We hear a lot of half-truths in the financial world, not necessarily because people try to make misleading statements, but because sometimes a simple statement just doesn’t quite tell the whole story. These statements may sound correct on the surface but they just don't tell the whole story.

On this episode, we’ll dive into the importance of understanding fees, the complexities of mortgage decisions, and why simply matching your employer's 401(k) contributions might not be enough. Wade also explains why having a retirement plan is crucial, even if you plan to work during retirement, and the limitations of relying solely on Medicare and Social Security.
We’ll cover a wide range of retirement planning topics today and hopefully clear up some of the gray area to help you make more informed decisions.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

• Why fees in your portfolio might not be as low as you think.
• Is it better to pay off your mortgage early or invest that money?
• Why diversification isn’t THE key to retirement planning.
