Today we are getting into some investing questions. We start off with a discussion around iBonds and if they are still a worth while investment or if it might be time to let them go. We also discuss ASC investment and buffer assets and what those both are. We talk about how to make asset allocation decisions when you have access to some unique investments and wrap up with a discussion around stock performance when you have a very long investing time horizon.

Today we are talking about finding balance in our lives. We discuss how to know what our risk tolerance is both in the finance space but also in our lifestyle. It is important to do the things we love that bring us joy, even if there is some risk involved. But at what point do we cross into reckless? We talk about how to know when we are working too hard and are too focused on saving for retirement that we forget to live our lives right now. We also chat with our friend Dr. Jordan Grumet, who will be a keynote speaker this year at WCICON. He is passionate about helping people find meaning in their lives to maximize happiness.
