Company Announcements
NEW YORK , Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Ed Slott, CPA, nationally recognized IRA Expert, founder of Ed Slott and Company, LLC and creator of irahelp.com, in collaboration with Jeffrey Levine, CFP®, CPA, PFS, CWS®, AIF®, chief planning officer for Buckingham Strategic Wealth, announce the launch of their new podcast show, The Great Retirement Debate. Each week, Slott and Levine provide lively commentary as they argue an opposing side of a retirement planning topic or strategy. Episodes drop every Thursday, beginning November 10, 2022, and are available on all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple, Stitcher, and Amazon.
“This isn’t another one of those personal finance advice-type podcasts. Our goal is to debate the merit of both sides of the retirement planning coin to give listeners the pros and cons of the latest planning strategies,” said Ed Slott, CPA, America’s IRA Expert, founder of Ed Slott and Company, LLC and creator of irahelp.com. “We’re not looking to change anyone’s mind or sway opinions. Instead, we’d rather provide listeners with thorough, accurate and applicable information, delivered in a thoughtful and entertaining way, that helps them keep more of their hard-earned money.”
Slott and Levine created The Great Retirement Debate podcast with the objective of educating listeners on the various points to consider when making a financial decision for retirement. Each week, they debate the advantages and disadvantages of a particular retirement strategy or topic. At the start of each show, the flip of a coin determines which side of the strategy each will argue, regardless of whether or not it’s their position on the subject matter. The topics covered apply to those in or near retirement and beneficiaries who will inherit retirement assets in the future.
“Our goal by the end of each episode is to have one clear winner—the listener. With a broader perspective on what to consider and why it’s important, more informed financial decisions can be made, and ultimately better decisions lead to better outcomes,” said Jeffrey Levine, CFP®, CPA, PFS, CWS®, AIF®, Chief Planning Officer for Buckingham Strategic Wealth. “We want listeners to apply the merits of each side of the debate to their own personal situation and decide what’s best for them and their family.”
Upcoming podcast episode topics include:
Episode 1: “Should I Take Social Security at Age 62?”
Episode 2: “Trusts as a Beneficiary”
Episode 3: “Should I Take the Pension Lump Sum or Annuity Income Stream?”
Episode 4: “Should I Buy Long-Term Care Insurance or Self Fund?”
Episode 5: “Should I Use a Roth IRA or a Life Insurance to Provide a Legacy?”
Episode 6: “Should I Pay Off Debt Before I Retire?”
