I discuss the American Opportunity Tax Credit, avoiding taxes on social security and the death of traditional retirement planning

I express my frustration over parents who sacrifice their retirement plan due to college costs and the lack of wage inflation among the middle class. I then talk about the American Opportunity Tax Credit which can shave $10,000 off the cost of a college education, explaining where to find more information and who is eligible. Other topics include:

• Fatal flaws that caused the death of traditional retirement planning
• Listener Charles emails regarding a misleading annuity offer assuming a 5.2% rate of return
• How to avoid taxes on social security
• Dividend achiever stocks
• Insurance mistakes
