In today's episode, having great internet access is so key for so many of us and there

are tens of millions of Americans that don't have access to good internet.

But I got great news for you if you're one of those people.

I'm also going to talk about a trend I really like in the retirement space.

So there's something that I talked about that was experimental earlier this year and it's

called Starlink.

Starlink is one of Elon Musk babies.

It is a satellite-based internet service.

And it has been in test for a while.

I talked about the successes of it in the Pacific Northwest and in Canada and in just a couple

of weeks.

Starlink is going to be available across the United States.

to set up, has no data caps, is much faster, has very low what's known as latency, and

is right now a hundred bucks a month.
