enjoyed the show. generally i agree with what was discussed, people work so hard for their money but are too lazy to take ownership in understanding how to take care of it and put it too work for them – as with most things, people look for the easy answer and to willingly handover their life savings to a salesperson. a fool and his money….
i am a fan of balancing tomorrows “retirement” with today’s life style – i contribute enough to get the full company match in my 401k, and put a little extra into my roth ira which i have better management over.
keep up the good work – i am trying to get some friends to understand a little bit will add up over time. it is a snowball effect.
