Roy Matlock Jr.'s Money and Business Hour

What should actually happen when you meet with a financial advisor? Roy Matlock Jr. walks through the process of identifying the gaps in your finances, setting goals, protecting what you have, building wealth, and adjusting the plan as life changes. From getting started to raising a family, owning a business, and creating generational wealth, Roy explains what should be addressed at every stage.

In the July 25, 2026 episode of The Roy Matlock, Jr. Money and Business Hour, Roy shifts from traditional financial planning topics into the mindset behind financial success.

Roy Matlock Jr. walks through a practical checklist for getting your financial house in order, starting with the defense: income, budgeting, emergency savings, insurance, debt, and estate planning. Then he shifts to the offense: automatic investing, retirement accounts, Roth strategies, college savings, tax buckets, and building toward financial independence.

In this episode of The Roy Matlock, Jr. Money and Business Hour, Roy focuses on what he calls the retirement red zone: the period roughly 10 years before retirement through the early years of retirement. He explains how planning changes once someone moves from accumulating money to withdrawing income, covering Social Security, annuities, investment allocation, long-term care, tax planning, and estate transfer strategies.

In this episode of The Roy Matlock, Jr. Money and Business Hour, Roy follows up his previous conversation on “The Defense” by shifting into “The Offense” — the side of financial planning focused on growth, wealth building, tax strategy, and long-term family impact.

In the May 9, 2026 episode of The Roy Matlock, Jr. Money and Business Hour, Roy Matlock Jr. explains why financial success requires both a strong defense and a smart offense. He breaks down the importance of budgeting, avoiding bad debt, protecting income with insurance, building emergency savings, investing consistently, using Roth IRA strategies, managing 401(k)s properly, and creating long-term “do nothing money.” Roy also introduces listeners to the opportunity to join his expanding advisor network, learn the financial business from the inside, and help families build stronger financial plans.

This episode focuses on helping listeners who haven’t yet reached $100,000 in savings build a clear, practical plan to get started. Roy breaks down the foundational steps to growing income, avoiding financial mistakes, and creating momentum through disciplined saving and smart investing.

Roy’s message is blunt: if you wait to save money “when you have it,” you’ll never have it. This episode is the simple checklist—10% rule, budget, emergency fund, kill bad debt, automate investing, protect your income with term life and disability coverage, then let compounding create “do-nothing money.”

Big storms create big claim mistakes. This episode shows you how to avoid getting shorted on an insurance claim—especially with roofs, hail, wind, and hidden damage you may not see from the ground. Roy talks with Dory Howarth and Ty Carter about deadlines, claim audits, documentation, and why a “free inspection” can prevent a financial mess later.

Roy says it plainly: you become an owner, not a loaner. This episode explains the wealth-accumulation “offense” plan—risk tolerance, diversification, dollar-cost averaging, rebalancing, retirement calculators, Roth vs. pre-tax decisions, and tax-smart moves (including charitable giving strategies). If you want a plan you can automate and follow, start here.

On a milestone broadcast where Roy notes he’s officially turned 65, he challenges listeners to stop letting time slip by and get serious about the fundamentals: knowing your net worth, creating a real budget, and building a profit margin you can invest. He lays out a simple, “automatic” roadmap—protect your income, eliminate dumb spending, invest consistently, and build a plan that leads to financial independence.

On The Roy Matlock, Jr. Money and Business Hour (December 20, 2025), Roy walks through a practical retirement game plan—from getting money on “autopilot” in the accumulation years to building reliable, tax-smart income in retirement. He explains key retirement risks (like sequence-of-returns, longevity, and taxes), why diversification and professional management matter, and how tools like annuities can provide a paycheck foundation you don’t outlive.
