| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Wednesday, April 29th, and we are here trying to provide you with unconventional and entertaining insights on your money and your life. Yes, I wrote that 10 years ago, and it still holds. I am your hostess, Jill Schlesinger, and I am joined often by my compadre, Mark Talarcia. |
| 0:24.4 | We're both certified financial planners, and we don't do anything with that except help |
| 0:28.6 | navigate your financial journey. |
| 0:30.9 | Let us take some of the emotion out of a lot of the decisions that you are facing. |
| 0:35.2 | Get in touch with us by going to our website, Jill on Money.com. Click the contact us button. Write us a note. If you want to join us live, check the box. Mark will do everything else. While you are on the website, you've got to check out Jill on Money Live. That is our subscription service. Yes, that means we're going to charge you money. $45 for the next 12 months. |
| 0:56.7 | That's it. $45. You will have access to quarterly live webinars, the back catalog of those |
| 1:03.0 | webinars, bonus audio and video content for the next 12 months, $45. And our upcoming webinar is a doozy. We are going deep into the social security |
| 1:13.6 | system with social security expert, queen, princess, whatever you'd like to call her, Heather |
| 1:20.3 | Schreiber. Heather has so much knowledge about the social security system that even Ed Slott |
| 1:26.2 | says, oh, she knows everything about social security. |
| 1:28.7 | That's how good she really is. If you want to join us for the webinar, please subscribe to Jill |
| 1:34.3 | on Money Live. If you don't want to subscribe, you want to wait for the webinar to occur. |
| 1:38.8 | You can always buy it after the fact for 15 bucks. So you can always do a single purchase. We started that because |
| 1:45.9 | Mark's so smart. He started that after the Ed Slot webinar. So if you want to buy Ed, 15 bucks, |
| 1:51.8 | you want to buy Heather. It's 15 bucks, but you can't participate live. And live is fun. |
| 1:56.2 | Okay, let's do some emails. Here we go. This is from Annette, who says at age 67 and 71, we have a real |

| 2:14.2 | This must have been one of those fixed real estate investments. |
| 2:22.4 | They earned 8% for six years, but we feel like we should cash out. |
| 2:26.8 | Where should we invest for a high yield that's safer than the stock market? |
