The internet is full of financial advice. Some is good, some is great, and some downright dangerous. After nearly 17 years as a financial advisor, I’ve heard it all. In this episode, I’m calling out the bad advice for retirees and pre-retirees that still gets passed around today in hopes that you will plan better for retirement!
I hope you enjoy it.
