Many seniors today face significant financial strain—some even resort to borrowing to cover their basic living expenses.For retirees on a fixed income, a reverse mortgage can be a practical solution to access the equity in their home and bring much-needed stability. Harlan Accola joins us today with a message of hope for those looking for margin in their retirement years.Harlan Accola is the National Reverse Mortgage Director at Movement Mortgage, an underwriter of Faith and Finance. He is also the author of Home Equity and Reverse Mortgages: The Cinderella of the Baby Boomer Retirement.The Real Issue: Seniors Struggling with Credit Card DebtNearly 70% of seniors that Movement speaks with are carrying credit card debt. These aren't impulsive spenders buying luxury items. They're retired, living on fixed incomes, and they're relying on credit just to pay for basics like groceries and prescriptions. They're often asset-rich but cash-poor—sitting on significant home equity but drowning in interest rates of 25% to 35%.Many people suffer silently, too embarrassed to discuss their financial challenges. They don't realize that the equity in their home could be used to ease their burden without losing the home they love.One of the biggest hurdles is the spread of misinformation. People believe they'll lose their house, or that a reverse mortgage is inherently bad.In truth, the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)—the most common form of reverse mortgage—is federally insured and designed to protect both the homeowner and their heirs. Properly structured, it can be a safe and responsible tool.Who Should Consider a Reverse Mortgage?Anyone over 62 with at least 50–60% equity in their home should take a closer look. A typical scenario might be someone still making monthly mortgage payments, even with a small remaining balance. Those payments—$800, $1,500 or more—can strain fixed retirement budgets.One common misconception is that you lose control of your home. In fact, you and your spouse can stay in your home for life, even if one of you passes away. You can choose how to receive the funds—from monthly income to a lump sum to the most popular option: a line of credit.Whether it's a car repair or a medical bill, reverse mortgage lines of credit provide flexibility. And it's all about wise stewardship.At the heart of this decision is a stewardship principle. As Proverbs 24:3 reminds us, “By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established.” It doesn't make sense to live in a paid-off home but struggle to pay for groceries while racking up 30% interest on credit cards. That's not good stewardship.Reverse mortgages aren't for everyone—but many avoid them simply due to fear or misunderstanding. For some, it could be a life-giving solution.If you're entering—or well into—retirement and want to explore whether a reverse mortgage might be a fit for your situation, visit Movement.com/Faith. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 71 and still working, but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to keep it up. Would a reverse mortgage help me eliminate my monthly mortgage payment, allowing me to manage better if I need to stop working?I have recently retired and hold a 401(k) account with Fidelity. Someone mentioned a company called Big Money Retirement Solution, which offers a 9% annual return on an annuity. Should I consider moving half of my portfolio there?I heard there's a way to get a free credit report that the government requires.

In this episode Brian and Jeff discuss a big market warning for retirees and how the real estate market is evolving for landlords. 

From protecting quarterbacks to protecting retirements, Triad Member, Terence Brown never stopped being a left tackle.After a career playing Division I football at BYU and a stint in the pros, he transitioned into financial services and brought his team-first mindset with him. Today, he leads Left Tackle Advisors—a fast-growing planning firm where protecting people's blind sides isn't just a tagline, it's deeply embedded in the culture.In this episode, Terence shares how he evolved from high-volume product sales to a planning-first model. He doesn't serve as many people, but the relationships got deeper, the work got better, and the clients got bigger.He unpacks how that transition fueled growth from $5M to $33M in annual new assets, how intentional language transformed his team's culture, and why the advisors who win long-term will be the ones who build real relationships—not just retirement plans.3 of the biggest insights from Terence…#1.) Why Language Matters More Than You ThinkTerence calls his clients “teammates”— and that one change has transformed the culture of his firm. His team doesn't “serve clients”; they protect their teammates. That small shift in language has created deeper connection, more ownership, and a community retirees actually want to be part of.#2.) Feedback Is a Superpower (If You Can Get Over Your Ego)Every athlete watches game film to improve. Terence brings that same philosophy into his business—recording every seminar, prompting AI to coach him, and treating every piece of feedback like a gift. His secret? Separating the message from the messenger so growth doesn't get blocked by ego.#3.) Solve Bigger Problems, Serve at a Deeper LevelBy shifting from a product-driven model to holistic planning, Terrence increased his average client AUM to over $700K — a significant jump from the smaller transactional accounts he started with. Fewer clients. Bigger impact. Stronger relationships. That's how he's building a firm and a legacy that lasts.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/128FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

Ep 114: Retirement doesn't always mean slowing down. For some, it means stepping up to support a loved one with autism. In this episode, Ben and Curtis talk with Dr. Alexandra Rogers, a retired psychologist and autism advocate, about the unique role many grandparents and retirees play as caregivers. With warmth and deep experience, Dr. Rogers explores how to better understand autism from the perspective of the individual, how to balance love, advocacy, and boundaries, and how to thoughtfully plan for long-term care and housing. She also offers guidance on how caregivers can recognize when they need support for their own mental health and how to care for themselves while caring for others. Whether you're helping a grandchild, adult child, or extended family member, this conversation offers practical strategies and heartfelt encouragement for finding purpose and peace in a complex role.

Expectations for interest rate changed this week. Why do investors think decreases are less likely? Retirees should expect sticker shock on healthcare costs in retirement.

In this episode Brian and Jeff discuss President trump's One Big Beautiful Bill and what it means for investors and retirees. 

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law on July 4th, brings about several important tax changes. I'm discussing what these updates mean, especially for retirees, and sharing practical advice on how to take advantage of new deductions and avoid unexpected tax hits.  From permanent adjustments to tax brackets and an increased standard deduction, to special benefits for those aged 65 and older, I cover everything you need to know to optimize your retirement strategy. Whether you're curious about Social Security taxation, itemized deductions in high-tax states, or planning smart Roth conversions, this episode is packed with insights to help you make informed financial decisions for your golden years. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] An overview of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). [06:13] Roth conversion tax implications. [07:29] Additional deductions for those over 65 increase total deductions. [11:35] TCJA and SALT deduction changes. [13:43] Strategies to lower taxable income for retirees. Key Tax Changes Every Retiree Needs to Know About the One Big Beautiful Bill Act One of the most impactful provisions of the OBBBA is making existing federal income tax brackets permanent. The 2017 TCJA tax brackets —10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37% —had been set to expire after 2025, which would have led to higher rates. The new act not only locks these rates in place but also indexes the brackets for inflation. While there are minor changes in the income thresholds at the lower brackets, the net result is stability for taxpayers, and retirees can now plan with confidence, knowing their marginal tax rates aren't set for an imminent hike. Higher Standard Deductions Standard deductions also see positive changes, rising to $15,750 for individuals and $31,500 for married couples filing jointly. Previously, these figures were $15,000 and $30,000, respectively. With higher deductions, more retirees may find it beneficial to take the standard deduction rather than itemizing, saving time and potentially reducing taxable income. Extra Deductions for Retirees 65+ Perhaps the most significant impact for retirees: From 2025 through 2028, filers aged 65 and up can claim an additional $6,000 deduction per person. For couples where both spouses are over 65, that's a $12,000 boost, on top of the already existing extra deduction for seniors ($2,000 for individuals, $3,200 for couples). So, if both spouses are over 65 and income is below the required threshold, the combined standard deduction could reach $46,700. There is a catch, though: this extra deduction phases out as income rises, disappearing entirely for individuals making $175,000 or more and couples earning $225,000 or more in modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). The deduction is reduced by 6% for every dollar over $75,000 (for individuals) or $150,000 (for couples). For example, if a couple's MAGI is $200,000, they'd lose $3,000 of the $6,000 deduction per spouse. Timing IRA distributions or Roth conversions helps you stay under these thresholds and maximize deductions. Social Security Taxation Although there was political talk about ending Social Security taxation, the OBBBA preserves the old rules. How much of your Social Security benefit is taxable depends on your combined income, still calculated as adjusted gross income plus 50% of your Social Security benefit. The deduction enhancements may help lower your taxable income, keeping more Social Security benefits untaxed, but there are no direct changes here. Being mindful of when and how you draw taxable income can keep more of your Social Security out of the IRS's reach. Itemized Deductions and SALT Cap Changes For high-tax state residents and those with larger itemized deductions, another headline is the increase in the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap. Temporarily, from now through 2029, the cap rises from $10,000 to as much as $40,000 (with phase-outs for high earners, those over $500,000 in MAGI lose this benefit, and it disappears after $600,000). This can provide significant relief for homeowners or retirees in states with high property or state income taxes. The mortgage interest deduction rules remain unchanged, and when combined with the higher SALT cap, could make itemizing more attractive for some. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act creates opportunities and considerations for retirees. Take the time to review your financial plan, explore new deduction limits, and coordinate with tax and financial professionals. Thoughtful adjustment now can lead to years of improved after-tax retirement income.  Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE  Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact   Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

Mentoring often sounds like the perfect way to steward your time in retirement—until you try it and realize it's not as intuitive as you'd hoped.For many retirees, mentoring seems like a meaningful way to invest in the next generation—a way to put their life experience to work. But what if we've misunderstood how mentoring fits into God's design for this season of life? Jeff Haanen joins us with practical stories and spiritual insight to help us reframe it.Jeff Haanen is an accomplished entrepreneur and the founder of the Denver Institute for Faith & Work. He is the author of An Uncommon Guide to Retirement: Finding God's Purpose for the Next Season of Life and Working from the Inside Out: A Brief Guide to Inner Work That Transforms Our Outer World.Rethinking MentoringRetirement is often marketed as the reward for decades of hard work—a long-awaited season of leisure and personal fulfillment. But what if there's a deeper, richer invitation waiting for us in this chapter of life? What if retirement isn't just about what we get—but what we give?Retirement isn't the end of our calling. It's a fresh opportunity to steward our lives for God's Kingdom in powerful new ways. One of the most meaningful ways we can do that is through mentoring—especially when we reimagine it as intergenerational friendship.Many of us picture mentoring as a formal, structured relationship: scheduled coffee dates where the older offers wisdom and the younger listens. While these settings can be helpful, we've found that mentoring is most fruitful when it grows from an organic, mutual friendship.Rather than casting ourselves as sages who dispense advice, we're invited to be fellow travelers—learning, laughing, sharing, and growing together. Intergenerational friendships emphasize mutual respect, shared experiences, and spiritual growth over time.This vision of mentoring as a form of friendship has deep roots in Scripture. Jesus said to His disciples, “I no longer call you servants… I have called you friends” (John 15:15). The Apostle Paul invested in Timothy, Elijah mentored Elisha, and Naomi walked with Ruth—but in each of these relationships, we find more than just a teacher and a student. We see companions whose hearts were knit together in love and trust.In God's upside-down Kingdom, wisdom flows both ways. The older bring experience and insight; the younger bring hope, energy, and perspective. Together, we become more like Christ.What Makes Mentoring Thrive?Through our own journey and through observing others, we've seen several elements that make these relationships truly flourish:Delight in the Next Generation. Mentoring starts not with duty but with joy. When we find genuine delight in those younger than us—when we enjoy being with them, listening, and learning—we build the foundation for real connection. Affirm Before Advising. Many younger adults are uncertain about their calling or whether they have what it takes. A word of affirmation can be far more powerful than advice. Encouragement builds trust and opens the door to growth. Lead with Vulnerability. We don't need to have it all together. It's our stories of failure and God's faithfulness that often minister most deeply. Humility makes room for healing and hope. Commit for the Long Haul. There's no shortcut to transformation. Mentoring thrives when we're patient and willing to walk alongside someone over time—through victories, setbacks, and seasons of change. Ask Thoughtful Questions. Jesus often asked His disciples powerful, heart-revealing questions. We can do the same. When we help others discover truth for themselves, they take greater ownership of their journey.The local church is a natural place to start. It's one of the few places left in our culture where generations regularly gather. Maybe it's time to simply show up—to attend a young adult gathering, volunteer in youth ministry, or offer to listen and pray for someone younger.Our workplaces also offer opportunities. Even in retirement, we may still have professional wisdom worth sharing. Informal conversations, apprenticeships, or consulting can all create meaningful space for mentorship.Most importantly, we must pray. We've learned to listen—not only to our mentee but to the Holy Spirit. We ask: Lord, what do You want us to say in this moment? How can we best serve this person? Prayer is the lifeblood of all fruitful mentoring relationships.What If Retirement Looked Like This?Imagine if thousands of believers approaching retirement swapped comfort for Kingdom impact. What if instead of isolating ourselves, we stepped into churches and communities, offering our time, wisdom, and presence?We believe that mentoring may be one of the most significant contributions we can make in our later years—not only for the benefit of others, but also for our own joy and growth. As we give ourselves away, we often find our richest reward.So here's the invitation: Start showing up. Start listening. Start sharing your story. And watch what God does through friendship across generations.Help Us Equip Others to Live with PurposeRight now, more people than ever are seeking biblical wisdom to navigate their finances and their calling.

In this episode of Nurturing Financial Freedom, we dive into the implications of the newly passed federal tax bill—also known asl the “big, beautiful bill.” While the name might suggest sweeping changes, the truth is more about maintaining the status quo and preventing an expiration of key provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. We break down what that means for retirees, investors, and anyone planning their financial future.We start with the basics. Alex explains that the bill keeps existing tax brackets intact through 2025. The seven current brackets—ranging from 10% to 37%—remain unchanged and will continue to adjust with inflation. This alone helps prevent tax hikes for most Americans. Next, we look at the standard deduction. It's staying high: $15,750 for individuals and $31,500 for married couples filing jointly in 2025. For seniors aged 65 and older, there's an added bonus—an additional $6,000 per person. That means some retired couples could deduct up to $43,500, significantly lowering their taxable income. However, this senior deduction phases out at incomes over $150,000 and disappears entirely at $250,000.Another highlight is a small but impactful update to tip and overtime tax treatment. Up to $2,500 in tips and $5,000 in overtime income will now be tax-exempt, a win for part-time workers and younger family members in service jobs. We also see an increase in the SALT (state and local tax) deduction cap—from $10,000 to $40,000—which could encourage some high earners in states like New York and California to start itemizing again.Ed takes over to unpack how this affects investments. Capital gains tax rates remain unchanged, with the familiar 0%, 15%, and 20% tiers, adjusted for inflation. The 3.8% net investment income tax—sometimes dubbed the Obamacare surcharge—still applies to higher-income earners. Importantly, the step-up in basis on inherited assets is untouched, preserving one of the most efficient methods of wealth transfer.The bill also maintains the Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) option, allowing those over 70½ to donate up to $100,000 directly from IRAs without increasing taxable income. Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) still begin at age 73. We round out with a reminder on smart asset location—keeping tax-inefficient investments in tax-deferred accounts and long-term strategies in taxable accounts.While the bill doesn't overhaul the tax code, it preserves favorable conditions for most Americans, especially retirees and investors. Our advice remains: understand how these provisions impact your specific situation and reach out to a financial professional for personalized planning.

(00:00) Exploring Careers at Golf Courses This chapter explores the appealing prospect of working at a golf course, especially for retirees seeking a productive yet enjoyable way to spend their time. We discuss the various roles available, from mowing fairways to managing the finer details around the course, and highlight the perks like free golf and a sense of pride in maintaining the greens. The conversation touches on the types of tasks that retirees might find rewarding, emphasizing their reliability and attention to detail. Personal anecdotes illustrate how retirees, like my father, have found fulfillment and joy in such roles, demonstrating how a part-time job at a golf course can blend work and play seamlessly. (09:44) Hiring and Training at Golf Courses This chapter addresses both job seekers and golf course operators, providing valuable insights into working at a golf course. We highlight the importance of personality and charisma for roles such as starters, who not only manage tee times but also serve as ambassadors for the club, creating memorable experiences for golfers. We share an entertaining anecdote about a former army drill sergeant turned starter, whose unique style made him unforgettable. Additionally, we emphasize the value of hiring personable marshals and player services staff who can enhance the golfing experience by assisting players and maintaining the pace of play. By prioritizing individuals with strong interpersonal skills, golf courses can foster a welcoming and engaging atmosphere that encourages repeat visits. (20:54) Enhancing Golf Course Culture This chapter explores innovative approaches to hiring and utilizing golf course employees, especially in light of regulations surrounding volunteer work and minimum wage standards. We share insights on how golf enthusiasts can engage in roles such as starters, marshals, and clubhouse staff, while enjoying the benefits of discounted or even free golf. The conversation highlights the importance of creating a welcoming culture at the golf course by employing personable and knowledgeable retirees and young professionals who interact directly with clients. Additionally, we discuss the operational efficiencies of separating the pro shop from the snack bar or restaurant, ensuring specialized and attentive service in both areas. Through these strategies, golf courses can enhance customer experiences and foster a friendly and efficient environment. (33:52) Tailoring Skills to Golf Course Roles This chapter explores the intricacies of working at a golf course and highlights the importance of matching personalities to roles within the golf industry. We emphasize that while skills are essential, a personable and affable demeanor is crucial for customer-facing positions, as golf courses are part of the entertainment business. We discuss how retirees with specific skill sets, such as math or organizational skills, can find valuable roles behind the scenes, allowing more personable employees to shine in customer interactions. Additionally, we provide insights on how individuals can approach potential employers by showcasing their unique strengths and suggesting how they can fill gaps in the existing team. We highlight the benefits of flexibility and availability, particularly for retirees, in ensuring that a golf course operates smoothly, even during less desirable hours. Ultimately, it's about creating a win-win situation for the staff, the customers, and the golf course itself. (42:53) Selling Yourself for Golf Course Jobs This chapter explores the importance of being an asset to a golf course when seeking employment. I emphasize the need for a positive attitude and a willingness to engage with people, as these are key to encouraging golfers to return, even if they experience minor irritations. We discuss how showcasing your personality and skills to a head pro can open doors, and I share the value of focusing on what you can contribute to the golf course rather than just what you can gain. The chapter highlights the social benefits of working at a golf course and encourages an approach centered on community and connection rather than self-interest.

In this episode, we sit down with Tad Smith—partner at One Roundtable Partners, former CEO of Madison Square Garden and Sotheby's, and one of bitcoin's most articulate educators—to explore the moral case for orange-pilling, and why it's not a right but a responsibility.

I've never been more physically mangled in a podcast episode. We invited former WWE wrestler Sledgehammer onto other show and they taught me a few moves (without much respect or bodily awareness). Perhaps this is why the Sledgehammer has retired and now tends to their succulent shop. We learn about their journey from early wrestling days and we pick up a few tips from this green thumb. To follow Sledgehammer's unique journey and stay updated on their succulent shop and upcoming shows, find them on Instagram @stevieshale. Cam is also performing his solo show, Just To Be Close To You, throughout July and August all over the world. You can catch his tour dates at his link in bio on Instagram @camoncam69.
