Quick Hits: Debt Fixer | Dangerous Cash Apps | Bear Market? 

Things seem to be looking (a little) up with the first non-hike in rates we’ve seen and inflation starting to come down a little, but consumer sentiment is still hovering around the all-time lows.

What does that mean?

Retirees are still unsure of what to do with their money.

Selling to a plan is ok, but in this environment, they need to know what to take action on right now.

Give free advice, tell them what little actions they should be doing right now. What could they be going home and doing right after hearing your radio show or coming to your seminar?

Pick a side, have an opinion, give advice, it’s ok to give it away for free sometimes!

If they take your advice and it works, they’ll be calling you!

Have a great week!
