Welcome to the Jill on Money Show.

It's Thursday, September 25th, and we are here trying to help you make more rational

financial decisions.

Now, the reason why I say that about rational is that so much about our financial lives

is influenced by our feelings, our emotions.

You think it's just a mathematical equation.

And lo and behold, nope, that's not how it rolls.

And so if you feel emotional about something, don't judge yourself for that.

That's totally normal.

But do get in touch with us because we may be able to help parse through

some of the emotions and get you to the other side to what is really a set of options that

you might consider.

So if that's you, if I'm talking your language, then just go to our website, jillonmoney.com, click the contact us button,

write us a note. If you would like to join us on the air live, just check the box. Mark will do

everything else. Don't forget to sign it for the free weekly newsletter while you're on the website.

Okay, let's get into it. We are talking to Mary, who joins us from Ohio.

Hi, Mary.

Hi, Jill and Mark.

Thanks for having me on the show.

I've been a listener for five years, and I love all the advice that you give.

Oh, thank you so much.

We really appreciate that.
