Looking forward to retirement? We make plans so we CAN retire, but have you ever thought about what you’ll be doing once you actually get there? We’ll discuss how your relationships, and marriage, can be impacted in your post-work life. In a rare second Friday headline, we’re continuing the retirement discussion with a look at finding new hobbies and passions during your retired life. When Joe Hawley retired from the NFL he moved into a van and hit the open road, what’s going to be your story? Joining us today to share his thoughts on retirement, from YourMoneyGeek.com, is special guest Michael Dinich. Michael will be joined by our (fantastic) regular contributors, Len Penzo from LenPenzo.com and Paula Pant from Afford Anything.

And halfway through the show we’ll take a break and talk to Bobby Matson from PayItOff. Still paying off your student loans? Wish you could pay the loans off faster? Make sure to check out today’s Fintech segment because you’ll love our interview with Bobby.

Plus we answer a three-oh call for help to the Blooom hotline. Ethan and his girlfriend are shopping around for car insurance. They’re also planning on buying a house and starting a family in the next couple of years. Should he get all the insurance he needs under one roof? Maybe through a broker?
