Retirement Planning and Advising with SOS Preserving Your Money feat. Troy Yeaple

What does your dream retirement look like? Sipping Piña Coladas on a beach sounds great, but for the average American, planning for retirement can be a daunting task that many people put off for later. Never fear, your friendly retirement planner Troy Yeaple is here! In this episode of The Beef Podcast, we chat with Troy about his family-run retirement planning company, and he shares some motivating ways to get more bang for your hard-won buck during this time. Troy gives us actionable advice and top tips to securing your future so that your money kicks in at the right time, and highlights the common mistakes that people make. Many people are focused on growth and yield, but today we are warned against overlooking the importance of timing, and the 3 biggest drains: health, tax, and social security. Using simple language and real-world examples to walk us through what to expect during your golden years, he also talks us through his pressure-free process of meeting and helping clients. From the difference between a broker-dealer and an investment advisor, to the importance of getting the proper guidance for long-term planning, Troy is there to help you, no matter how little or much money you have to get started. All that he cares about is getting you started as soon as possible. I loved speaking to him today and learned so much, press play and join in this crucial conversation!
