## Resource

Richard Rosso & Jonathan McCarty explore some of the biggest retirement and investing questions facing Americans today. We examine how SECURE Act 2.0 is accelerating the "Rothification" of retirement savings, why catch-up Roth contributions remain a powerful planning tool, and what investors need to know about employer Roth matching and the long-term tax implications. We also tackle one of the hottest debates in retirement planning: Are dividend stocks really safer, or are investors being seduced by yield? We examine the arguments popularized by Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman, discuss whether dividends actually provide better retirement income, and explain why total return—not yield alone—should drive long-term investment decisions. Along the way, we'll discuss how today's market environment, disruptive technologies, and changing tax policies could reshape retirement planning for years to come. Plus, we preview our upcoming "Narrative Busters" series, where we challenge some of Wall Street's most widely accepted investment beliefs. 0:00 INTRO 0:19 - Butt stuff & Taxes 3:39 - MAHA & Homeopathy (Health & Wealth are Connected) 5:45 - Secure Act 2.0 & Rothification of America 9:53 - Do Not Stop Catch-up Contributions to Roths 12:58 - Putting Employer Matches in Roth accounts 14:15 - Dealing with Tax Implications (Bending Over) 15:45 - Temperature Technology 19:11 - Take the Pain of Taxes Now vs Later (Will They Tax Our Roths?) 20:23 - The Roth Saga of Peter Thiel 22:48 - The Tax Cascade is Coming 25:05 - Suze Orman, Dave Ramsey Rationale on Dividend Paying Stocks 27:58 - Dividend = Safety? 32:47 - Seduced by Yield 37:00 - If You Want Income... 39:15 - Impact of Disruptive Companies 40:39 - Narrative Busters tease (Which Ghost Buster is Who?
