About this episode
The episode discusses low retirement confidence and its implications, alongside market volatility and tax strategies.
Saturday, April 25th. Retirement Confidence Is Low. What Do We Do? This week, Dave Spano and Dr. Brian Jacobsen look ahead to what less Fed forward guidance could mean for rate volatility, why strong balance sheets may become a market advantage, and how global energy flows could quietly shift away from geopolitical chokepoints. Plus, the political noise shaking markets and why retirement confidence has sunk to a ten‑year low, as rising costs and growing uncertainty leave workers feeling increasingly uneasy. Additional segments on being tax savvy and Required Minimum Distribution Strategies.
