In this year in review episode of That Financial Guy Show, Keith Wilson looks back at what actually happened in the markets in 2025 and why it mattered for investors. From the early year market correction known as the Tariff Tantrum to a strong recovery that pushed markets to new highs, Keith breaks down the lessons learned. He also covers the One Big Beautiful Bill, changes to tax planning, the government shutdown, interest rate cuts, the surge in artificial intelligence stocks, and why a solid financial plan should guide decisions instead of emotions.

Most people don’t fail financially because they lack information. They fail because behavior breaks down when life gets emotional, unpredictable, or uncertain.

In this episode, I explain why a written financial plan changes behavior in a way advice alone never can. A real plan isn’t about predicting the future perfectly. It’s about being prepared when life changes, because life always does.

I walk through real client stories, including how one client’s commission-based income led to a larger emergency fund that later protected them after a job loss, how another client stopped emotionally reacting to market downturns once volatility was accounted for in their plan, and why even unexpected events like divorce are easier to navigate when a plan already exists.

You’ll also hear why it’s better to be approximately right than one hundred percent wrong, why gathering documents and completing questionnaires actually matters, how modern digital financial plans act as living, breathing tools, and why reviewing your plan annually is essential to staying aligned with real life.

It’s about clarity, confidence, and having a steady framework to return to when things change.

In this episode I walk through one of the most confusing areas in retirement planning today, the rules for inherited IRA and inherited Roth IRA accounts. I start with the simplest scenario, when a spouse inherits an IRA, and then work step by step into increasingly complex situations including non spouse beneficiaries, the ten year rule, Required Beginning Date considerations, eligible designated beneficiaries, stretch IRA rules for pre 2020 deaths, and how to determine whether the deceased had reached their RMD age. I also break down one of the most misunderstood topics in this area, what happens when someone inherits an IRA that was already inherited once before. I explain how the rules differ depending on whether the original owner died before or after the Secure Act, and when the stretch rule continues versus when the ten year clock applies. The episode also covers trust beneficiaries, see through trust requirements, five year rules, complications with multiple trust beneficiaries, and why a poorly drafted trust can unintentionally accelerate distributions. This episode provides a clear, detailed roadmap to understanding the rules and avoiding costly mistakes.
