Trump's Tariff Turbulence

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I'm your host and guide, Ashley Micciche.

I'm a financial advisor and co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, a fee-only fiduciary financial advisory practice managing over $425M in assets. For 17 years, I've helped hundreds retire with confidence.

My goal on this podcast is to simplify the complexities of retirement planning so you can focus on what truly matters—enjoying your retirement years while maintaining financial security.

I was originally planning to talk about financial scams this week and how to spot and prevent them, especially in the new world of AI. But then as I was getting ready to record, the stock market went into a total meltdown over Trump's tariffs.

No doubt if you've been following the news that this has been on your mind. Regardless of political leanings, my clients have been nervous about what the impact of tariffs will be on the economy and their portfolios.

So this week, I'll help you digest the tariffs and together we'll try to make sense of what that means and what you may want to do about it.
