For the first time in 46 years, your taxes in retirement will likely be higher than when you were working. Why is that? Americans have accumulated over $32 trillion dollars in retirement accounts that have never been taxed (IRAs, 401(k)s, and other company retirement plans). And the U.S. government has accumulated a lot of debt, with no plans to curb the spending. Withdrawals from these tax deferr...

There is a lot of information out there, but not all of it makes sense. If you listen to the "financial gurus" on TV, you'll likely hear opposing ideas. Figuring out what works best for your retirement isn't always so easy. On this week's Marcus Warren Show, we discuss the top financial mistakes people make when they near retirement. Things like, underestimating how much money you will need, makin...

In fact, unemployment is low, inflation is slowing down, and the stock market is up for the year (at least, so far). No one really knows what will happen next. On this week's Marcus Warren show, we discuss why it's impossible to predict the st...

On this week's Marcus Warren show, Marcus breaks down why taxes have to go up and how retirees lose important tax deductions in retirement. That old myth that your taxes will be lower in retirement because you'll have less income, is no longer true. Retirees need just as much, if not more income to keep up with the cost of inflation (have you seen the price of food lately?). And many retirees lose...

If you invested $1 in the stock market in 1999, you would have... just under $1 in 2009. This is referred to as the Lost Decade of Stocks, when the S&P 500 generated an annualized total return of -0.9% over the period. In general, the stock market goes up. You can invest your money and expect it to grow over the long term. But the problem is that the growth doesn't occur in a straight line. And ma...

What does mountain climbing have to do with retirement? Actually, there are many similarities. Fun fact: historically, most accidents and deaths happen on the way down the mountain, after a climber has reached the summit. The same can be said about retirement.
