Welcome to the Plutonomix Podcast, with Laurie Kamhi and Barnaby Levin. Two Perspectives on Wealth and Investing in 10 Minutes or Less. The word “Plutonomics” means the “Study of Wealth” and it is our Mission to educate; to help Clients think about their goals and how they might benefit from working with an Advisor to achieve them. But more importantly, it’s to make sure our listeners understand both the Pros and Cons of any issue so they can make Informed Decisions and increase the odds of finding the “right” answer, for them. You see, it’s not who’s “Right” or “Wrong” but, knowing there are NO “unbiased” opinions – and that “Where you Sit depends on where you Stand” – the challenge to making good Decisions is to start by questioning one’s Assumptions and breaking free of our “prejudices” because the truth usually lies somewhere in between. There are always two sides, both of which have merit.

In this week’s episode of the Plutonomix Podcast, Barnaby Levin and Laurie Kamhi discuss the increasingly relevant topic of wealth management and the socioeconomic challenges facing different demographics. Barnaby and Laurie talk about issues related to Social Security's sustainability and the impending, economic consequences due to the disparity between the 'haves' and the 'have nots' (that is, those that have wealth and those who do not). They look at the urgent need for reform in government spending and how these changes could positively impact personal investment strategies, if done. They also discuss the implications of large wealth transfers from one generation to the next, emphasizing the importance of financial literacy and responsibility.
