Season 6 Episode 1: Navigating Non-Traditional Financial Planning Tools

September 13, 2024

People often research financial products after hearing about them through various channels, but they may be swayed by either overly positive or negative information. This can lead to risky decisions, as news often highlights sensational or negative stories to attract readers and sell ads.


Algorithms amplify confirmation bias by continuously showing users articles that align with their previous clicks, which is why we advocate for principles-based financial planning—principles remain constant even as products and industry trends evolve.


While products and industry trends may change, principles remain constant, and we’ve emphasized these principles throughout our previous podcast episodes.



  • No Investment Decisions Outside the Context of the Plan
  • The Plan Determines the Products
  • Don’t Let Your Portfolio Take a H.I.T. (health care, inflation, and taxes)
  • Protect the Income; Grow the Rest
  • Financial Peace Comes from Having a Plan

For clients of Wise Wealth, we provide continued education, and we were thrilled to host our Summer Education Series. This year’s theme, “Non-Traditional Investment, Income, and Inheritance Options,” which sparked many engaging discussions.



  • A Beneficiary Liquidity Plan Including Life Insurance Living Benefits
  • Housing Wealth Including Reverse Mortgages
  • Understanding the Basics of Blockchain Technology and the Investment Opportunity for Digital Assets

We’re focusing on non-traditional financial methods this season, including reverse mortgages, beneficiary liquidity planning, and digital assets, and we’ll be discussing these topics in upcoming podcast episodes. Understanding your options can help you find the best fit for your individual needs.


Having a plan is crucial because it allows for a thoughtful evaluation of various financial options, ensuring that each choice aligns with individual goals and needs. As fiduciaries, we are committed to presenting unbiased, well-researched information on diverse financial topics to help clients make informed decisions within the context of a comprehensive plan.


If you’re not a client of Weiss Wealth and lack a personalized financial plan, we offer a clarity conversation to help you get started. You can reach out via email, phone, or by taking our online quiz for a free copy of our updated book, “Simplify Your Retirement.” Our goal is to simplify your retirement planning so you can fully enjoy life. Thank you for joining us as we kick off the sixth season of our podcast!
