Here's a good podcast for those newbies who don't understand saving and investing, and want the esteemed members of this group to advise them and set them on the right path.

Just happened across the site, sorry I didn't catch your posting on it. There is a post that I enjoyed about the journey of becoming comfortable in retirement. Called "Rough Start".

Kind of interesting to me as I struggle through being retired and not having things that need to get done or a purpose.



Here is a clip
"Things seemed good until that first Monday morning hit. My wife had gone to work and I found myself sitting at home alone. Things were pretty quiet. I missed the phone calls and daily emails I used to get at work. I started to get a little antsy. I couldn’t even hang out with my friends because all of them were still working."


Interesting read for those that are going through this.
