Is Your Retirement Advisor Actually Working for You?

On this episode of Retirement Matters, Dale Smothers covers a wide range of topics retirees and pre-retirees need to hear right now- including how to know if your financial advisor is actually working in your best interest, what's happening in the bond market and how it could affect your retirement accounts in both the short and long term, and a breakdown of key tax considerations heading into retirement. Dale also shares the specific markers that signal you're truly ready to walk away from a stable paycheck and why so many people retire "okay" but never get the confident, fully-planned retirement they worked so hard for. 📞 Ready to build a plan you can walk into retirement with confidence?
