Well, it's been a few weeks now since we've switched back to our original show format. For those who are new, that means we're recording a weekly episode that runs about an hour. This was requested by some in our audience and we aim to please. However, we would like to hear from more of the people who listen to our show and get some ideas around topics that you'd like for us to discuss.

As you can probably tell by now, we are more than capable of talking about things that WE are interested in but we'd much prefer to talk about things that will really help those in our audience. That being said, if you have a question, comment or suggestion–please reach out to us, we are open and willing to entertain discussion on just about anything in the world of finance.

If you've ever been in a position where you were responsible for creating content for a website, blog, newsletter, podcast, radio show or video, then you know how much of a struggle it can be to sometimes to find interesting subject matter to discuss. Particularly when you've been at it for a little over three years and you know that you've gotta come up with something at least once a week.

If you've never heard us in this type of podcast, you're in for a treat.

There seems to be an eternal debate that persists regarding whole life insurance and universal life insurance. Agents, insurance companies and some consumers that sit on either site of the argument will swear that one is definitely better than the other.

In our experience, most whole life insurance hacks will point at poorly designed universal life insurance policies that were sold in the 1980's as an example of why the product (UL) doesn't work. They will claim that the policies will leave people needing to make large additional premium payments as they age to keep the policies in force.

I'm sure that the title of today's financial procast will cause some of you to wonder if we've just completely lost it. Well, there's certainly an argument for that, however, we just figured that we would agree with all the people out there that actually believe that statement.

Retirement income planning is indeed one of those topics that we've discussed on a few different occasions or probably more than just a few actually. But it's one of those topics that has a great deal of nuance.
