The focus of this podcast is to discuss various retirement topics from an outsider’s point of view. In terms of this podcast, an outsider is:
1. Someone who is not retired
2. Someone who is not a financial advisor
3. Someone who is not a CPA, lawyer or healthcare advisor
Our intent is to make some sense out of all the financial, accounting, estate planning and healthcare jargon … from an outsider’s perspective. In addition, we will discuss some of the behavioral aspects that come with not being tied down to a 9-5 job.
Don't take our word for it, listen to what a real retiree has to say. Our first studio guest, Paul!
