Marc and Marion are back in action for this week’s Dollars & Sense video podcast. It’s been a jam packed few weeks –everyone hopefully filed their taxes, school was out this past week for Spring Break, the Boston Marathon was on Monday, the Red Sox lost another game, and we’ve enjoyed some really nice spring weather!
Tax season has finally wrapped up. Our team received a lot of calls with a similar tax question this year… *drum roll*….

Who’s to blame for the hike in what you owe? You may think it’s your accountant’s fault, but we have to say, that’s rarely the case.

03-29-2024 Dollars & Sense, What Are Your Expectations in Retirement?
Wednesday Mar 27, 2024
Wednesday Mar 27, 2024
It’s no secret that retirement and expectations surrounding it have changed a lot over the years. Marion’s grandfather was one of the first to pay into social security when it came about during his working years. At the time, you could start collecting at the retirement age of 65 with the expectation that you wouldn’t live much longer since that was the life expectancy back then. It’s crazy to think how much things have changed over the last 90 years. Nowadays, people are still expecting to retire at age 65…but is that realistic?
Tune in to this week’s episode of Dollars & Sense as Marc and Marion talk about retirement expectations in today’s day and age, all in a language you can understand.

03-21-2024 Dollars & Sense, How Acting as a Fiduciary Benefits You
Wednesday Mar 20, 2024
Wednesday Mar 20, 2024
If you’re looking for financial advice in a language you can understand, then Dollars & Sense is the perfect podcast for you.
It’s always interesting to us how many folks think that a financial advisor primarily talks about how best to invest your money. We’re here to bust that myth because that’s not really what we do at Freedman Financial. Now don’t get us wrong, we do invest money, and might we add, we pay close attention to what we invest that money in. However, that is not the main focus of our conversations with clients because we like to take a much more holistic view of your life and your financial situation.
Tune in to this week’s episode of Dollars & Sense as Marc and Marion talk about how acting as a fiduciary can benefit you, all in a language you can understand.
