Preparing for Retirement’s Most Expensive “What If”
The “Henssler Money Talks” hosts tackle one of retirement’s biggest financial unknowns: long-term care. With care costs capable of disrupting even well-funded retirement plans, we’ll discuss the planning options available — from traditional long-term care insurance and hybrid policies to self-insuring — and explain how cash flow projections and scenario analysis can help families make informed decisions before a health event turns into a financial crisis.
Henssler Money Talks - July 4, 2026
Midyear Market Scorecard
The first half of 2026 delivered no shortage of surprises, from shifting market leadership and strong corporate earnings to geopolitical headlines that tested investor nerves. Research Analyst Nick Antonucci is back from paternity leave to break down which sectors and asset classes performed well and those that didn't, what investors should be watching in the second half of the year, and why a disciplined investment strategy matters more than reacting to the latest headlines.
Frugal or Fireworks?
From packed airports and crowded highways to backyard barbecues and fireworks displays, the Fourth of July is one of America's biggest weekends for travel, cookouts, fireworks, and spending.
We'll look at how one holiday weekend offers an early read on consumer confidence and the state of the economy.
Social Security: File Early, File Late, or File Smart?
For many retirees, the question starts with, “When should I claim Social Security?” But the better question may be, “How does Social Security fit into my overall retirement income strategy?” We'll explore the breakeven analysis, spousal and survivor benefits, and how claiming decisions interact with your investment portfolio and withdrawal plan. Through real-world scenarios we'll discuss how the right answer often depends less on finding the "perfect" claiming age and more on coordinating Social Security with the rest of your retirement resources.
We discuss financial planning encompassing spending, saving, taxes, investments, insurance, retirement, estate plans, and more.
