We’ve seen a massive amount of change in the federal government in the last month since Trump was inaugurated for his second term. The threat of tariffs and inflation, DOGE’s dismantling of legacy government programs, and discussion of annexing Canada and Greenland has many people concerned. This episode we cover the gamut from a financial perspective, including how investors should interpret what’s happening, whether we should be concerned about inflation in the near term, and how the markets have responded so far.

Should you be concerned that the market’s just made several all time highs? This question comes up in various forms any time stock markets set new records. As tempting as it is to assume that what goes up must come down, the market doesn’t think that way. We cover this concept in detail in today’s episode, along with Vanguard’s recent 2025 market forecast and an update on how markets have done since the election.

Ep #250 - Should I Roll My 401k Into an IRA? 50:38

35 weeks тому50:38

50:38

Most Americans have at least some of their retirement savings sitting in workplace retirement plans like 401ks, 403bs, SEP-IRAs and the like. And when you leave a job, due to a retirement transition or not, many people wonder what they should do with the savings they’ve accumulated in the plans. We’ve noticed that the more people tend to have in their retirement plans, the more reluctant they are to take action out of fear of making a mistake. In this episode of the podcast we’ll answer several questions about 401k rollovers: · Should I keep my savings in the 401k or roll the funds into an IRA? · Can I roll my 401k directly into a Roth IRA? · My savings is in the Federal TSP. I’ve heard the plan is really good. Should I roll the funds into an IRA when I retire or stick with the TSP? We’ll also review the logistics of 401k rollovers and how you can avoid major mistakes.

It’s no secret that the IRS is underfunded right now. It takes most taxpayers months to receive refund checks, and most would rather go to the dentist than wait on hold to talk with the IRS.

The platform syncs up with the IRS database and simply notifies you when there are updates to your account. It’s a sorely needed tool, and Tom walks us through what he’s built and how the launch has gone. We also cover an article about Trump’s interest in allowing the sitting president more control over monetary policy, and summarize a volatile week in the markets.
