Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial

On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian are joined by Allworth CIO Andy Stout to preview the Federal Reserve’s final meeting of the year. With a rate cut all but guaranteed, what really matters is how Jerome Powell sets expectations for early 2026—and how a divided Fed committee might shape the path ahead. Andy unpacks what high-net-worth investors need to watch in the upcoming dot plot and why rebalancing your portfolio now could be crucial. Then, Bob and Brian dig into why more than 70% of millionaires don’t feel wealthy—and how to shift your mindset (and your plan) to regain confidence. They also reveal the three costly financial gaps that can hit if you retire before 65. And in the listener mailbag: mutual funds vs. ETFs in retirement accounts, understanding real bond yields, and how to handle today’s top-heavy S&P 500.
