Income vs. If-Come

Income vs. If-Come

Billie and Mark Elliott build this conversation around a piece of wordplay: the difference between income, money you can count on arriving every month, and what Billie calls if-come, money that's only there if the market cooperates. They talk through why the question isn't just what kind of financial professional you want but what you want them to do with your money, why the priority shifts from rate of return to reliable income as retirement nears, and how a bad sequence of returns early in retirement can force people back to work.About the showThe Miles Financial Show is hosted by Billie Miles III, Founder and CEO of Miles Financial Group, an independent financial services firm in the Inland Empire serving individuals in or near retirement.

Billie and Mark Elliott tackle one of the largest and least-planned-for costs in retirement: health care and long-term care. They walk through why these expenses catch people off guard, why relying on Medicare alone leaves gaps, and how newer approaches to long-term-care planning differ from the traditional "use it or lose it" policies people remember. The throughline is the same as the rest of the series, building a plan that holds up regardless of what happens, rather than hoping the need never comes.About the showThe Miles Financial Show is hosted by Billie Miles III, Founder and CEO of Miles Financial Group, an independent financial services firm in the Inland Empire serving individuals in or near retirement.

The Tax Freight Train

The Tax Freight Train

2026-09-0425:04

Billie and Mark Elliott take on a part of retirement most people underestimate: taxes. The common assumption is that you'll be in a lower bracket once you retire, but between tax-deferred accounts, future rate changes, and required withdrawals, Billie argues the bill can be bigger than expected. They walk through why the years around retirement can be a window to convert tax-deferred savings to Roth, the trade-offs of paying tax now versus later, and why a tax strategy belongs alongside your income and investment plans rather than as an afterthought.About the showThe Miles Financial Show is hosted by Billie Miles III, Founder and CEO of Miles Financial Group, an independent financial services firm in the Inland Empire serving individuals in or near retirement.

Billie Miles joins Mark Elliott for a conversation about what happens when a plan built over decades meets something it never accounted for. Billie tells the story of the dominoes he spent hours lining up as a child, and the family dog who ran through them, then uses it to look at how much of a retirement plan quietly depends on conditions holding steady. The conversation also covers why monthly income, rather than account balance, tends to determine how retirement actually feels day to day, and a lesser-known option inside many employer plans called an in-service distribution.About the showThe Miles Financial Show is hosted by Billie Miles III, Founder and CEO of Miles Financial Group, an independent financial services firm in the Inland Empire serving individuals in or near retirement.

The Black Swan

The Black Swan

2026-09-0425:04

Billie and Mark Elliott build this conversation around author Nassim Taleb's idea of the "Black Swan", the rare, unpredictable event no one sees coming. They trace the term's origin (for centuries "all swans are white" was accepted fact, until black ones turned up in Australia in 1697), point to events like 9/11 and 2008 as market examples, and make a subtle but important point: diversification can spread out company-specific risk, but it can't protect you from a broad market drop if all your money is in the market.About the showThe Miles Financial Show is hosted by Billie Miles III, Founder and CEO of Miles Financial Group, an independent financial services firm in the Inland Empire serving individuals in or near retirement.
