Rainy-Day Planning- While the Sun Is Still Shining

Financial planning is like predicting the weather. You hope for mild skies, but still pack a raincoat. You're hoping to use your nest egg to buy a condo, take an African safari, or start a greeting card company. But other critical needs might present themselves unexpectedly, leaving you to spend your retirement income in ways that you did not foresee.

You're now going to meet three people: Joseph, who was faced with a disability when he was injured in a train accident; Ann, who lost her husband; and John, who knows he wants to retire but doesn't know if he has the money to pull it off. They're fellow ThirdAgers, just like you. See what our money expert, Jeff Fleming, has to say to them. It might just be good advice for you, too.
