Yield to Reason Podcast | Retirement, Income, and the Financial Planning Details no one Explains
Money is math and math doesn’t care about your feelings. The Yield to Reason Podcast exists to help you identify when you are being too emotional and when you aren’t being emotional enough.
The Reality is stark. Nearly 51% of Americans worry about outliving their savings, and 70% of retirees wish they had started saving earlier. Furthermore, 55% of Americans worry they won't achieve financial security in retirement. These statistics highlight a pervasive unease about the future.
That snazzy tip you read on the listicle of the “Top 10 Smart Financial Moves to Make this Month” sounds great. But was it advice designed to get you further ahead or to improve the authors engagement on content?
We’re not here to give you flavor-of-the-week advice. Our content is dense, thoroughly researched, and—at times—perhaps a little unapproachable to the novice investor. For this, we make no apologies. Facts matter. So if you are ready to dive down the rabbit hole of your financial life, we applaud you for your efforts. And we promise to do our very best in assisting you on your journey.
