Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Thursday, April 30th. Oh my goodness. The last day of April,

where does the time go? Mark and I have talked about this many times that because of our schedules

and the way that we record in advance for a lot of stuff, it always feels like it catches us by surprise how quickly

whether or not it will hold up over 30 years. Steve, are you married, single, partnered?

I am married, married for over 30 years. And are you both working and
