Facing My Fears: The Subscription Audit | Steven Evensen, CFP®

By: Steven Evensen, CFP® October: The Scariest Thing in My Budget One hour with my inbox and credit card statements freed up $172.99 a month. October is the month for facing what scares you, so I picked something I had been avoiding for a while: my own subscription list. Not a haunted house. Just a long look at every recurring charge leaving my account. I plan finances for a living, and I still found money going out the door for things I had stopped thinking about. That is

The Key to Financial Wellness: Creating A Budget | Chase McCormick

By Chase McCormick Financial wellness is real. And lately, when talking to clients, I've begun to refer to myself as a financial wellness coach. The reason I initially wanted to become a financial advisor is because my former advisor helped me go from feeling anxious every time I swiped my card, to feeling stress-free knowing I had a plan in place. My goal has always been to do the same for my clients. Because as their financial wellness coach, I want them to feel good about

What the 3.6% Social Security Raise Means for You | Robby Lewis

By: Robby Lewis Social Security benefits will increase 3.6% in 2027, which is the largest cost of living adjustment since 2023. For the average retiree, that is about $75 more per month, starting in January. The adjustment is based on a government inflation measure that tracks the spending of working households, which is why many retirees feel it does not fully match their own costs, especially for healthcare and housing. Keep in mind that the raise on paper is not always the

Why CDs Are No Longer the Obvious Choice | Zachary Bainter

By: Zach Bainter CDs have long been the go-to for people who want safe, predictable returns. However, the alternatives to CDs can be more compelling in the right situation, and taxes must be a consideration. To illustrate this, let’s look at 3-year CDs. The top ones pay about 4.5% to 4.85% annually, usually offered from an online bank. While the CD rates might look attractive, it is important to consider your after-tax return. CD interest is taxed as ordinary income in the y

10b5-1 Rebranding: Meet the ASP, the Automatic Selling Plan | Hatem Dhiab

A “Rule 10b5-1 trading plan” is not a name. It’s a Wi-Fi password. It sounds like a replacement part for a dishwasher. Yet this little regulatory serial number sits between thousands of executives, founders and employees and some of their most valuable equity holdings. It deserves a rebrand. So at Gerber Kawasaki, we coined a simpler name: the ASP, the Automatic Selling Plan. (An asp is also the name of a snake, a fitting metaphor for the apprehension some people feel when th

9 Mistakes To Avoid When Inheriting an Annuity | Mia Samson

By: Mia Samson Receiving an annuity after someone passes away might seem pretty straightforward. You inherit the account, figure out what you want to do with the money, and move on. Unfortunately, inherited annuities can be a lot more complicated than that. There are specific rules to follow, deadlines that matter, and decisions you make early on can impact your taxes and your options down the road. I saw this firsthand with a client who inherited a retirement annuity when he

A credit card can build your financial foundation just as easily as it can undermine it and the difference usually comes down to a handful of specific mechanics and habits that most people were never actually taught. A credit score is a three-digit number, ranging from 300 to 850, that lenders use to determi
