As you get older, money habits are either good or bad.

While we still have several viable work years ahead of us, odds are that our age might affect our earning potential in the next few years. We are both 58.

The Motley Fool website recently posted this:

“It was not surprising that 77% of retirees used Social Security as a source of retirement income, and 92% of those over 65 did so. Social Security benefits are meant to replace 40% of your annual salary in retirement, which is why preparing for retirement through saving and investing is so important.”

And many people don’t save.

Financial planning for us - and everyone, frankly - is a must.

In this episode we talk about shifting our financial priorities to better prepare ourselves for a retirement future that is creeping closer.

Cathy loves our banter at the beginning of each episode and in this particular moment she wants to dive head-first into our disagreement on Wordle.

But then we get into the meat of the podcast.
Dating is hard enough, especially as we get older. With Red State / Blue State thinking, finding a mate becomes even more difficult.
Never before in our lifetime was politics such a divisive topic between families, friends and sadly … prospective dating.
When we were in college, we rarely talked about politics and certainly the topic would never halt our choice to try and date (read: sleep with) someone. If anything, it was religion that made us young daters nervous because we were afraid our PARENTS would object.
But this climate of politics? It’s often the single, biggest filter placed on people’s online dating profiles.
Sad, perhaps, and true.

First, we have a beef with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway for “stealing” or creative podcast introduction of talking first before then moving to our intro … as if this is actually something to be stolen. 



Still, it seems very interesting that we’ve been writing them and then suddenly their podcast intro resembles ours. Coincidence? Hmmmm …

Many changes in life happen at a moments notice. That phone call you weren’t expecting. The results from a doctor’s appointment. And so on. 



And while nothing terrible happened to us, and to not be too dramatic here, our dear friend and counselor, Linda, notified us that she is retiring. 

It’s not a death for sure however it is a change, neither good nor bad. Simply a change which means a change for us.
