068: Mail Bag: Answering More Questions from Our Listeners with Chris Rett

The Guided Retirement Show

Every week, our listeners send us questions on YouTube and through email–and every season, we try to answer as many of them as we can. The first time around, we had the privilege of speaking with Chris Rett, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and he kindly made time to join us for this episode as well.

While we can’t give perfect guidance for your specific financial situation in an episode of a podcast, we do have a special offer for you as a listener of the Guided Retirement Show. Simply click here to schedule a 20-Minute Ask Anything session with one of our CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals, and we’ll be in touch to help you chart a course toward a smart, sustainable retirement.

In this episode, Chris and I dig into a wide array of topics, including how to accurately estimate your income and taxes in retirement, how to determine which retirement vehicle is best suited to your needs, and a ton of other issues facing people in their pre-retirement and early retirement years.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

• How to calculate your estimated retirement income.
• What Biden’s executive order to “do away with money and go digital” actually did.
• Why the government simply can’t take away your 401(k) and bank accounts.
• How to determine whether to pay off more of your mortgage or invest that money in the market.
• The common misconceptions surrounding Roth IRAs.
• How COLA benefits affect your Social Security income.
