Summary

#603: Bethany’s partner wants to invest most of their money in gold and silver, but no one seems to talk about this kind of investing. Is this a red flag or a potential opportunity?  Diana is worried she’s been saving too much for her kids’ college - hundreds of dollars a month since they were born. How does she know when to stop?   Wendy’s pension and social security will cover all her basic expenses during retirement. Does the four percent rule still apply to her discretionary nest egg, or is there another approach? Former financial planner Joe Saul-Sehy and I tackle these questions in today’s episode. Enjoy! P.S. Got a question? Leave it here. For more information, visit the show notes at https://affordanything.com/episode603 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Never too much.

0:42.3

Save more.

And we'll hear from someone with some questions about retirement, the 4% rule, the efficient frontier, all of our favorite topics.

the former financial planner, Joe Sal C-high. What's up, Joe?

1:20.4

I don't mind the meat sweats because if you have them, you earned them. You know what I mean?
