Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Kimberly Clouse discuss the following:

  • What general suggestions do you have?
  • Let’s focus on the 1st one.  Determining your goals.
  • Any common “missed opportunities” with IRAs?
  • The third “do” – be sure to disinherit your ex-spouse – caught my attention.  Tell me more about that.
  • Now that we’ve covered some “dos”, let’s talk about some “don’ts”.
  • Any other “don’ts”?

TIP:  Find a financial advisor with experience working with divorced clients

Be sure to find a financial professional with expertise and experience working with people who are divorced. The financial needs of divorced people are different from those of a married couple, and you will be best served by an advisor who understands and appreciates those differences, and knows how to invest on their behalf.

Retirement planning is always important, but it can be even more important and time-sensitive after a divorce. Take care of yourself, your future, and be sure to “put your own oxygen mask on first” before too much else happens.
