What's the Future of Social Security Under the New Administration? - 521

What does the future hold for your Social Security under the new Trump administration and Elon Musk's DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency? Nationally-renowned financial thought leaders Jamie Hopkins, Jeff Levine, Eric Ludwig, and Steve Parrish share their insights with Big Al Clopine, CPA at the American College of Financial Services' Horizons Conference in San Diego, CA on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast 521. First, the College's President, George Nichols, gives a brief overview of the institution and their inaugural conference.

Plus, Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al spitball on whether Ricky and Lucy in Wisconsin even bother saving for retirement - they're expecting to inherit about 20 million dollars. When should Tybob in Arizona collect Social Security? Are Roth conversions right for him? Should he go for Medicare or Medicare Advantage? Speedy Racer in Georgia needs a retirement spitball, and Gilligan in New York shares insight for other Gilligans trying to avoid a retirement shipwreck.
