What’s the first step?- What is an investment philosophy?- What taxes will I have when investing?- What’s a Fiduciary?- What is asset allocation...and what does Christopher use?- How do advisors get paid?- How much money will I need to retire comfortably?Christopher says this question can be answered differently by everyone. Ultimately it could be assumed that anyone would want to retire with having all their basic needs covered, enough funds available to cover travel desires, enough funds available to handle almost any home and vehicle repair and the only reason someone would to go back to work is because they want to. Christopher says:1) Obtain an idea what’s needed for your basic needs during retirement first. 2) Ask, what are your expectations of a retired lifestyle?3) Determine if some of the "what-ifs" are being addressed? (I.e. long-term care, expected family care giving responsibilities, existing health concerns) Remember:Begin the process and get an idea of what that magic number is.Begin to determine your definition of "living comfortably, see what Christopher is also licensed to sell life insurance in Missouri.

Jade Harrell with Rachel Winograd, Assistant Research Professor with UMSL, the Missouri Institute of Mental Health (MIMH). She leads an extensive effort called the Opioid Crisis Targeted Response.The opioid epidemic is hitting a lot of people and families in Missouri with no exception. Last year in Missouri we lost upwards of 900 people. It is the biggest public health emergency of our lifetime. Looking at the number of people who died of fatal overdose, 2016 was the biggest year in recent history the numbers are rising. Last year, for example, we lost more people from overdose than we lost from gun violence or vehicle accidents or than we lost at the height of the HIV epidemic in the 90s. We lost more people last year alone than we lost in the entirety of the Vietnam War.Rachel and the organization have been granted 20 million dollars over the course of two years and they're dividing that between prevention treatment and recovery support services. The bulk of dollars are going to treatment. The goal is to close the treatment gap because there are waiting lists of people who are trying to get help and they're told it's three months or it's six months. They also putting funds directly to treatment reimbursement for people who don't have insurance. So if you're looking for treatment or if you have a family member who's looking for treatment for heroin or painkillers or fentanyl, you can get treatment and you can see treatment programs in your area.For more information visit: www.missouriopioidstr.orgSAVING LIVES IN MISSOURI THROUGH PREVENTION, TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY SUPPORT.Our Guest:Rachel Winograd, Ph.DProject DirectorRachel.Winograd@mimh.edu314-516-8415
