Dollars&Sense Nelson Financial Planning

Join hosts Joel Garris and Zach Keister on this action-packed episode of Dollars & Sense as they break down the fast-paced start to 2026. Discover why the stock market’s leadership is changing, what the “Mag 7” becoming the “Fab 4” means for your investments, and how early signs of broad market participation could reshape your portfolio. The duo tackles interest rates, the latest moves from the Federal Reserve, and what falling mortgage rates mean for buyers.  But it’s not just about markets—Joel and Zach dive into the five financial lies people keep telling themselves, from “I have a budget” to “I don’t know why I’m always broke.” They share practical steps to build a real emergency fund, track your spending, and take control of your financial future. If you’ve ever wondered why your money seems to disappear, this segment is a must-listen!  The show wraps up with a look at the $4.6 trillion real-estate wealth transfer—from Baby Boomers to Gen X and Millennials—that’s already changing housing and family planning. Whether you’re considering buying property for your kids, downsizing, or inheriting a home, you’ll get expert insights on how to structure these moves and avoid common pitfalls.  Tune in to hear how market trends, personal finance habits, and generational shifts are converging in 2026—and what it means for you.  💵 About Dollars & Sense: 💵 Hosted by Joel Garris, a Certified Financial Planner and Fiduciary at Nelson Financial Planning, Dollars & Sense is one of Central Florida’s longest-running radio programs and a top 25 financial planning podcast.
