So money episode 1467, ask Farnoosh.

Welcome to So Money, everybody. Friday, January 27th, 2023. How's everybody doing?

This was a kind of an epic week for me. I got to visit my favorite morning duo on television,

Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest. I'm not a morning person, but if the producers for

live with Kelly and Ryan do ask me to join the show, I'm there with Belzon.

I am gladly getting up early. And on Monday, I happily kicked off the show's

week long financial series. They just wrapped it today with a segment dedicated to

saving for retirement. They wanted some easy, maybe even like lazy hacks for

managing your retirement funds. And so I offered my best tips. I'm going to recap that

right now in case you missed it and also put the link to the show in our show notes.

So you can see the whole presentation. I wore my Eagles green. Sorry,

everybody else, but you know, I'm partially from Philadelphia. So got a route for the

Eagles. But my tips, they were short and simple. First, when it comes to

saving for retirement and you want to make it easy, let the robots do the work.

You know, gone are the days of needing to cherry pick the right mutual funds for

your portfolio. Remember that? I remember that distinctly when I was like in my

early 20s, all of those early years working. I had to, I was given a 401k,

which was great. But then they're like, okay, let us know where you want us to

put your money because I'm the expert. So that was a lot of late nights,

googling random acronyms, trying to pretend I had any clue what I was doing.

But now, of course, with Robo advisors or automated investment platforms,

they'll do the work for you. They ask you a series of questions, takes minutes.
