Father's Day Special - Still listening to his advice?

On this Father’s Day, consider this: “My father had taught me – mostly by example—that if a man wanted to be in charge of his life, he had to be in charge of his problems.” The line comes from Joyland, a novel penned by one of the famous masters of horror, Stephen King. A father of three himself, King’s characters are known for facing down their problems—albeit often in the form of a killer clown or murderous Plymouth Fury. Most of us grew up with a father that was a solid rock to rely on when bills started piling up or life problems seemed endless. We carry this idea of our father with us throughout our lives, and ask for their sacred armchair wisdom even into our adult years (but not when the big game is on, of course.) This week on Retirement 360, Kentuckiana’s Retirement Coach Alan Mercurio and wealth advisor, Troy Bolton will be discussing how taking this lesson passed on by our fathers can have a huge impact in the financial world. When you start looking at retirement, it can seem overwhelming—but with the right team behind you, any problem can be tackled. Social security, income streams, taxes, expenses, and a whole host of other issues can spring up when you’re getting a plan together. The solution? Just what your dad taught you: don’t bury your head in the sand hoping it will go away—face it head-on.Retirement 360 is a Sunday morning radio tradition in the Louisville, Kentucky area, running for well over a decade. Alan Mercuio and Troy Bolton of Mercurio Wealth Advisors take a look at economic issues and topics related to retirement planning, as well as educating listeners to help prepare them for their post-working years, whatever they may have in mind for them.
