Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Jason Mackey react to Penguins' veteran Evgeni Malkin speaking about the rumors that he's considering retirement.

This episode of 25 Whistles has a classic “Around the Room” debate that turns into a full-on self-scout: what’s your best physical trait, and can you defend it? Then Eddie makes his picks this weekend which means he’s already jinxed the Patriots and Rams, and the guys try to figure out if it’s an actual curse or just Eddie being Eddie. Plus, former NFL center Mitch Morse joins us to talk retirement, what he misses (and doesn’t), and how Harry Potter ended up shaping the way he thought about stepping away from the game.

When should you hire a financial advisor - and when don't you need one? In this episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, breaks down the real-life situations where having a thinking partner can help you make more informed decisions. While technology gives us endless financial calculators and online tools, Darryl explains why more informed financial decisions still happen in conversation - especially during emotionally charged life events. Darryl walks through seven specific scenarios where professional financial guidance can help you avoid costly mistakes and gain clarity: Episode highlights include: Why online calculators aren't enough - and how personalized advice can help you and your spouse get aligned on your future. How poor financial decisions during divorce can cost six figures - and why strategy matters. Protecting against financial scams and providing a calm, steady voice during an emotional season. Why the skills that built your business won't help you transition out, and how to avoid post-exit regret. Addressing burnout, student loans, retirement planning, and career decisions. Building discipline during high-earning years to create long-term stability. Navigating the "sandwich generation" with thoughtful planning, family conversations, and resource coordination. If you or someone you love is going through one of these situations, Darryl shares how PAX offers specific consulting services - not just asset management - designed to help people navigate life's most complex financial moments.

Last week, we covered the best investments to preserve your money, but this week we are shifting gears to focus on growth. For retirees, the goal is to have an income that outpaces inflation, and historically, the best way to achieve that is by having 50% to 70% of your portfolio invested in stock funds. In this episode, I break down five specific Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that can help you grow your wealth in 2026. I discuss why I prefer ETFs over mutual funds, specifically focusing on cost, transparency, and liquidity, and provide the exact ticker symbols and expense ratios for the funds I use with my own clients to build diversified, growth-oriented portfolios. If you are willing to accept some volatility to achieve higher long-term returns, this episode provides a blueprint for structuring the equity side of your retirement plan.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Top 5 Growth ETFs to Own For 2026. [02:55] Why ETFs are superior to mutual funds. [05:23] The core holding: S&P 500 ETF. [09:28] Capturing extra growth with SPYG. [06:33] Small Cap stocks and the profitability factor. [13:38] Investing in the Developed World ex-US. [15:43] High growth potential in Emerging Markets. Why Choose ETFs? Before diving into specific funds, it is important to understand why Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are often a better choice than traditional mutual funds. I prefer them for four main reasons: Cost: ETFs often have significantly lower expense ratios, some less than a tenth of a percent, compared to actively managed funds that can charge up to 2%. Performance: Many active funds struggle to outperform their benchmarks over time. Transparency: You can see exactly what an ETF holds, whereas mutual funds may only report holdings twice a year. Liquidity: You can trade ETFs throughout the day while the market is open, rather than waiting for the market close price required by mutual funds. The US Core: S&P 500 and Growth Variations For the core of a growth portfolio, I look to the S&P 500, which has averaged a 15% return over the last five years. State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPYM/SPSM): This fund tracks the S&P 500 but was created to offer a lower cost (0.02% expense ratio) compared to the original SPY ETF. It is a massive fund with over $100 billion in assets, heavily weighted toward large technology companies like Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft. S&P 500 Growth ETF (SPYG): If you want to lean more aggressively into growth, this fund tracks S&P 500 companies with high sales growth and momentum. It has a 3-year average return of 29% and a very low expense ratio of 0.04%. Diversifying with Small Caps While the S&P 500 is dominant, it has had "lost decades" in the past where returns were negative. To diversify, I recommend the S&P 600 Small Cap ETF. Unlike the Russell 2000, the S&P 600 index requires companies to be profitable, which filters out lower-quality stocks. Although it has lagged recently, small caps may be poised for a comeback due to economic shifts and tariffs. The expense ratio for this fund is just 0.03%. International Opportunities The US has outperformed international markets recently, but that trend could reverse. Developed World ex-US (SPDW): This fund invests in developed economies like Japan, the UK, and Canada. It offers exposure to major global players like Samsung and AstraZeneca with a low expense ratio of 0.03%. Emerging Markets (SPEM): For higher potential growth, this fund targets countries with rapidly growing GDPs, such as China, Taiwan, and India. These economies have a growing middle class, which can drive corporate earnings. The fund holds major companies like Taiwan Semiconductor and Alibaba.

In this episode, The Annuity Man and Tom Hegna discuss:  Saying no to DIY retirement  What is the right age for retirement is How annuity addresses inflation  Securing guaranteed lifetime income with annuities    Key Takeaways:  Retirement is not a DIY project; do it with a professional.  The age for retirement would not be the same for many. If you want to get the optimal age, you have to spend some time calculating all the factors that go into it.  Be creative in doing something that can help your retirement. It's okay if you have to do a side-hustle or work longer.  Having a huge income guaranteed allows you to make riskier and therefore more rewarding investments.  When the account is drawn down to zero, the annuity company is still on the hook to pay.    "They found that the happiest people in retirement were those people who were surrounded by their families and friends, and had guaranteed paychecks every single month." —  Tom Hegna    Check out Tom's Books here: https://tomhegna.com/shop    Connect with Tom Hegna: Website: https://tomhegna.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomhegna  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TomHegnaSpeaks/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/tomhegnaspeaks  Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ph/retirehappynow/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/tomhegna    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

"Just 10% plan to wait until age 70" to claim Social Security in retirement — and it's not because of a knowledge problem.  We discuss this from a new survey that suggests most Americans may be claiming Social Security earlier than is financially optimal because fear is driving the decision. They understand the math—but they're still claiming early. We also answer a listener 2-part question about where to park short-term cash in inflationary times and to actually buy Treasuries.

Many people retire with enough money — and still feel lost.James explains why financial readiness alone doesn't guarantee a fulfilling retirement, and why some of the most financially prepared retirees struggle once work ends. Through a real-life example, he shows how retirement can solve a money problem while leaving a life problem untouched. The episode explores the hidden challenges that often surprise retirees: losing identity, too much unstructured time, and strained relationships when expectations don't align. These risks aren't captured by retirement software, but they shape how retirement actually feels day to day.The takeaway is simple and powerful: before asking “Can I retire?”, it's worth asking “Will I like the life I'm building?”Money matters — but it's meant to support a meaningful life, not define it.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

Ron Sowell is a lifelong musician, singer-songwriter, and performer who has spent decades exploring the transformative power of music. From stage performances to songwriting workshops, Ron's life offers a rich example of how creativity and personal growth can intertwine—especially in the years beyond traditional career paths. Ron shares the pivotal moment he stepped off the law-school track and committed to music for life, the joy and meaning he finds in performing and mentoring, and the simple daily practices that keep him grounded and strong as the years add up. We talk Mountain Stage, creative purpose beyond “traditional retirement,” and why gratitude, meditation, and consistent movement are non-negotiables for staying vibrant. Key takeaways: * Purpose isn't a job title. Ron never planned to “retire” from the thing that gives him energy—music. * Daily anchors matter: meditation, gratitude, and some form of strength/mobility work are simple but compounding. * Creative contribution evolves with age: performing, producing, and coaching other artists are natural extensions of a lifetime in music. * Community keeps you sharp: bandleading at Mountain Stage means constant learning and collaboration with top-tier musicians.

The Retire Sooner Podcast welcomes Clark Howard alongside Wes Moss and Christa DiBiase for a special episode focused on market history, long-term investing principles, and today's most talked-about financial transitions. The conversation emphasizes context over commentary and highlights how investors often think through uncertainty, change, and market structure. • Highlight Clark Howard's perspective on Warren Buffett stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at age 95 and the transition to Greg Abel. • Review Berkshire Hathaway's long-term role in markets and why its history is frequently referenced alongside the S&P 500. • Frame why long-term market participation is commonly emphasized during periods of leadership change at iconic companies. • Discuss why Clark Howard views this transition as the close of a defining chapter in modern investing history. • Explain how Berkshire Hathaway's conglomerate structure differs from traditional private equity, including transparency and fee considerations. • Examine growing market concentration and the shrinking number of U.S. public companies—and why those trends continue to matter. • Outline how exposure to both public stocks and privately held businesses is often discussed when considering diversification. • Summarize several big-picture themes shaping 2026 conversations, including artificial intelligence, tax-refund dynamics, and election-cycle uncertainty. • Clarify what “dry powder” means and how cash, money market funds, and select bonds are commonly described in retirement safety discussions. • Address listener questions by reviewing general considerations around investing settlement proceeds, tax-advantaged accounts, and dividend-oriented ETFs. This episode offers a thoughtful conversation featuring Clark Howard with Wes Moss, focused on long-term perspective rather than short-term reaction.

Most people wait years longer than they need to retire — not because they can't afford to, but because they never see the full picture.In this episode, I reveal the shocking numbers at age 60+ that completely flip the retirement equation, including:Why household spending often drops 25–40% at retirementHow Social Security at 62 can instantly replace $18,000–$30,000 per yearHow Medicare at 65 can cut healthcare costs by $12,000–$18,000 annuallyWhy a simple 4% withdrawal from $1M creates $40,000 of sustainable incomeYou'll hear the real story of a couple who thought they had to work until 65 — and retired five years earlier once they stacked these numbers together.This episode explains why retirement isn't about hitting a bigger number — it's about understanding how income layers, spending changes, and planning work together.

Today we're talking about the future. Not just retirement as a number on a spreadsheet, but retirement as a real phase of life—one that we're all heading toward, whether we're just opening our first 401(k) or already counting down the years.My guest is someone I've turned to for guidance for decades. Christine Benz is the Director of Personal Finance and Retirement Planning at Morningstar, and if you've ever read a smart, clear-headed piece about investing, portfolio strategy, or retirement readiness, chances are her work shaped it.Christine has helped millions of investors make sense of their money at every stage of life—but especially at the moment when the stakes feel highest: figuring out how to turn what you've saved into a sustainable, meaningful retirement. She's also the author of How to Retire, a deeply practical and human guide that goes far beyond the math to tackle the emotional, lifestyle, and health realities of aging.In this conversation, we're digging into what retirement planning looks like right now: after a long market run, amid persistent inflation concerns, longer lifespans, and big questions around Social Security, healthcare, and caregiving. We talk about safe withdrawal rates, de-risking portfolios, how women need to plan differently, and why flexibility—not perfection—is the real secret to retiring well. Hosted on Acast.

This episode is your introduction to the world of conservative investing, so it's perfect for you if you're looking to preserve your principal and grow your money at a steady pace. I'm walking you through seven standout investment choices for 2026, ranging from high-yield online money market accounts to short-term bond funds, CDs, and Treasury bonds. We'll discuss how to shop around for the best rates, the importance of keeping up with inflation in retirement, and the benefits and limitations of each strategy. There's something here for anyone who wants their money to work a little harder without taking on unnecessary risk.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... 00:00 Retirement Income to beat inflation. 03:27 Using online banks and credit unions for high-yield savings. 04:53 Automatic and manual selection of money market funds. 08:23 How yield and volatility differ from money market funds with short-term bond funds. 11:24 Brokered CDs vs. traditional CDs. 13:39 U.S. Treasuries as highly secure investment using treasury bonds. 15:11 Using a fixed annuity to invest your money. 17:06 How U.S. Treasury Inflation Bonds (I Bonds) work. Seven Smart Conservative Investment Options for Growing and Preserving Your Wealth Retirement planning and conservative investing go hand in hand, particularly for those looking to preserve their hard-earned principal and ensure steady, reliable growth..  1. High-Yield Online Money Market Accounts Keeping cash in traditional savings accounts often means missing out on higher returns so it's a great start to explore online banks that offer high-yield savings and money market accounts. Although these accounts lack physical branches and operate electronically, the tradeoff is often higher interest rates.  2. Brokerage Money Market Funds Money market funds present another secure route to saving for retirement. With Vanguard and Fidelity, your idle cash is generally swept automatically into high-yield funds, whereas Schwab offers more choices, but you may need to manually select a higher-yielding money market fund. Current yields are around 3.6% to 3.7%, but rates fluctuate weekly with market conditions. Importantly, these investments are designed to keep the value per share at $1, minimizing risk to your principal. 3. Short-Term Bond Funds If you're comfortable with a bit more fluctuation, short-term bond funds can offer higher yields than money market funds. While prices may move slightly, the key is to assess yield versus volatility and select a fund aligned with your risk tolerance. Total bond market or aggregate bond funds, such as the State Street Aggregate Bond ETF (SPAB), can yield more (sometimes above 4%), but carry higher risk and potential for loss, as evidenced by losses in years of rapidly rising interest rates. 4. Short-Term Certificates of Deposit (CDs) CDs are an old-fashioned but reliable solution. By locking in your money for a set period (often one to three years), you benefit from higher fixed rates, currently 4% for one-year CDs and slightly lower for longer terms. Watch out, though, if interest rates fall, having a longer-term CD can be advantageous, but shopping around means opening multiple accounts, which can become hard to track.  5. U.S. Treasury Bonds Tied to government backing, short-term U.S. Treasury bonds are among the safest choices. They typically yield around 3.5% to 3.6% for terms of one to three years. Besides security, their interest is exempt from state income tax, which can be a perk for residents of high-tax states.  6. Fixed Annuities For those who want higher yields and are willing to sacrifice some liquidity, fixed annuities offer insurance-backed, multi-year fixed interest rates, sometimes higher than CDs or Treasuries. Current rates above 4% for investments starting at $100,000, though smaller minimums (such as $5,000 at Fidelity) provide slightly lower yields. The main drawback is reduced access to your principal. 7. U.S. Treasury Inflation Bonds Inflation Bonds combine a fixed interest rate with added payments tied to inflation. Currently, they yield over 4%, but are capped at $10,000 per person annually. You must hold them for at least five years to avoid penalties, and taxes on the interest can be deferred. If inflation surges, these are especially attractive. Take Action to Grow  Whether you're approaching retirement or simply cautious, these seven strategies equip you to earn more on your savings while keeping risk in check. Consider putting excess bank cash to work in one or more of these vehicles for better long-term outcomes. Remember, conservative investing isn't about standing still, it's about moving forward deliberately and securely.

In this powerful episode of The Real Estate Breakthrough Show, host Christina Sudter sits down with 20-year-old entrepreneur Michael Rebello. Michael shares his incredible "why", a deeply personal mission to retire his mom from her W2 job, and how it fuels his journey in multifamily real estate. Rejecting the traditional college path, he chose mentorship and immersion in real estate instead. Christina and Michael dive into: - How a clear "why" gives you the strength to face any downturn. - The moment Michael and his mom realized the traditional financial system wasn't working for them. - How they built a balanced, successful partnership (he's the visionary, she's the pragmatic leash). - Their rapid traction: going from zero to co-GPing on over 200 units in their first year. - Michael's bold advice for young people: why college isn't the only path and how to build your own "education" through mentorships, courses, and networks. This is a raw, inspiring conversation about family, financial literacy, grit, and creating your own blueprint for success. Whether you're new to investing or a seasoned pro, Michael's story will remind you of the power of purpose and partnership.

You do not need a huge rental property portfolio to retire early. Today, Chad Carson (Coach Carson) will prove it, explaining how to retire with the fewest rentals possible. Trust him, because he's already done it with fewer rentals than you'd think. Chad ditched the “buy 100 doors” mentality in exchange for fewer rentals, fewer headaches, and way more cash flow. Now, in his 40s and years into his lifestyle of two-hour workweeks, Chad has more than enough passive income to provide for his family, go on long (often up to a year at a time) international trips with his wife and children, and grow the wealth that will sustain him through traditional retirement age. Thousands have copied his “small and mighty” approach, as Chad's name has become synonymous with “make more doing less.” Today, Chad is showing you how to do it in 2026, even if you only have five hours a week to dedicate to investing, even with today's home prices and mortgage rates, and even if you're starting with zero experience. Plus, the best properties for beginners and experienced investors, the exact deals he's purchasing in 2026, and why now may be the best buying opportunity in years. In This Episode We Cover: How to retire early with the fewest rentals possible in 2026 The best real estate investing strategy for a beginner with limited free time Why Chad believes there is more “opportunity” for investing in 2026 than in previous years Put more money down? Plus, why Chad strongly believes paid off properties beat big portfolios Why “ugly” rental properties will get you to financial independence even faster How to “harvest” your cash flow once you've built a big enough portfolio And So Much More!   Check out more resources from this show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BiggerPockets.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-1225 Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

New Yorker Jill Chalsty tried retiring in both South Carolina and Florida—without success. By the end of 2024, she was still recovering from a battle with cancer and grieving the loss of her husband. Looking for a fresh start, Jill decided to explore potential retirement destinations by embarking on an around-the-world cruise aboard Cunard's Queen Anne. The ship departed from Brooklyn in January 2025, visiting 26 ports across six continents over four months. After a long but rewarding journey, Jill came to an unexpected conclusion: the best place for her to retire was right where she had been all along—Manhattan. Find out more about Jill's search for a new place to call home on Episode 220 of Retire There with Gil & Gene. Link in bio.
