To close out the unusual year we've just had, I wrote a guest article for Retirement Daily on The Street. I covered 10 financial tasks we can all wrap up after the holidays. With such a complex financial system, it's important to take some time to look under the hood at each account you own. And, help prepare for the upcoming tax season. None of these account reviews takes … [Read more...] about Guest Column: 10 Financial Tasks to Wrap Up 2020

Make a Difference on Small Business Saturday, November 28th We don’t think much about running into our towns.  It might be to pick up a gift or drop off our grandkids at music, karate, or art class.  Or, to meet up with friends for dinner at a local restaurant.  That seems like a long time ago.  The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly changed all … [Read more...] about Time to Save Our Small Businesses and Our Communities

I hit on an idea I wanted to explore for a recent article I wrote for Retirement Daily at The Street.  It’s been a long 8 months of COVID. So much changed so abruptly, and every person has been affected in some way, shape, or form.  But, for many of us in our mid-50s and beyond, something else is happening.  What we hear and see on the nightly news is not what we are … [Read more...] about 8 Insights into Retirement: A Silver Lining to 8 Months of COVID

The COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on every person in every corner of the globe. It has forced all of us into isolation or has curtailed our very way of life. But, being alone is not part of the human experience. Our social networks (and I don't mean Facebook and Twitter) and communities are critical to our well-being. And having a strong social network is an important part of … [Read more...] about Councils on Aging (COAs) Adapt in the Age of COVID-19

Guest Column in RetirementDaily.net Many people ask me this question:  Is Social Security really different for women?  The answer is surprisingly complex.  It requires the asker to have a fair amount of knowledge about Social Security. How was it developed? What's the purpose behind social insurance?

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…
