It’s final week of the summer fund raising season for Public Television, so we are revisiting some of our most popular programs. This one focuses on the importance of preparing for retirement, which most of us don’t do adequately! Personal finance guru Jane Bryant Quinn discusses the topic of her new book, “How to Make Your Money Last: The Indispensable Retirement Guide”. You can watch the episode again here.
NEW THIS WEEK: During these fund raising weeks on public television we are always on the lookout for some interesting tidbits. We found some in this Navigator Dispatch piece from MainStay Investments, titled Polls, Profits and P/Es. Before you read it, the Democratic Convention ended on July 28th, more than 30 days ago.
