Next month I’m meeting with Colby to discuss how to approach the end of Trumps tax cuts in 2026. He thinks outside the box.
Definitely going to be an issue in Jan 2026 with the end of the tax cuts unless that’s continued. I just moved my investments from Merrill Lynch where I was paying a 1% fee to Schwab where I’m not paying any fees. Happy with the free advice, research, and info provided by them thus far.
