Welcome back to another episode of the Rational Reminder Podcast. Our goal this year is to find our podcasting rhythm, creating a schedule that alternates between guests and these conversational episodes where it’s just us.
On today’s episode we want to pull the focus of the podcast back to answering a handful of client questions that have come up in the past little while.
So on today’s episode we are jumping right in to answer those
listener questions, getting back on the factor train, and trying to
get to the root of the desire for face-to-face investment advice.
We also talk about a few articles as well, including some of the
biggest headlines in investment news, and why it it critical to not
only save for but also make plans to fulfill the vision of your
retirement. So for another insightful episode answering all of your
questions, stay tuned!
