Daniel Prevett of Stirlingshire addresses some financial planning myths with us.
-Taking your Social security at the youngest eligible age is actually not the best. The amount goes up 8% every year you wait.
-It is not too late to start investing. Some 401ks have catch-up provisions.
-Assuming your family will figure out what to do with your money after you're gone isn't wise. have a written plan.

Daniel would be glad to help you plan for your best retirement. You can also check out his new podcast "After the Beep" at this link https://open.spotify.com/show/0345piyuGgDy38IIEzjyTL?si=fvJDp1W7QTiy-T8aStHMZw&utm_source=copy-link&sci=spotify%3Acard-config%3A5ULGIpjLoFdb0RsikCRgWP
