reality radio for a really great future we're talking real money thank you for joining us on

talking real money i'm tom cock don macdonald is in utah today doing a class and so i will be

going solo with a special guest in just a few

minutes and at the end of the day the show really is about you and your money and your

concerns and how to live your life with less angst if you will about the money you have

and the money you might need and the money you have in the future and the people giving you

advice about that and gosh there's a lot of bad advice out there so we'll try to

get you some better advice some less biased advice I guess some advice maybe it's not so

interested in helping you because that person that's giving you the advice is going to make a lot

of money for doing so we can talk about any area of money that you would like any concern you have

anything you've done anything you're thinking about doing in your future. Most of the money discussion for us is around money you're

saving for retirement or money you might want to spend in retirement. But we'll be happy to talk

about anything. So it's an interesting week because I've never done this before. I actually flew to

the Midwest, flew to Chicago and then drove all the way back. People like, why'd you do

that? Drove all the way back from Chicago back to Seattle with my brother, who is a college

professor and not somebody who's money-oriented. We spent a little time talking about his money

situation, how much he makes and how much he doesn't make.

It's never been, as I said, an orientation of his.

And so I tried to spend a little time talking to him about how I view money, what I think

about money.

I think you in the audience and many of our clients and others I know believe that I spend

all day thinking about it, but I don't.
