    Many young adults recognize the value of early saving and investing long-term. But with 61% of this age group now trusting social media "finfluencers" for investing tips, it’s more important than ever to distinguish between sound financial advice and sales pitches pushing “get rich” ripoffs and worse - conflating gambling with real investing. Also today - Clark shares a recent story of a retired lawyer who lost $85,000 to scammers posing as Microsoft security, only to have his bank deny a refund. Con artists continue their rampant looting unabated, with ever increasing sophistication, and no one is immune. BUT, there are tells.

    01.27.26 Ask An Advisor With Wes Moss
    Jan 27 2026
    Is the Middle Class Shrinking? & the Quiet Power of Dividend Growth The middle class is shrinking — but perhaps not for the reason you’ve been told. While headlines often paint a bleak picture of economic decline, the underlying data reveals a much more complex and surprising transformation. Wes Moss dives into the "missing" middle class, using recent data to uncover where those families have actually gone since 1979. Also, Wes pulls back the curtain on a hidden force in the stock market: the math of dividend durability. While many investors are distracted by flashy price targets, they are overlooking a component that has historically accounted for over a third of the market's total return. Wes breaks down why a company’s dividend policy is one of the most reliable signals of financial strength and how the "quiet persistence" of dividend growth has consistently outpaced inflation for over sixty years. Mentioned on the show: Fee Only Network - Find A Financial Advisor What Is a Fiduciary Financial Advisor and Do I Need One? How To Find and Choose a Financial Advisor Retirement Calculator Plus, Christa shares your #AskWes questions and Wes gives his take.
