Welcome to the Jill on Money Show.

It's Friday, March 20th,

and we are here trying to provide you with unconventional

and entertaining insights on your money and your life.

I'm Jill Schlesinger, your host S.

Sometimes I forget to say who I am, Mark.

I think they probably know by now.

But anyway, that's who I am. And I forget to say who I am, Mark. I think they probably know by now. But anyway, that's

who I am. And I love answering your questions. I'm a certified financial planner. So is

executive producer Mark, you know, sort of my day-to-day job is I'm the business analyst at CBS

News. But I love these conversations with you guys because I think that they inform so much

of what's relevant in people's lives, which is I want to do what I want to do when I want to do it. And so if you can relate to that and you've got a question, get in touch with us. Go to jillunmoney.com. And in the upper right hand corner of our website, there was a contact us button. When you click that button, a form will pop up. And that's the email that we received. Give us a bunch of detail if you don't think you'll want to come on the program. If you want to come on the show, however, just check the box. Mark will arrange to get you on. While you're on the website, check out all the stuff that lives there. We've got another podcast. it's called Money Watch. That's on the weekend. So if you can't get enough of us Monday through Friday and you want a little more Jill and Mark, then check out the Money Watch podcast. We go a little bit deeper in particular topics usually. And we try to highlight all sorts of different kinds of people because you guys tell us that on this show, we only talk to rich people, which is not true.

But we try to give you a wider range on the Money Watch show.

We also have a blog and we have a radio show and videos and resources, all that right there at jillonmoney.com.

Today, we are talking to Katrina, who joins us from Long Island, New York.

Hello, Katrina. How are you? What can we do for you? Hi, Jill. I'm great. So I or me and my

husband were a couple in our early 50s, two kids, and basically reached out because I wanted to get a financial

gut check based on where we are right now, specifically also asking about if I should switch

to a Roth IRA. I've kind of got a lot of different questions going on. All right, that's good.

So you're in your early 50s. So you're married.

How old are the kids? I have a almost 20 year old who's a sophomore in college and a 15 year old

who's a freshman in high school. Okay. So you spaced it out. You gave yourself a little break.
