New SCAM That s Draining Bank Accounts

✅Free Strategy Session ✅ https://www.foundryfinancial.org/reti...

We almost lost $50,000 — and the scariest part was how much they already knew about us.

Our phone, our email, our home address, our bank. All of it. And it nearly worked.

After that experience, I went deep on researching how scammers are getting so sophisticated, and what I found was unsettling.

So in this video, I'm breaking down exactly what happened to us, how scammers are getting your personal data, and four concrete steps you can take right now to protect yourself:

1. Freeze your credit at all three bureaus — it's free, it's easy, and it shuts down one of the most damaging things a scammer can do with your information.
2. Clean up your data trail — there are services built specifically to find where your personal information is listed and file removal requests on your behalf.
3. Lock down your Social Security account — and grab an IRS Identity Protection PIN while you're at it.
4. Build one habit that beats them all — this is the step that actually stopped the scam in our case, and it costs nothing.

If you're nearing retirement or already in it, this video is for you.

ABOUT ME

I’ve always been passionate about personal finance, investing, real estate, and helping people find the freedom to live their life with purpose. But when my dad died in 2015, I tried to help my Mom find an advisor to sort out her finances. Instead of a helping hand, I found an industry of financial advisors dominated by glorified salespeople working on commission — pushing products that were not in my mother’s best interest. Or advisors with minimums that shut-out all but the ultra wealthy. Disappointed with the options, I took matters into my own hands and launched Foundry Financial, a wealth management firm with transparent pricing that specializes in helping provide clarity around money — so you have the confidence to make smart decisions.My goal is to help a million people retire without worry!

📅 THE BASICS OF RETIREMENT PLANNING

Retirement planning has several steps, with the end goal of having enough money to quit working and do whatever you want. Our goal is to help people master retirement and retire without worry.

Step 1: Know when to start retirement planning. When should you start retirement planning? The earlier you start planning, the more time your money has to grow. That said, it’s never too late to start retirement planning. Even if you haven’t so much as considered retirement, don’t feel like your ship has sailed. Every dollar you can save now will be much appreciated later. Strategically investing could mean you won't be playing catch-up for long.

Step 2: Figure out how much money you need to retire, The amount of money you need to retire is a function of your current income and expenses, and how you think those expenses will change in retirement.

Step 3: Prioritize your financial goals. Retirement is probably not your only savings goal. Lots of people have financial goals they feel are more pressing, such as paying down credit card or student loan debt or building up an emergency fund.Generally, you should aim to save for retirement at the same time you're building your emergency fund — especially if you have an employer retirement plan that matches any portion of your contributions.

Step 4: Choose the best retirement plan for youA cornerstone of retirement planning is determining not only how much to save, but also asset allocation. It can make a massive difference in your retirement plan.

Step 5: Select your retirement investments. Retirement accounts provide access to a range of investments, including stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Determining the right mix of investments depends on how long you have until you need the money and how comfortable you are with risk. It’s often helpful to talk with an adviser to discover the right mix of stocks and bonds.
