Today’s Question:

When you travel this summer, you’ll probably have a few things in mind as you go through the airport.

In The News:

2:56 In the news: RMD age change

  • Congress is working on a bill to push back the RMD age from 70.5 to 72.
  • There’s always give and take, but overall Nathan likes this idea.
  • One of the negatives, however, is the rule on an inherited IRA.
  • Nathan discusses how it could have implications on how “retirement age” is defined in the future.

In The Airport:

9:04 What to filter out

  • Just like you don’t want to bring a full-size bottle of shampoo through TSA, you want to filter out debt before retirement.
  • Home debt is not considered “bad debt”, but if you can get rid of it, you’ll have more flexibility with your finances.
  • Letting go of some stocks will reduce your volatility.
  • A good portfolio for retirement might have 50-70 percent in stocks.
  • If kids are living at home, it might be time for them to move out as you near retirement.

11:55 Worth the extra cost

  • Things like the TSA PreCheck cost more but can save you some time and trouble. You get a similar impact in retirement when you work with a fiduciary advisor.
  • Advice from a fiduciary might cost money but that person can truly give you guidance and help.
  • The cost of long-term care insurance is high, but if you need care (and the odds are you will) it will help you and your spouse and be worth the cost.

14:05 Subject to change

  • You need to be flexible in retirement, just as you would be when your gate changes at the airport.
  • One of the best things you can do is remain physically and socially active.
  • Income can fluctuate. Taxes can, too. Have a plan that’s flexible.
  • Working with a good advisor can help you adapt to changes.

A Point Of Wisdom:

People think about stocks providing return but sometimes forget about the risk side. Reducing volatility in retirement can make a difference, so you probably want to reduce some of the stocks you have when in retirement. - Nathan O'Bryant
