Democratic presidential contender Michael Bennet wants to increase the top income-tax rate paid by the wealthiest Americans to 44%, which experts say exceeds that of other presidential hopefuls to date.

Bloomberg didn't compete in the Iowa caucuses. Here's why and how he may still qualify for upcoming debates.

Turning 65 is a big milestone in retirement due to Medicare eligibility. But if clients don't get their enrollment decision right, they could face costly penalties or higher medical expenses. Here's what advisors need to keep in mind — and what they need to think about if they want to loop in third-party expertise.

With the average couple shelling out an estimated $285,000 for medical expenses after age 65, some advisors are looking closely at how their clients should best spend their health-care dollars.

While some of the underlying thinking behind the so-called 4% rule was prudent, it was hatched in an era in which interest rates were much higher, capital markets less volatile and, most important, Americans had shorter lifespans. Given today's market volatility and changed retirement landscape, it's safe to assume that the 4% rule may be obsolete.
