from The Financial Quarterback®: Your Game Plan to Protect Your Money and Retirement for Business and Investing · host Josh Jalinski

Is your financial plan more complicated than it needs to be? Josh sits down with Jon Luskin, CFP and board member at the John Bogle Center for Financial Literacy, to unpack why simplicity might be the most overlooked strategy in personal finance. Known for helping DIY investors cut through the noise, Jon shares why single-fund solutions like target date and balanced funds can go further than bloated portfolios filled with unnecessary holdings. They cover the foundations of smart financial planning, from term life and disability insurance to revocable living trusts and emergency letters. Jon explains how to protect yourself with the right insurance, how to avoid overthinking your portfolio, and why simplicity doesn’t mean sacrificing results.
