Hey, it's Anna, popping in with another special conversation with you about money from

death, sex and money and slate money, hosted by my colleague Felix Salmon. As I mentioned last

week, Felix and I have been getting on video calls together to talk about the most core

decisions we make about money and our big feelings around those decisions. In our first chat,

Felix and I discussed how your financial life is impacted when you raise kids of your own,

or don't. This week, we're talking about something that is coming for all of us, should we have

the privilege of aging, the question

of how to support yourself in old age, retirement. And for this chat, we were joined by Felix's

actual personal financial advisor, and she answered so many of our questions about how to

save for retirement and how to manage your feelings that come up when you are thinking about saving for retirement.

You can also watch this conversation on YouTube if you want to see how our faces contorted as we asked some of the scarier questions.

You can find that at YouTube.com slash slate. I hope you enjoy it.

brain. I'm not much of a brain, but you are you definitely have,

you have brain and heart. And we are here to talk a little bit about the emotional side of money,

which I feel is something that people don't talk enough about. Here's how I think of it.
