Hi, and welcome to the Longview. I'm Christine Banz's Director of Personal Finance and Retirement Planning for Morningstar.

and Retirement Planning for Morning Star. And I'm Jeff Battack, Chief Ratings Officer for Morning Star Research Services.

Our guest on the podcast today is syndicated personal finance columnist and author Scott Burns.

Scott began his career as a newspaper columnist in the Boston Herald in 1977, where he was

Scott has authored or co-authored several books, including the coming generational storm and spend till the end, both of which he co-authored with Lawrence Kotlakov.

of Technology.
