In this episode, Mike McNamara, Ph.D., CFP®, offers an in-depth discussion on several financial topics. He defines what constitutes a true investment, contrasting it with speculative assets and illustrating his point with examples like farms and businesses. He then examines the current state of the US housing market, highlighting the affordability crisis stemming from increased prices, high mortgage rates, and limited inventory due to existing low-rate mortgages. Finally, the discussion shifts to retirement planning, addressing concerns about inflation, insufficient savings, and the significant costs of out-of-pocket healthcare and long-term care, while also cautioning against the complexities of relocating in retirement.
Michael J. McNamara, Ph.D., CFP®, is the Founder of McNamara Financial and a Certified Financial Planner. He’s semi-retired, and works with legacy clients and select others.
