How most people meet the retirement rules. We are working on that.

What this is

Retirement News Rundown is a retirement education platform built specifically around the rules that cost people money. RMDs, Roth conversions, inherited IRAs, contribution corrections, small-business retirement plans, all the topics that show up when retirement decisions go wrong.

The work shows up in three forms. Knowledge Blasts are short daily breakdowns of one specific rule, published seven days a week. Deep-Dive Guides are long-form references organized by topic. Planning Tools are working calculators that run the real IRS math behind retirement decisions.

Education only. No advice, no fiduciary relationship, no products to sell.

What this is not

This is education only. It is not individualized investment, tax, or legal advice. It does not establish an advisory, client, or fiduciary relationship. The content reflects personal views and experience, not the views of any employer or institution.

Always consult your own tax professional, financial advisor, or legal counsel before making decisions about your accounts, investments, or retirement strategy.

About Retirement News Rundown

Editorial approach

Every Knowledge Blast targets one specific, searchable retirement rule. The format is consistent: trigger, rule, example, resolution. 800 to 1,000 words. No padding, no bullet lists, no inspirational fluff.

Content is sourced from primary materials: IRS publications, the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations, and the rule changes Congress passes every few years. Citations stay out of the body text because they make pieces harder to read, but the sources are real.

Articles are evergreen by default. Specific dollar limits and contribution thresholds change annually, so they live on a separate contribution limits page rather than getting baked into individual articles. When IRS rules change, articles are updated.

Accuracy is not negotiable. Wrong information about retirement rules costs people real money. Every article is fact-checked against primary sources before publication.

Who writes this

Dan Cashion founded Retirement News Rundown in 2026. Before that, he spent eight years as a senior retirement specialist and subject matter expert at Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade. He worked the operations side of retirement accounts: the corrections, the conversions, the rollovers, the missed deadlines, and the phone calls from people who had made an expensive mistake without realizing it.

That experience shaped the platform. The articles cover the rules he watched people miss in real time, year after year, account after account. The traps are not exotic. They are ordinary, and they happen to ordinary people who thought they were doing the right thing.

Retirement News Rundown is published by Cashion Enterprises LLC, based in Missouri.
