Summary
This week on Street Tales, CFP® Brandon Ngai joins us for a powerful and practical conversation on retirement planning tailored specifically for first responders and public servants. From understanding how pensions fit into your long-term strategy to breaking down Roth vs. traditional tax options, Brandon walks us through the financial building blocks that can protect your future. We cover essential topics like insurance planning, HSAs, emergency funds, investment fundamentals, and smart catch-up strategies for those getting a later start. We also dive into the behavioral side of money — how to think about spending in retirement, distribution planning, choosing the right financial advisor, and making sure your family is protected no matter what the future holds. If you wear the badge or serve your community, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
