  • Losing Ground

    Good info for a while, lately sounding like a sales pitch for the firm. Over-monitized; spend the show forwarding through ads.

  • Scaremongers

    Always trying to complicate retirement planning to get new clients. Everything is too hard: asset allocation, when to take ss, income in retirement. Also disingenuous to say the 4% rule won’t work if markets are bad early in retirement. That’s exactly what the 4% rule does say: in the worst conditions in the past a 4% withdrawal will not outlast your money.
