In this episode, Ed Butowsky and Jordan McFarland discuss the CHIP Score, a tool that allows individuals to input their expenses and taxes to obtain a realistic assessment of how well their portfolio and investments are performing.

The CHIP Score helps answer questions such as:

• How is my portfolio performing in relation to my financial needs?
• Am I keeping up with increases in my cost of living?
• Is my portfolio properly diversified for my goals?
• How much risk am I taking?
