On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian break down the key life moments when calling your financial advisor can make—or cost—you thousands. They also tackle a surprising trend: why retirees with millions saved still feel financially insecure, and how shifting from pension-style income to managing a “pile of money” has changed everything. Plus, insights from CIO Andy Stout on how tax-efficient investing strategies like tax loss harvesting and direct indexing can add real after-tax returns, and practical advice on gifting strategies, insurance gaps, and why not having a power of attorney could create major problems for your family.
