About this episode

The episode discusses the recent increase in inflation and its implications for retirement planning.

Inflation had been falling, but the latest report shows a 4.2% increase over the past year ending in May, the highest in three years. Jesse digs deeper into the data and shows how a stress test for your plan can help determine if you are in the best position to fight inflation, as well as other factors which could erode your purchasing power. The Purpose Driven Retirement Show features Pat Couture and Jesse Becker, financial advisors with Keystone, an Eau Claire, Wisconsin based firm. This weekly program takes a look at topics related to retirement planning and all the necessary areas to cover in putting together plans which are individually tailored to suit the needs of any particular individual or couple.
