Whether you are planning to retire someday, or find yourself already there, you know there’s lots of advice swirling around - some dangerous, some making outrageous claims. Where do you go? Who can you trust? How do you avoid the danger zone? Nancy Fleming with Fleming Financial Services features a weekly show that offers sound, practical solutions to these concerns and more. New episodes offered every Saturday.
We break down the importance of indexes, participation rates, and how advisors track these investments to ensure you're not falling for exaggerated claims. Many offers come with impressive-sounding participation rates, but the underlying data often tells a different story. We share how to evaluate these offers with a professional’s eye and explain why it's crucial to know the full details before making any decisions.
Additionally, we discuss how the financial stability of the company offering the annuity matters and why we only work with those we trust to keep their promises. If you're seeing an "amazing" offer in an ad, email, or seminar, don’t make a move until you talk to us first. We’re here to help you cut through the noise and make informed decisions that are right for your financial future.
Tune in for insights that can help you navigate the world of annuities and avoid falling for misleading gimmicks!

If you were given an inheritance, would you go ahead and spend it or find the best way to preserve it and make it last over a larger duration? We’ve found that there are two main types of money managers: those who choose to hold onto the money they have and others that are eager to spend it. These same principles apply to decisions about when to start taking Social Security.
Although the government incentivizes people to wait longer before claiming their benefits, many Americans still tap into Social Security as soon as they’re eligible. In fact, a recent study showed that most Americans are claiming Social Security at the wrong time, potentially losing out of tens of thousands of dollars.
So, when should you take Social Security? What are some best practices for doing so? This is a loaded question with many factors to consider. Join us as we discuss this topic and why it’s important to think about your life expectancy, health, and overall income picture before making the decision to take Social Security.
