It’s getting towards the end of the year. If you have a required minimum distribution to take from a retirement account, do you know how much you need to withdraw? If not, watch this video!
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
‘Americans Have Never Been Wealthier & No One is Happy’ – Ben Carlson – A Wealth of Common Sense
- Ben digs into the latest report from the Federal Reserve discussing changes to American family finances over the last 3 years. Despite what sentiment might make you think, the average American is in a pretty good spot!
‘Inflation-Proof Your Retirement Savings Now’ – Laura Saunders – The Wall Street Journal
- Inflation has been lingering longer than some people thought it would. This article discusses giving inflation-protected securities like TIPS another shot, even though they didn’t perform how most expected they would last year.
- This article discusses a few changes coming to Social Security next year. The cost of living adjustment will be lower than in 2023, and some tax limits are being raised as well.
‘Stop Betting Against America’ – Ben Carlson – A Wealth of Common Sense
- Utilizing an interesting Twitter account, Ben writes about why betting against America is a bad bet. Over the years, thinking that American on the decline hasn’t paid off for those who take that side of the bet.
ENJOY!
