Planning for the future often means making decisions today based on what we think tomorrow will look like — but life, markets, and technology have a way of changing the picture.

We begin with estate planning and 11 signs that your plan may need attention. From marriage, divorce, and growing families to outdated beneficiaries, business succession, and even digital assets, we look at why an estate plan shouldn’t simply be created and forgotten.

Then, could you save enough in your 30s or 40s to stop contributing toward retirement altogether? We explore Coast FI, the financial independence concept gaining attention on social media, and examine the assumptions about investment returns, inflation, and life changes that would have to hold up for the numbers to work.

Finally, Tesla’s Cybercab is moving from concept toward real-world deployment. We discuss the growing robotaxi race, the technical and regulatory hurdles that remain, and whether autonomous transportation is approaching an inflection point—or still has a long road ahead.

Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.
