Social Security is NOT Going Bankrupt (Again)

The first question I asked the audience was “When is Social Security going bankrupt?” Most people said around 2034. That’s what pretty much everyone thinks. The problem is that’s not the…

What’s Cookin’?

If your kitchen is anything like mine, it’s the place everyone gathers to talk about their day, share special moments, and ask important questions. And to see what’s cooking.

For me, there is a strong connection between preparing meals and planning retirement. Both need certain ingredients, recipes to follow, and getting the timing just right.

My motto to live by: If you can make a lasagna, you can create a plan for retirement.

Look for an invitation to join me at my kitchen table where retirement is always on the menu.

More coming soon…
