What’s Really Moving The Market

Markets, headlines, tariffs, taxes—and even birthday shout-outs? This week’s episode of the WWM Financial Podcast covers it all with a perfect blend of sharp insights and a splash of humor.

The team breaks down what’s really driving the market: earnings surprises, interest rate speculation, and the surprisingly sunny effects of tariffs. Is the bull market running on fumes, or are we in a summer lull? Should investors brace for a pullback—or buy the dip?

They also dive deep into the tax planning topic on everyone’s radar: Roth conversions—who should consider them and when timing matters most. Plus, they discuss the often-overlooked impact of IRMAA surcharges and how smart planning can help clients avoid Medicare premium surprises.

And don’t miss the sneak peek at the upcoming August 26 webinar: “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” Yes, that’s what they’re calling it—and no, it’s not the real name. But trust us, it matters.

🎧 Tune in for:

  • Sector standouts & market momentum

  • Goldilocks economy or summer mirage?

  • AI, ETFs, and why ChatGPT is now a financial planner’s best friend

👉 Stay informed. Stay invested. And stay tuned for next week’s episode!

Should You Pay Off Your Mortgage? The Surprising Truth

It’s the classic retirement question: Should you pay off your house? In this lively episode, Catherine, Steve, Rachel, and Greg unpack why this isn’t such a simple decision — and why the “peace of mind” that comes from being mortgage-free might come at a big financial cost. From low-interest-rate mortgages that can actually work in your favor, to the hidden downsides of tying up all your money in real estate, the team shares real-life client stories and eye-opening advice. Learn how a house can be a hedge against inflation, why liquidity matters, and how to avoid the trap of thinking “my home is my retirement plan.” If you’ve ever wondered whether doubling up on payments or raiding your 401(k) to pay off the house is a smart move, this episode is for you. Tune in for thoughtful, entertaining, and sometimes contrarian insights that just might change the way you think about your biggest asset.
