Talking Money with Your Parents

elder 2.jpg

This week we start the show with Kimberly from Atlanta. She and her husband are doing a great job of saving but are having a difficult time taking the next step of actually investing a good chunk of their money. Do they need to see a planner? Or is this a situation where they can do it on their own? Or maybe a robo?

Next up was Mary from San Francisco who is in the running for daughter of the year. Being the good person she is, Mary is in the process of trying to help her parents get their finances in order. A problem that’s more common than you’d think.

No hour two guest this week as we try to yet again catch up on the emails. We’ll likely be doing this throughout the month of August, so if you’re a fan on the guest interviews, expect them to return in September.

CBS This Morning: Planning for Aging Parents

Many families do not plan ahead for the care of aging parents, and the financial burden often falls on adult children. Nearly three in 10 Americans with a parent 65 or older say they have helped their parents financially in the past year, according to a 2014 survey. I joined CBS This Morning to discuss how you should start those difficult financial conversations and what you should be asking your parents.

CBS This Morning: Money Talks

Money can be an awkward topic of conversation. Many Americans say they would rather talk about almost anything else. A recent Capital Group survey asked more than 1,200 adults about what topics they considered "too taboo" to discuss with friends. Income, retirement savings, and the amount of debt were at the very top. I discussed on CBS This Morning.
