Providence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroTariffs and Your Retirement: Navigating Economic UncertaintyIn this episode of the Providence Financial Retirement Show, we discuss the recent implementation of President Trump's tariffs and their potential impact on the economy and retirees. With tariffs reaching up to 145% on Chinese imports, consumers may face higher prices on everyday goods, from electronics to clothing. Anthony discusses how these tariffs, intended to protect domestic industries and influence trade negotiations, can lead to increased inflation and market volatility. For retirees on fixed incomes, this could mean a decrease in purchasing power and potential adjustments to retirement plans. The episode also explores strategies to mitigate...2025-05-1242 minProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroCertainties We Can Count on in an Uncertain WorldRetirement can be quite uncertain, and uncertainty creates stress. If you don't have a plan to save for #retirement, or have saved enough money but are afraid to spend it because you fear you'll run out -- that's stressful. We don't know when we're going to die, we don't know how high #taxes are going to go, we don't know where politics are headed or if Social Security will be around much longer. That's stressful.  Enter #investing for income -- how does it take the uncertainty out of retirement? We discuss 3 key points - listen in. 2023-05-0122 minProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroESG Investing, FedNow, FedcoinWhat is ESG investing? Put simply, it's "socially responsible investing". There are money managers who invest in companies that are deemed "socially responsible" and which do not harm the social environment. But ESG is more than not investing in companies you don't want to support; it has morphed into more of a political investing environment which is being used to push the leftist agenda.  ESG = Environmental Social Governance  Environmental - what kind of footprint does the company have, does it use toxic chemicals, does it make any sustainability efforts, does it promote green energy  S...2023-04-2722 minProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroReverse Dollar Cost Averaging DangersAre you driving the wrong way on a one-way street? Reverse dollar cost averaging is the equivalent of this when it comes to planning for retirement. Why? Because you're going in the wrong direction financially and that can be deadly for your portfolio. What is reverse dollar cost averaging? When you get to retirement, you're not putting money into your portfolio periodically anymore; you're actually doing the exact opposite. You're not buying shares - you're selling them, and by doing so you're driving the average share sales price lower.

Unfortunately, the answer is not as simple as one may hope. There is no silver bullet for a successful #retirement. The best answer I can give is, you have to know how to retire.

What are some of the myths some people believe when it comes to #investing for income in #retirement? In this show, we cover 3 of them:  Getting a higher average return is better than getting a lower steady return.

There are 3 main types of annuities: fixed variable indexed  In this show, we will focus on indexed #annuities as a viable retirement #investment vehicle in the right situation.

Personally I think this will take a couple of years and in the short run we can still expect high #inflation. How do you keep pace with it in the short run, and in the long run?  In the short run, the answer is simple: you don't. There's no #investment out there that's going to guarantee you a 6.4% return rate every year.

Throughout their entire life they had shrunk down their goals little by little to meet their income until they had completely lost their dreams. I spent almost the entire meeting showing them how they can build their dreams back up again because as it turns out they had plenty saved in order to create a comfortable #retirement income - they just didn't know how to do that.   Does this sound like you?

When you're in your 20s or 30s, it's all about the money. "We're never going to die" is the thought, so we're not giving time much thought. On the other hand, if you're over 65 and on the brink of retirement, is it more about the money or about the time? How many more go-go years do you have left before the slow-go and no-go years? Time becomes more important. What good is it to have a lot of money if you're too...2023-03-1622 minProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroStock Market CheerleadersRecently, I had the opportunity to be invited to participate in ringing the #ClosingBell at the New York Stock Exchange. Even though it was a big honor, I couldn't help but make the mental comparison between #stockbrokers and cheerleaders. When you think about cheerleaders, they root for their team no matter how the team is performing. They may be being clubbered by halftime but the cheerleaders keep going in order to try and keep the team's spirits up and the fans excited about the game (or they may not buy a ticket again).

It hurts, of course. If the market is down by 50%, you now have to sell twice as many shares as before and you're cannibalizing your portfolio even faster. Dollar cost averaging is a one way street. When the market is down 50% and you're buying stock, that works in your favor; but when you're selling shares, that hurts you. It's called reverse dollar cost averaging.  If you have 20 or 30 years ahead of you until #retirement, you should be invested a...2023-03-0923 minProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroHow to Create an Income You Can't OutliveHaving the right mindset when it comes to saving for #retirement is critical. For decades, you may have been focused on #investment growth with little regard for the possibility of losses. As you hedge closer to retirement, that can be a deadly strategy that you just can't get away with anymore.  The absolute key to security in retirement is #income. A steady, month after month, market-proof income that you can't outlive. How do you create that?

What exactly is investing for income, and why is it superior to investing for growth - especially when the #stockmarket is in a downward trend and accounts are losing value?  When you're invested for growth, it's all about the share price; if your balance goes up, then you win; if it goes down, then you lose; the whole point is that, a few decades down the road, your balance is hopefully larger than you s...2023-03-0218 minProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroProvidence Financial Retirement Show with Anthony SaccaroShould I Sell My Stocks?For the last year, the number 1 concern on people's minds has been #inflation. It's important that an economy has some inflation, but you don't want it to be too high. However, you don't want it to be too low either. Somewhere around 2%-3% is good. But inflation has crept up to the mid 6% which is way too high. In this economic environment, I often get asked these 2 questions:  - should I sell my #stocks?  - should I buy a #CD?
