America's $36 Trillion Tab - How Does The U.S. National Debt Impact You?

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast! I’m your host, Ashley Micciche.

I’m a financial advisor and co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, a fee-only fiduciary financial advisory practice managing over $425M in assets. 

For 17 years, I’ve helped clients retire with confidence, and my goal on this podcast is to simplify the complexities of retirement planning so you can focus on what truly matters—enjoying your retirement years while maintaining financial security.

I remember having concerns about the US national debt and having conversations with clients about this back in 2011.

That’s what I’ll talk about this week. Because the US national debt isn’t like you or I having debt. It’s quite different. If we don’t have enough income to pay our debts like the US government, then we don’t have money trees. The US government has their own personal money tree, and that can work, up to a point.
