how does he get his wife on board?This episode serves as a reminder that even when all the hard work pays off, there is still a life to live. If you've spent years, or decades, grinding to finally reach a comfortable position in life, it's necessary to know how to use that time once you have it.
