Everyone wants to put their head on the pillow at night and feel peace of mind. But if you’re staring at the ceiling all night anxious about your financial life, you’re far from alone. Today’s guest knows money management is one of the top sources of stress for Americans.

I’m so excited to have Richard Eisenberg, the Managing Editor of Next Avenue, here with us today. Richard’s experience and wisdom are overflowing with important information. In fact, you might even want to listen to this episode twice. 

In this episode, we’ll hear from him about managing money, the challenges of retirement planning, and the very different problems for today’s retirees. 

We covered:

• Richard’s journey from journalism student to Managing Editor of Next Avenue
  
• The biggest change he looks forward to his future next chapter
• What surprises Richard the most about how people manage their personal finances
• The reality of social problems currently facing the financial services industry
• Concerns about the future of baby boomers (and the future for our children)
