Review: Kitces.com Member Section for Continuing Education (CE) Credit for Financial Advisors

June 15, 2020 By Jon Luskin 2 Comments

In a pre-pandemic world, continuing education (CE) credits were easy to acquire. If you attend enough events, conferences, etc., it was impossible to not collect sufficient CE to renew your various certifications.

Credit Risk for Interest Rate Risk

May 5, 2020 By Jon Luskin 1 Comment

I gave a listen to a recent episode of the Stay Wealthy podcast. Investment manager Cullen Roche was the guest for the episode. In the episode, (if I understand his argument correctly) Cullen suggests short-term corporate bonds for one’s fixed income portfolio. He argues that Treasury bonds are currently paying too little to merit the […]

Don’t Buy a House; Take a Sabbatical Instead

April 3, 2020 By Jon Luskin Leave a Comment

I’m writing this just a few feet from the beach – from the comfort our little self-converted recreational vehicle (RV). This is roughly our seventh month on the road – and almost one year since I’ve left the office. As I’ve enjoyed learning a whole new skillset in the van-building process (electronic schematics, electrical soldering), […]

The Cruel Math of Inflation on Stagnant Wage Growth for Late-Stage Earners

January 25, 2019 By Jon Luskin 2 Comments

I’ve come across two distinct clients recently who were experiencing identical issues. Both clients were single women on the cusp of retirement. And, as with almost every middle-class American, these two distinct clients faced an identical situation: They had not saved enough money. The simple (obvious?) solution to their savings shortfall was to downgrade their […]
