Hey everyone, welcome to the Big Picture Retirement Show, where we deliver insight on what you need to know for a meaningful retirement.

If you are planning for or living in

retirement, this is the show for you. I'm Devin and here today again with John Ross, my co-host. Hey, John.

Howdy.

Hey, you know, before we get in today's show, which is a fascinating interview with Dr. Brandon

Renfro, where we're

talking about Bonds, I wanted to take just a moment and talk about this hurricane that's hit us,

just a few hours south of us here. In the great state of Texas, we've had the Houston area

impacted dramatically with Hurricane Harvey. You know, something like a quarter of the

population of the state of Texas has been displaced and the impact has been phenomenal. So our

thoughts and prayers are certainly with all of the people that's been displaced, but additional to

that, all the folks that are down there serving as rescue.

But it's going to have some sort of economic impact as well, and I think it's important that we pay

some attention to that. So I ask our good friend to come back on the show, Andrew Comstock,

and talk about some of this. Hey, Andrew, how are you? Hey, Devin. I would say it's good to be here.

It's always good to talk to you, but I think our hearts and thoughts and prayers are going

out to everything in Houston. We've got family down there who've been impacted by the storm.

Hopefully they have a quick recovery. And yeah, you know, just our hearts and, I should say,

our thoughts and prayers go out to them. So, yeah, I think you kind of were interested to know what the impact was for this and a couple

different ways to look at it.
