Drinking the Annual COLA

from Altmeyer Financial Podcast Hosted by Dave Altmeyer

The 2026 Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment, or COLA, was announced at 2.8% earlier this month. Many retirees say this annual increase is not enough to keep up with inflation, and Dave explores some ways to stay ahead of it with your financial plan. He and Jonathan also revisit some of the unknown factors retirees face when they reach their after work years. The Altmeyer Financial Podcast is a podcast version of the weekly radio show featuring financial professional Dave Altmeyer and financial advisor Jonathan Altmeyer of Altmeyer Financial, a retirement planning concern with offices in Spokane, Washington and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. They discuss topics dealing with financial planning for retirement, as well as current economic news and answering listener questions. Investment advisory products and services made available through AE Wealth Management, LLC (AEWM), a Registered Investment Advisor.
