You’ve diligently saved and invested. You’ve taken careful care of your money, and you’re now ready to enjoy your golden years…but your tax situation isn’t what you’d expected and now you have a whole lot less money than you’d hoped. That’s the situation that today’s guest is hoping to help you eliminate by taking taxes out of the savings equation as much as possible. Coming down to the basement today we welcome the author of the bestselling book The Power of Zero, David McKnight.
PLUS, in our headlines segment, one company is upping the credit card rewards game. Is it worth jumping on board? We’ll share our thought on that, along with the details of the 2018 TIAA Plan Sponsor Survey results. What are employees looking for from their employer when it comes to saving for retirement goals? We’ll dive into the results and maybe find some common ground between employers and employers today.
Of course we’ll still have time to answer Doug’s trivia question, plus tackle a Haven Life Line letter and more, on today’s show.

Need life insurance? You could be insured in 20 minutes or less and build your family’s safety net for the future. Use StackingBenjamins.com/HavenLife to calculate how much you need and apply.
- The Haven Life Line is empty! But don’t fret, we’re still going to answer Leo’s (written) question: Leo’s parents bought him a permanent life insurance policy when he was kid. Now that he has his own wife and kid, should he keep the permeant life insurance, or open term insurance for a potentially better payout in the case it’s needed?
