On today's show, I am sharing with you how easy it is to transfer your brokerage account. If you are a US citizen who has made aliyah, it is not uncommon to receive a letter informing you that your broker is unable to serve you anymore. Not only is it VERY simple to transfer your account to a new firm, but it can cost you big time if you take your friends' advice or crowdsource. Go directly to a financial professional to sort this out! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AaronKatsman LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ---------

Repeat after me, "I will not blindly listen to free financial advice!" We're talking advice like "oh, the market is down you shouldn't do _______" or "you got that much money in your settlement? you should do _________." Unless this money wizard friend of yours is willing to put their money where their mouth is and pay you back if their advice does not pan out, it is always best to avoid cookie-cutter advice. Get your advice from someone who will look at your unique situation through a holistic lens. Let's talk! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AaronKatsman LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsm

I see this time and time again: people counting down the days until their retirement only to realize that "travel" is not a full-time retirement plan. Now is the time to actually think about what you want to do to fill up your time in retirement. What will your day-to-day look like? Which friends do you want to spend time with? How often do you want to be with family? Are you going to volunteer? Work part-time? How often do you want to travel? The possibilities are endless!
