EP 116 | Rising National Debt and Social Security

This week’s episode of Investing Simplified focused heavily on tax planning, the challenges of increasing government spending, and strategies for future-proofing retirement income. Bo Caldwell led a discussion on how rising national debt and evolving tax laws may impact Social Security benefits and personal tax burdens in the years ahead, emphasizing the importance of tax diversification in retirement portfolios. The team highlighted that while tax-deferred accounts are widely used, understanding how to balance taxable, tax-free, and capital gains income is crucial to minimize future liabilities.

The show also welcomed mortgage specialist Chris Zenner to explore options for homeowners considering renovations, construction, or transitioning to new properties amid higher interest rates. Throughout the episode, the hosts reinforced the need for detailed financial planning—from budgeting and setting realistic retirement goals to navigating home financing and estate strategies—urging listeners to seek personalized advice to maximize financial confidence and readiness for life’s uncertainties.
