When the you know what was hitting the fan back in March, a lot of people were frozen with fear. Six months later, and even though there's been quite a rebound on Wall Street, many are still unsure how to proceed.

Good news, bad news. The good news is that your investments have done very well! The bad news (kind of) is that you're now facing a boat load of capital gains. What should you do?

The labor force has been decimated over the last several weeks, and perhaps no group has been impacted more than the older works.
According to an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute, older workers are less likely than younger ones to have jobs that can be done remotely. Almost 8 in 10 workers over 65 can’t telecommute, compared with about 6 in 10 between 35 to 44, the analysis found.
At the same time, older Americans may be at higher risk of complications from the coronavirus due to their higher rate of chronic health issues.
To discuss this and much, much more, we're joined by labor economist Teresa Ghilarducci.
Any time I get a chance to chat with Teresa, I consider it a must listen.

Mid-July looks a lot like mid-March, meaning the emails continue to pile up. Though I have to say, we have made a sizable dent, so maybe by Labor Day we’ll be back on track?? Scratch that, highly unlikely after I take some time off in August and won’t be answering any emails for a while :) Everything will pile right back up!
“I’m just bad with money!” I know that many have convinced themselves that they were born with a recessive money management gene, but financial planning can be learned, like anything else. That's the message of This Is the Year I Put My Financial Life in Order. In a book that is part financial memoir and part research-based guide to attaining lifelong security, New York Times reporter John Schwartz bares his financial soul.
Schwartz and his wife, Jeanne, are upper middle class earners, who have been on a financial rollercoaster. Sharing his own alternately harrowing and hilarious stories, from his brush with financial ruin and bankruptcy in his thirties to his short-lived budgeted diet of cafeteria food, John will walk you through his own journey to financial literacy, which he admittedly started a bit late.
He covers everything from investments to retirement and insurance to wills (at fifty-eight, he didn't have one!), medical directives and more. Whether you're a college grad wanting to start out on the right foot or you're approaching retirement age and still wondering what a 401(K) is, this book will help you find your financial way.
So if you are like the countless others who are a bit tentative when it comes to money matters, but are willing to learn before it's too late, this book should help improve your financial literacy.

We start things off with Deborah from New Jersey who has the very familiar question of whether or not it makes sense to pay off the mortgage. It’s something Deborah and her husband disagree on, so who’s right and who’s wrong? I’ll be the judge of that!
Next was Linda in Minneapolis who unfortunately finds herself out of work a bit sooner than she anticipated. With that being said, she want’s to know if it makes sense to start taking Social Security early, or should she still wait and let in increase by about eight percent each year?
Networking has garnered a reputation as a sort of necessary evil in the modern business world. Some do relish the opportunity to boldly work the room, introduce themselves to strangers, and find common career ground, but for many others, the experience is often awkward, or even terrifying.
The common networking advice for introverts are variations on the theme of overcoming or “fixing” their quiet tendencies. But our latest guest, Karen Wickre, is a self-described introvert who has worked in Silicon Valley for 30 years.
In her recent book, Taking the Work Out of Networking: Your Guide to Making and Keeping Great Connections, she shows you how to embrace your true nature to create sustainable connections that can be called upon for you to get, and give, career assistance, advice, introductions, and lasting connections.
Karen’s “embrace your quiet side” approach is for anyone who finds themselves shying away from traditional networking activities, or for those who would rather be curled up with a good book on a Friday night than out at a party.
With compelling arguments and creative strategies, this new way to network is perfect not only for introverts, but for anyone who wants for a less conventional approach to get ahead in today’s job market.
