Hey everyone, I'm Gene Chatsky. Thanks so much for joining me today on Her Money. You know how much I love these Ask Me Anything episodes. It is so much fun to get the chance to connect with you one-on-one and really dig into what's on your minds. Well, today, we've got two incredible conversations lined up with some

single moms who are thinking ahead asking some really smart questions about how to prepare

for the future. First up, I'm chatting with Rebecca. She's a mom of two in Oregon,

looking at retiring in the next 15 years and wondering, is she doing enough

to get there? We break down her pension, Social Security, and retirement savings, and talk

about how to get a clear picture of her future income and whether it'll be enough. Then Sarah

joins me from Virginia.

She too is a single mom with a preschooler.

She's thinking about estate planning.

Specifically, she is wondering how to make sure her assets go directly to her daughter

and not her ex if something unexpected happens.

We dive into the importance of wills and trusts and

beneficiary designations and how to make sure you're prepared should the very worst happen.

If you are a single parent or you're just trying to plan ahead while juggling a lot,

this episode is for you. And if you've got a question you want to talk through, I would love to hear it.

Email me at Mailbag at hermoney.com.

We'll set up a Zoom and a time to chat.

We are going to take a quick break.

Hey, it's Jean, and I've got a question for you.

What's your five to nine looking like these days?

You know, time after work when you finally get to unwind and reset. Cozy Earth wants to make

that time the most comfortable part of the day. And I can tell you from personal experience, they're doing a pretty good job.
