| 0:00.0 | December 14th, 2020, welcome everybody to the Women and Money podcast, as well as everybody smart |
| 0:15.1 | enough to listen. And yes, today is another Susie school. we're almost coming down to the end of another year. |
| 0:23.5 | Last Sunday, I did a Susie school about a woman that we decided to call Susan, and what happened |
| 0:31.9 | to her in terms of her very good friend asking her to take her money from a successful financial advisor where she was |
| 0:39.7 | making money and give it to this woman's son who was a brand new financial advisor just so he |
| 0:45.8 | could look like he was doing well and attracting big clients. And because her son was only going to |
| 0:52.5 | charge her 1% versus this extraordinary advisor that was |
| 0:56.1 | charging her 1.5. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go back to last Sunday and listen to it. |
| 1:02.3 | Well, I have to tell you, that podcast generated more email in a way that I didn't expect. So many of you wrote and said, Susie, that happens to me all |
| 1:16.3 | the time. Not necessarily about me transferring my account, but I just get so afraid. One friend |
| 1:23.9 | tells me to do this, another friend tells me to do that. My spouse tells me to do this. |
| 1:28.5 | I'm just so afraid. And what can you tell me about being afraid? |
| 1:34.8 | So what's interesting is that I hear from so many women. You would imagine that, the Women and Money |
| 1:41.9 | podcast, and everybody smart enough to listen. But what I love |
| 1:45.5 | so much about this podcast is that really the majority of people that are listening are 50, 60, 70, |
| 1:54.7 | 80, and so on. I love that because there's not another podcast out there that specializes in getting financially |
| 2:04.1 | mature, financially older, the decisions you have to make and face when you are ill, |
| 2:09.3 | when you are old, you can't work anymore. And I remember when I was 45 years of age and my first |
| 2:15.1 | book was, you've earned it, don't lose it, mistakes you can't afford to make |
| 2:18.2 | when you retire. But what did I know about retirement, really? It was 45. Now I am 30 years older than that, |
| 2:28.0 | and I know a lot about retirement. I know about getting ill. I know about making mistakes. I know certain things. |
| 2:37.6 | So I love that I have my elderly community. And I love the ones that are young enough, |
