Welcome to the Jill on Money Podcast. It's Wednesday, September 23rd, and this is the

program that tries to help you get through your financial life without tearing your hair out.

It's so easy.

All you need to do is when you're feeling freaked, just send us an email.

It's easy, right? Ask Jill at Jill on Money.com.

That is what Jill writes and she says, hi Jill, my favorite out and proud financial advisor.

That's me, baby.

I'm not a financial advisor anymore.

Jill says, I hear you talk about the jobs report,

the GDP, and other economic indicators.

Your comments sound like, oh, this is so bad, so sad, but I wonder if these

things affect me. I'm retired, my income is only my pension, Social Security, and my VA retirement benefits.

I have VA health insurance and it covers 100% of my medical costs.

I have no bills other than a mortgage and that takes one third of my income. I'm very comfortable with my situation. I have a

fidelity growth mutual fund, it's doing very well. I've been toying with the idea of taking

all of my money out and putting it into something safe like a CD.

And this is why I'm asking my question.

It makes me nervous at the thought of losing my nest egg.

Your comments about the economy make me worry.

Do these indicators affect me now or might they in the future?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I listen to your podcast every day. Well Jill I

mean I know that some of the current state of the economy can be scary.
