On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian unpack a surprisingly low inflation report and what 2.6% core inflation means for your money and the Fed’s next move. They break down JPMorgan’s solid earnings and what it signals for the economy and markets, especially for high-net-worth investors. Plus, the FIRE (Financially Independent Retire Early) movement is evolving—today’s version is less extreme and more realistic for families seeking balance and flexibility. Listener questions cover messy retirement cash flow, how to define real portfolio resilience, and whether an LLC is a smart move for vacation property owners.
