Is Your Financial Advisor A 'Fiduciary?'

10/2/2015
A fiduciary is defined as “… a person who holds a legal or ethical relationship of trust with a person or group of persons. A fiduciary prudently takes care of money for another person …” Retiring successfully … is no accident. Believe me, anyone who is living a successful retirement didn’t get there by winging it. Do you have a stockbroker or financial advisor who’s helping you with that? Are your financial decisions being guided by someone who just wants to make a commission? Or are they a “fiduciary?” It’s critical you understand the difference. On Friday's show we’ll reveal the pros and cons of fiduciaries and non-fiduciaries. What those differences are. And most importantly, what it all means to you. brbr Advisory services offered through Rik Saylor Financial, a Registered Investment Adviser.

5/22/2015
Are you attempting to plan your own retirement? To do it yourself? Be careful here. That’s a dangerous game you’re playing. One overlooked strategy could cost you. Think about it … What if you miss RMDs (required minimum distribution) on your IRAs and have to pay a 50% penalty on the amount you should have drawn ?! What if you didn’t understand how to truly optimize your social security benefits, and you left tens of thousands of dollars on the table? Or what if you overpaid thousands in taxes, you first have to recognize what you missed and then refile/amend within 3 years! So what is the real cost of doing it yourself? And is it really worth it? Some mistakes in retirement planning can be corrected, some can't. brbr Advisory services offered through Rik Saylor Financial, a Registered Investment Adviser.
