Excuse me while I take a few minutes to vent. Am I the only one triggered by Biden's student loan forgiveness plan and other financial breaks that the rest of us tax-paying citizens have to pay for? I break down how these policies are actually unfair and stick it to responsible people who play by the rules. But hey, listen in and let me know your thoughts too and maybe we can start ranting together. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/

Look folks, let's get real here - returning that $150 from your $300 Amazon splurge doesn't mean you "made $150." No matter how you spin the math, it's not true wealth creation. The slow and boring path wins the race towards financial freedom: spend less than your income, then let compound interest work its magic through smart, straightforward investments. Forget the too-good-to-be-true schemes plastered all over TikTok. Stick with me and my "snore-fest" money advice. While it may not wow the social media crowd, consistently following these fundamentals will grow your wealth steadily and sustainably over time. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/po

Planning for retirement encompasses so much more than just building a nest egg. Don't get me wrong, ensuring you've got the finances is crucial—no one dreams of a "beans and rice" retirement—but let's talk about the other, often overlooked, side of retiring, actually living your life. Many waltz into my office dreaming of back-to-back trips post-retirement. While that's exciting, it brings up a crucial question: What will you do with the 43 weeks left in the year? Travel is a small part of your retirement experience, not a full-time plan. Diving into this phase of your life without a comprehensive strategy is like setting sail without a compass. Let's chart a course for a fulfilling retired life! ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.

Sick of hearing people complain about money but never make a change? I'm challenging you to stop whining and take action. In this week's video, I share why it's important to turn off Netflix, put down your phone, and start building the supplemental income stream you've always dreamed about. You CAN reinvent yourself financially - if you're willing to put in the effort. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/ _________________________________

This week I'm sharing a story that explains exactly why it's so important to figure out if an investment is suitable for your personal financial situation before jumping in. Even if it looks great on paper, the same opportunity can be either a bonanza or a disaster depending on your age, net worth, income needs, and risk tolerance. I’ll walk through a real case where the same real estate deal was a phenomenal fit for one woman but threatened the retirement lifestyle of her parents. Understanding how to match investments to your personal financial profile is key to building wealth sensibly over time. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aa

Despite the stir caused by Moody's recent cut to Israel's credit rating, let me show you why it's not as dire as it seems. On today's show, I'll explain why I believe Israel is on its way to an economic boom. With pent-up consumer demand, upcoming interest rate cuts, and a potential real estate surge, I'm bullish on Israel's future! ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ________________________________________________________________ VISIT MY WEBSITE: Website: https://www.aaronkatsman.com/ _______________________________________________________________

Recently, I came across a blog that I found incredibly problematic - one that viewed children solely as financial burdens. While budgeting for additional expenses is reasonable, the prevailing attitude that kids will "ruin retirement plans" or prevent early retirement is sadly misguided. There's more to life than accumulating wealth or retiring early. Children represent the continuity of the human race and provide priceless rewards. So while kids certainly require financial responsibility, don't begrudge the costs. Instead, focus on embracing the joys of parenting, building family legacies, and contributing to society's greater good. The ironic truth is those who narrowly fixate on children's monetary impacts often miss out on life's most rewarding investments. Check out this week's video for more on this important topic. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-655044

Doctors may have a reputation for being bad with money, but it's not entirely their fault. After a decade of post-grad education, they emerge riddled with student debt to the point where they feel like debt is the norm. Still, they aren't hopeless cases! In this video, I have a real talk with a doctor friend about the common money mistakes those in the medical field tend to make, like failing to budget and buying luxury items they can't yet afford. But I make the case that if this group of otherwise smart professionals can master complex skills like surgery, they are equally capable of learning personal finance basics. And if they can break their bad habits, so can you! ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-k

What does it mean to be a millionaire? Nope! You don't need a million-dollar paycheck to get there. In this video I break down how anyone, even with the most modest income, can actually attain millionaire status over time. The bad news? I'm not going to share the latest "get rich quick" scheme or what the hottest TikTok investor is raving about right now. The truth is it just takes investing, saving, and building assets over time. I share some “boring” money steps that anyone can start taking no matter what they earn. If you can resist trying to outsmart the system and trust the process, you too can reach millionaire status. Who says you can’t become wealthy these days? Let's dive in! ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-sh

Can you believe it's been over two years since the market hit an all-time high? I'm absolutely dumbfounded by this fun fact ... cue the dramatic eye roll. As riveting as this statistic is, it's essentially meaningless for investors with their eyes on the long-term prize. I know it seems crazy that stocks have just been treading water at roughly the same levels for over two years now. But unless you own a magical crystal ball, trying to perfectly time market peaks and corrections is nothing more than a guessing game. Jumping in and out of the market based on short-term fluctuations is an amateur move that often backfires spectacularly. So relax and take a deep breath. Stay focused on your long-term goals and keep making regular contributions to your investment accounts. Consistency and discipline are the keys to success! ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550

After a recent client meeting, I felt compelled to share with you the risks of having all your eggs in one basket - or rather - owning just one hot stock as your complete investment plan. I know we all get that itch to double down on winners, but as I have seen many times, letting one stock take over your portfolio can leave your finances scrambled like a bad omelet when that stock comes crashing down. I'm not saying we CAN'T make good money in hot stocks, but decades of data show diversification pays off in the long run. I want us all to profit from the wisdom of experience, not repeat mistakes of the past. So before you bet the house on the "next Amazon," think hard about whether you can stomach a 90% drop. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podc

Oh sure, you just know you're gonna be the one to pick the next Amazon or Apple and crush the returns of the silly S&P 500 - I mean, how hard can it be? Trying to beat the market by picking winning stocks is incredibly hard, even for top financial professionals. The statistics show it's virtually impossible for regular investors to do better than index funds over the long run. Investing should not be about quick wins - it's about informed, strategic choices. As much as we love an underdog story, the data doesn't lie. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ___________________________________________

Today we're talking all about stock market predictions—especially the doomsday ones. It is my strong belief that investing shouldn't be about chasing quick gains through speculation or that we should wait for years to invest out of fear of a supposed crash. Ten years of waiting for a market crash that doesn't happen means ten years of missed opportunities! Across decades, staying the course through market drops has paid off. Turn down the media noise, keep a steady hand, and invest in line with your long-term goals. That’s where the magic happens. ________________________________________________________________ SOCIAL LINKS: Facebook: www.facebook.com/AaronKatsmanLC/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-katsman-6550441/ ________________________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show/id1192234142 Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-aaron-katsman-show Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/1lePc1pC0giBFV1nzCGsQR ___________

Now is the time to take control of our financial situation and not when we turn 70.

As we gear up for the festival of lights, let us not only look forward to delicious donuts (or raw broccoli for the health-conscious amongst us) but also seize this golden opportunity to offer an enriching educational journey for our children, one that weaves our cultural heritage with financial skills. Let's light up the Hanukiah, and also, the minds of our young ones. Happy Hanukkah!
