On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian dig into Goldman Sachs’ bold prediction that the S&P 500 will hit 7,600 by 2026. But does this forecast actually mean anything for your financial plan? They explain why making decisions based on Wall Street predictions could derail your long-term goals. Plus, hear how high-net-worth investors can use strategies like direct indexing and buffered ETFs to protect against taxes and inflation. They also break down the looming tax impact of mutual fund capital gains distributions, how new credit card rules might hit your rewards, and why using your vacation days might be just as financially important as your investment decisions.
