Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Friday, September 19th, and we are here answering your financial questions. Okay, so Mark, get on the microphone for a second. You know, it is the 19th, which means I am, as you start to listen to this, everyone out there, I am beginning the day one of my ride.

And so, Mark, do you want me to tell you that I have arrived at the end of every day being okay?

Are you just going to assume that I'm fine?

I know you'll be fine.

So as I hop on my peloton today, for either a meager 20 minutes or 30 minutes, I'll give you a thought.

I can't even think like 20 minutes and 30 minutes sounds like nothing right now.

Like my sort of general like not a big deal ride is now an hour and a half.

So anyway, wish me luck, everyone.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to every single one of you who supported me, who continue to support me.

We're going to keep the little donate to cycle to the cause up at the top of the website.

If you want to support my big charity ride, you can do so, but you will not be able to give me a song to add to my

playlist, because playlist is kind of set right now. And I don't think I'll listen as much when I'm riding. I have these really cool headsets, Mark, that kind of go up to your temple. They don't go in your ear. They go around and sort of near. So I don't know how much. Last time I didn't do it quite as much. I didn't really listen to music. It was more for my training that I needed it.

But anyway, thank you all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it while you're on the website. You can also sign up for the free weekly newsletter. It comes out every Friday, which is today. And it also entitles you to get your blog posts write, you just automatically comes in. Okay, today, we are going to

talk to Anna, who joins us from Washington, D.C. Hello, Anna. How are you? I'm well. Thanks so much

for having me. How are you guys? We're doing great. What can we do for you? Yeah, so thanks so much. We, my husband and I live here in D.C. and we've been lifelong professional students and recently left the federal government. And so, which essentially means we've only had a short amount of time to really build up our retirement. We've built up our savings. And we have a toddler

with another little one on the way. We really just want to make sure, since we both are now in the

private sector, that we are on the right track. We know we don't have a lot right now,

but we would like to make sure, okay, we're setting our sites on a good plan forward.

My new job is good. It pays really well. However, it does not fill my professional cup like public

service did. So I guess that's also a caveat and a factor that I would like to take into consideration of

how long can I maximize the time that I'm here and do it financially and then still be able to

pivot at some point in the near future. You know, Anna, you remind me of my friend who I went to
