You Don’t Have to Love Insurance — Just Hate Taxes More

Daniel Razvi & Imran Razvi — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:12:08 +0000

Insurance is often misunderstood, but when used strategically, it can play a powerful role in protecting wealth, reducing taxes, and strengthening a family legacy. Daniel Razvi and Imran “Raz” Razvi unpack common misconceptions about insurance and explain how tools like annuities and life insurance differ from health or auto coverage by offering contractual guarantees rather than negotiable claims. The conversation focuses on how life insurance can serve as a tax-efficient legacy planning strategy, potentially converting taxable retirement assets into larger, tax-free benefits for heirs, and how it can also function as a flexible financial tool for income planning and long-term wealth transfer.

Social Security Announces Lowest Cost of Living Adjustment in Four Years

Daniel Razvi & Imran Razvi — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 16:59:50 +0000

GUEST: Jenn Jones, VP of Government Affairs, AARP

TOPIC: Each year the Social Security Administration announces the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for the upcoming year. Last week, leaders announced a 2.5% COLA for 2025. That is smaller than recent years – attributable to slowing inflation.

COLA increases are meant to offset rising prices including food, gas and living expenses. This year, retirees on a fixed income have struggled to keep up with inflation and the 2025 COLA is expected to provide some relief.
