Life Insurance, Index Funds, Mutual Funds, Low Fees, Lower Fees, - hey even Negative Fees now! đ« Risk, Risk Management, Risk tolerance... how in the world do you know what to do, let alone know how the results will turn out?
Only by building on a foundation of Guarantees can you navigate the financial world with any sort of confidence. No mortal can tell you exactly how the future will turn out. Accept this truth and protect yourself from volatility, then take a cue from đ Burger King and đ McDonalds, and youâll be able to bypass most financial advice (and shenanigans) no problem.
Truth can be tricky to search out; it is very simple and logical when you find it. Manage your own money and this can mean lots of extra $ that stay in your pocket rather than subsidizing superfluous money managers.
In this episode:
Life Insurance Companies are updating their products for the latest 2017 CSO Mortality tables (CSO = Commissioners Standard Ordinary). The previous major CSO tables were assembled in 2001.

Special history on the Apollo 11 astronauts! (timecode: 4min 37sec) đ As we celebrate their achievement with the Moon landing đ and their safe return to earth đ 50 years ago this week, itâs a great time to reflect on how the astronauts planned for their families just-in-case they did not make it home alive.
These 3 heroes could not qualify for Life Insurance, but they did have the brilliant values to protect their families before they left on the dangerous and historic trip to the Moon.
Deferral has been called âmagicâ đ© in the financial world. Deferral can help you accumulate more money, but will it actually provide you more money to use? This is a gamble on where tax rates could go and how the market might perform.
Where are taxes going in the Future? Listen for what you should consider before jumping on the Tax Deferral bandwagon. Just because âeveryone is doing itâ doesnât automatically make deferring your taxes the best thing to do.
Right now, Congress is contemplating changes to deferral/distribution rules such as the âSECUREâ Act which has passed the House of Representatives and sits in the Senate. If you have deferred taxes over your lifetime, itâs worth considering the possible outcomes while thereâs still time to make some changes before you actually need the money.
Donât gamble with your with your financial future! Make sure you have a guaranteed foundation of at least some money you can access tax-free. This gives you better options for your Passive Income and providing a legacy.

Did you know that nearly 3 out of every 10 people provide care for chronically ill, disabled or aged members of their family? đš Itâs true, and more than 1 out of 10 of these family caregivers provide 40 or more hours of care per week!
