This week’s episode of “Investing Simplified” with Matt Sudol and Matt Mai focused on helping listeners navigate the current economic landscape, tax changes, and financial planning strategies. The hosts discussed significant recent events, including the ongoing U.S. government shutdown and its effects on travel and benefits, rumors of potential stimulus rebates, and the upcoming Oregon “kicker” refund for state taxpayers. They also tackled various home finance topics, such as the pros and cons of a proposed 50-year mortgage, affordability challenges in real estate, and the impact of Federal Reserve interest rate decisions.

In the latter part of the show, attention shifted to practical tax and retirement savings strategies, clarifying the differences between Roth and traditional IRAs, income limitations, and 401(k) contribution rules. Their guest, Ryan from E-Legacy Law, shared advice on overcoming common obstacles to estate planning, including time constraints, fear, denial, indecisiveness, and concerns over cost.
