secure act 2.0 yebu.com

As you may have heard, the Secure Act 2.0 contains more than 100 changes that could apply to you.

ChatGPT: A Clever Companion to Financial Planning?

The artificial intelligence chatbot that everyone is talking about, ChatGPT, continues to gain attention as people use it to compose essays, create apps, build resumes, write bedtime stories, ask for advice, and much, much more.

Word of the Week: Yield Curve

Word of the Week Yield Curve 3x2

In our recent webinar, we discussed the yield curve. We are currently experiencing what’s known as an inverted yield curve – the yield, or return, on shorter term bonds is higher than longer term bonds (when the curve is NOT inverted, the opposite is true). The shape of the yield curve contains information about expectations for the future. One of the things the inverted curve tells us is that bond investors are predicting that, in the future, interest rates will be lower than they are now (which also implies that inflation is going to be lower).
