Gregory Ricks takes a close look at the Social Security Fairness Act and what its recent passage means for both government employees and the future of Social Security itself. Using real-world examples, he breaks down why repealing the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) could lead to unintended — and unfair — financial consequences for American taxpayers. Gregory also shares insights from Harvard Business School's Arthur Brooks about two common financial mistakes that can derail your financial goals: normalizing debt and confusing spending with happiness. Whether you're preparing for retirement or just trying to stay on track with your money in 2025, this episode will give you important updates, critical advice, and steps to protect your future.
