This week on the Retirement Café we are going to discuss the Wealth Planning Pyramid. It’s something Dan and Brent use regularly in their practice, and they felt it would be beneficial to spend some time reviewing it.

One of the buzzwords around financial planning and investment management is fiduciary. On today’s show we are going to spend some time talking about what a fiduciary is and if a fiduciary may be appropriate for your needs.

When we think about receiving a large lump sum of money, we tend to look at that as a positive thing. However, if you look at the statistics among NFL players and lottery winners, they end up filing for bankruptcy only a couple years after receiving those big checks. On today’s show, Dan and Brent talk about some proactive steps you should take when receiving a large amount of money and where most people go wrong.

On this show, we want you to look at your finances in a different way: visually. Research shows that many people learn and understand concepts better when they can see them in a visual format versus in other ways. So Brent and Dan are going to break this down today and discuss some of the tools they use to present information visually.

Today’s episode is all about keeping tabs on where you have been, where you are currently, and where you are heading. Dan and Brent consider this one of the biggest keys to long-term success. It also can be one of the most challenging tasks when dealing with money.
