U.S. stock markets rose but gains have evaporated a bit with the Fed’s most recent rate hike and data pointing to a tight labor market. Central banks are also becoming more nuanced in their fight against inflation. Consumers are still out there, the economy is still moving ahead, unemployment obviously still positive, but a recession could still be on the horizon. All this and more on Protect Your Assets this week.

It’s easier to plan for and control when taxes are paid than you might think. People are often surprised to discover that taxes are one of their biggest expenses in retirement. For many, the assumption is that once they retire and their paychecks stop coming, taxes would go down.
Reducing the taxes you pay in retirement means you likely will need to withdraw less money from your savings each year to cover expenses. As a result, your savings may last longer, leaving more money available to spend on things you enjoy. While most people understand this, many often fail to fully appreciate the control they could have over taxes. People who acquire large amounts of wealth often recognize that many strategies exist to control when taxes will be paid. More important is the realization that by timing when taxes are paid, opportunities arise to also control the amount of those taxes. With the planned sunsetting of the 2018 Tax Cuts and Job Acts and concern that tax rates might be rising in the future, now is an ideal time to understand the extent of your control over your taxes and how this might lead to a more confident and enjoyable lifestyle now—not to mention your retirement.

Are you thinking of retiring this year? Now is the time to start planning—from what to do with cash sitting in your bank account to how to withdraw your Social Security benefits most effectively. Hear three retirement pitfalls to avoid.
Plus, the market had a great week last week, and jobless claims near multi-decade lows. It’s unclear how much economic growth we will see and how the strong labor market will impact earnings. The buzz also continues to be around if we’ll have a hard or soft landing from the Fed. Particularly strong January performance has often been a signal of above-average gains for the year ahead. Going forward, The Sandman thinks recessionary pressures are going to continue, and we'll continue to see falling corporate earnings and layoffs, particularly in the tech sector, causing volatility in this first half of the year. Catch the rest of the weekly market report on this week’s episode.

Also, The Sandman breaks down the eight types of people who might not want to do a Roth IRA conversion.
Plus, the stock and bond markets were both up last week, a result of inflation dropping for the third straight month. The core Consumer Price Index, which includes food and energy, eased lower to 5.7%, but the Fed stated it wanted it around 2% to start cutting rates to stimulate the economy. How have markets historically performed when the Fed is about to pivot or to change direction?

It’s a new year. Have you been thinking of your goals for this year? Is one of those goals to retire in 2023? How about saving for something you always wanted? We’re going to share some easy things you can do to save more money and get ready for retirement if that's what you're thinking about.
All the major stock markets have been up a little bit. Will that continue? Are you prepared for what could be coming here in the next six weeks? Are you financially prepared to take care of yourself for the next 20, 30, maybe even 40 years? What about a loved one? A fairly extensive research study recently concluded that the vast majority of you are not prepared for retirement. And here's why. Retiring today is different than it was ten years ago, especially when most company-sponsored pension plans are obsolete. We're living much longer. You have to figure out how to generate income off your assets without putting everything you've worked for at risk. And right now, with inflation and expenses, everything's so much more expensive. Taxes are tough, too. Stay tuned here for our first financial bootcamp of the year, where we cover some basics you need to know.
