Today I’m tackling a few retirement and investing questions from our listeners.
Specifically, I’m answering the following:
- How do you make sense of the two conflicting July 2022 inflation reports (0% inflation vs 8.5%)?
- What are Buffer ETFs and are they a good investment for retirement accounts?
- What will the 2023 Social Security COLA be and why are news outlets quoting different numbers?
If you’re ready to get answers to some of the top retirement questions I’ve received lately, this episode is for you.
