| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Aston Dancer. |
| 0:06.2 | Our six-week advice column show here on the Financial Diet with me, Chelsea Fagan, your girl, |
| 0:13.3 | and dear friend, personal finance icon, a staple of the genre, |
| 0:18.4 | Aaron Lowry, aka Rook Millennial. |
| 0:20.8 | I just feel like the title just keeps me bigger and grander every episode. |
| 0:24.0 | It's so exciting. |
| 0:25.0 | Anyway, so this is a six-week series where you guys write in all of your questions about various |
| 0:29.8 | financial topics and we clump them into vaguely related categories and then we answer them. |
| 0:36.6 | Today we are talking about investing and retirement. |
| 0:39.2 | One of the more popular subjects, I must say, it was definitely a frequent theme here, |
| 0:44.7 | both from the actual strategy of investing and the sort of existential dread of, |
| 0:49.2 | is anyone ever going to retire? |
| 0:50.6 | What is the world even going to be like when I'm of retirement age? |
| 0:53.1 | So we'll tackle both. |
| 0:54.5 | But before we get started, I wanted to start as always by saying a huge thank you to our partner on this series, |
| 0:59.6 | advisor.com. |
| 1:00.9 | Uh, for those who don't know, advisor.com is a financial advisory service that offers a flat fee model to |
| 1:06.9 | their clients, which we really support and endorse here at TFD because it not only means that they work for their clients and not for commissions, but it adds a level of transparency and accessibility to financial advising. |
| 1:17.8 | I'm someone who's been working with an advisor for years now, and before doing it, I always assumed that you had to be already quite wealthy in order to justify or pay for a financial advisor. Turns out not the case, especially when you're working with a firm like advisor.com. We've worked with them for years, endorse them. They're a great company, great advisors, uh, and actually we do a lot of, uh, free workshops with them. So keep your eyes peeled for that if you want to just drop in and learn. But if you've ever been thinking about potentially working with a financial advisor, |
| 1:46.0 | click the link in our description. You can set up a free call with them. You can ask them basically whatever questions you have and just kind of get a vibe off of what it's like to work with a planner. And for being a member of the TFD community, you get an exclusive discount on your first year of working with them. So check it out. |
