Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Sunday, November 26th. Back to work tomorrow for all of you who had a long weekend. Sorry about that. but today don't worry, we've still got a show,

we're still here for you, we're still talking and taking your financial questions, trying to help

you make better choices as you look at everything that is in front of you.

It can be retirement, it can be education, it could be buying a home, it could be selling a home.

We kind of don't care.

But when you have some sort of financial issue that crops up, we encourage

you to go to our website Jill on money.com, click the contact us button, and of course let us know

if you would be willing to come on the air with us. Today we are going to talk to

Tom who's on the line from South Carolina.

I'm 63 this month actually and I'm planning on retiring at the end of this year and I'll have about a year and a half before moving on to to Medicare and I just wanted to kind of go over the high-level numbers with you and see if you felt like we were in good enough shape to kind of take that plunge.

Okay, sure. So give us the breakdown of what's going on. So you're still working right now and how much do you earn

Tom?

170. And are you using a retirement account?

Yep, we are fully loading up our 401k this year.

Great.

We indicates a partner.

Tell me about partner.

My wife of 42 years, so she is not working any longer she is a registered nurse but she retired a few years

ago. Is she entitled to any pension? No she doesn't have a pension.

Most of the retirement funds are actually in with me.

She has Roth dollars and an inherent IRA.

Okay. What do you think you really need to live on when it comes to your retirement?
