Let’s get back to the basics. Everyone talks about retirement tools, projections, timelines, and tax strategies…what about answering, “How do I begin?” If that’s you, we’ve got you covered on today’s show because we’re talking to CPA Michele Cagan about Retirement 101. We’ll start off with how you fare against other savers (or non-savers), and then discuss how you should frame retirement. Is it one long process? Should you begin with picking investments? We’ll cover all of that and more on today’s show.
Student loan borrowers everywhere cheered recently when a Navy vet had his loans discharged in court (something people said couldn’t be done). In our headline segment we’ll talk to attorney Leslie Tayne about how that happened, and maybe spill a little bad news (spoiler) about you and your student loans. But don’t worry–all hope isn’t lost. Leslie will also share some good advice for student loan borrowers.
Of course, that’s not all. We’ll also throw out the Haven Life line to a lucky listener AND save time for some of Doug’s cat vs. dog trivia. It’s another fun day down in the basement. Hope you can join us!
