Jill on Money Radio Show: Your Money Questions Answered
This is it, the last weekend before Election Day. If you haven’t done so already, get out there and vote!!
Also, if you’re listening on Saturday, don’t forget to set your clocks back when you go to bed.
And happy Halloween! If there’s ever a year to wear a mask, this is the one :)
As for the show, we’ll talk all about the election in hour two, but first up it’s time for a bunch of your questions and a caller.
In October 2016, I warned that in advance of the presidential election, “you should not make changes to your portfolio in an effort to outfox the tried and true investment strategy of identifying your personal goals and objectives; creating and sticking to a diversified asset allocation plan, using low cost index funds; and rebalancing two to four times a year.”
Four years later, I am sticking to that guidance, so let’s just pinky-swear that you won’t try to adjust your investments or time whatever market movement you expect, and I promise not to lecture you about the folly of trying to time the market, OK?
To help us break down how the upcoming election may impact your investments, we're joined by Nathan Sheets, Chief Economist and Head of Global Macroeconomic Research at PGIM Fixed Income.

Election and the Economy
CBS This Morning: Economy Fact Check
The CBS News battleground tracker poll finds an overwhelming majority of Americans are optimistic about the economy, with 76 percent of voters rating it as "very" or "somewhat" good. I joined CBS This Morning to discuss why some economists say U.S. growth could "cool" next year.

Jobs, Markets and Midterm Elections
The Fifth Risk with Michael Lewis
If you’re a regular listener, you know this show is not political in nature. We leave that stuff to the so-called experts.
But since next Tuesday is Election Day, we thought we’d talk a little politics with rockstar author and repeat guest, Michael Lewis.
A prolific writer, it’s highly likely that you’ve probably picked up at least one of his books, including Moneyball, The Blind Side, The Big Short or Flash Boys.
In this interview, we discuss his latest work, The Fifth Risk, which focuses on the consequences we may face if some of the people given control over the government have no idea how it works.
As you turn the pages, you’ll be taken into various departments of the government that at times resemble a rudderless ship.
In Agriculture, the funding of vital programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it’s not clear there will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before terrorists do.
Willful ignorance plays a role in these looming disasters. If your ambition is to maximize short-term gains without regard to the long-term cost, you are better off not knowing those costs. If you want to preserve your personal immunity to the hard problems, it’s better never to really understand those problems. There is upside to ignorance, and downside to knowledge. Knowledge makes life messier. It makes it a bit more difficult for people who wish to shrink the world to a worldview.
Thankfully, Michael Lewis also finds the heroes, those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity keep the machinery running.
“Better Off” is sponsored by Betterment.
