Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial

On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian break down the Fed's latest interest rate cut—what it means for mortgages, savings rates, and why younger homebuyers may still feel squeezed. Then, they dive into a critical end-of-year financial planning reminder: take your required minimum distributions (RMDs) by December 31st or risk a 25% IRS penalty. They also tackle a headline-grabbing claim that passive investing is “worse than Marxism” and explain what’s really at stake for your portfolio. Plus, the Better Business Bureau joins to spotlight the biggest holiday scams of 2025, and the guys answer listener questions about tax alpha, benchmarks, and how to unwind capital gains the smart way.
