In this episode, The Annuity Man and Christine Benz discuss:  Why Christine is so passionate about financial education and retirement portfolio planning.  Why decumulation is not bad (and when it is a good thing).  Retirement blindspots to be aware of.  Staying mindful of additional, variable costs in your spending plan. Bucket approach investing and portfolios.    Key Takeaways:  Your portfolio doesn't know whether your withdrawals are coming from income or from selling appreciated securities, what matters is that you are not taking out too much.  People tend to overestimate our ability and desire to continue working and, often, retire earlier than they originally expected to.  There is power in diversification in your income portfolios.  The products under the annuity umbrella are incredibly varied. The type of annuity that is best for you depends on what your needs.    "If you're looking for something that will zig when your stocks zag, you probably want to ensure that your portfolio includes that cash and treasury bonds." —  Christine Benz    Connect with Christine Benz: Website: https://www.morningstar.com/  Podcast: https://www.morningstar.com/podcasts/the-long-view   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-benz-b83b523/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/christine_benz  Book: Morningstar's 30 Minute Money Solutions: https://www.amazon.com/Morningstars-30-Minute-Money-Solutions-Step/dp/0470918136 Book: Morningstar Guide to Mutual Funds https://www.amazon.com/Morningstar-Guide-Mutual-Funds-Strategies/dp/0470137533  Christine's Article Archive: http://www.morningstar.com/articles/author/30-christine-benz.aspx    Reference:  Open Social Security: http://opensocialsecurity.com/    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today - https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

On this episode of the en(gender)ed podcast, our guest is Christine Cocchiola, a licensed Clinical Social Worker and a tenured professor at a Connecticut community college, teaching in the Pre-Social Work Program for over 18 years. Christine began her career in social work as Certified Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Counselor for Safe Haven of Greater Waterbury at the age of 19 where she remains a volunteer today.  She is currently a doctorate candidate in Clinical Social Work at NYU studying coercive control.   We speak with Christine today about her research on coercive control, the impact that this abuse has on adult and child victims, and the advocacy and systems reform that she supports in order to generate greater accountability for abuse.  During our conversation, Christine and I referenced the following resources: Why Christine prefers the term "domestic abuse" instead of "domestic violence" in order to reduce reliance on the violent-incident model The difference between "coercive control" and "situational violence" The importance of calling "MRA" members, "male supremacists"--the sex/gender equivalent of "white supremacists" and not create a false equivalence between a systemically oppressed and unequal group and one with structural privilege Susan Weitzman's book, Not to People Like Us:  Hidden Abuse in Upscale Marriages An example of terroristic misogyny where gunman kills ex-girlfriend for allegedly not getting an invite to birthday party and why gun violence reform needs to address the root cause of sexism and misogyny Christine's testimony in support of "Jennifer's Law" for the Connecticut State Legislature --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!

How To Sleep Better With Christine Hansen If you google "How To Sleep Better" you will see so many search results it is astonishing. People are literally tapping away for solutions to their sleeping problems every second of the day. Now you won't need to struggle or google anymore as today's guest is an expert at teaching you how to sleep better. She first joined me on the show back in 2016 where we discussed her personal journey to building literally her "dream" business. Starting her journey as an English teacher in Luxembourg, she had a pretty standard career for a few years until she got to the point when her interest in corporate coaching and sleep patterns became too much to ignore. And she took the leap of faith, leaving her career in education in 2015 to start something new and inspiring. How The Dots Joined Up For Christine As she says “I understand that sleeping, while on sleep medication isn't really sleeping. I understand that falling asleep, but then having to lie awake for hours in the middle of the night isn't really sleeping, and I understand that waking up just as tired as when you went to bed isn't really sleeping either” Which I think is where most of us find ourselves on a daily basis. Our busy lifestyles needing more and more energy and focus. Our workloads taking us long into the night just to keep up. So how do we know how to sleep better for ourselves? Instead of trying every solution that seems to work for everyone else across the world. Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start sleeping like a baby with Christine Hansen. How To Sleep Better Highlights During the show we discussed such dreamy subjects with Christine Hansen such as: How to sleep better during the summer when it's really hot at night. That is a big problem. Why Christine think that the sleep trackers are such a bad and pointless idea. Christine reveals how she is getting her team together so that she can pivot moving forward. and lastly...... Why social norms around sleeping patterns should be ignored. Do what you have to do to get a good nights sleep.

Christine Hamilton took her first puff at age 13, and was a pack-a-day smoker by the time she was 17. Some family members warned her about the dangers of smoking, but Christine responded with the language she’d picked up from the relatives who smoked: “We all gotta die from something.” By the time she married a non-smoker, however, reasons to quit were starting to pile up. In this episode, Christine talks about the steps she took to quit smoking once and for all. And nutrition contributor Michelle Jaelin joins the podcast to talk about three nutrition myths she wants to see busted in 2019.

My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is a lady who is on a mission to help the world dream big, dream bold and then go out and make it happen. As she says ” I'm a dreamer and a doer, and if you have a dream, it's mine to help make yours come true. I love stories. The true ones are the best, because they're more exciting than fiction. I love helping write the stories of women like you who want more out of life than feeling like you're not living up to your potential as an entrepreneur.” And she is certainly living up to the mantle of a been there entrepreneur, as after studying Creative Writing at Oxford University, and then gaining an MA in Communication at Baylor University, who history is littered with startups and interesting business ideas. It's not often that someone starts a business based around making natural home and cleaning products, before become a breeder of high quality Arabian horses, before helping others across the world live a life that is brights, full of passion and their own. And that is what she is doing now, as alongside her previous still running businesses she spends her days envisioning, going after and accomplishing her desires and helping others do the same. A helper by nature, she has dedicated her skills as a mentor and public speaker to help women live their dream of leaving their day jobs to start their own business. And with her online platform Life With Passion, she is surrounding herself with more and more success stories of ladies who have now done just that. So where do people go wrong? Not dreaming big enough, or simply not starting? And if she could go back in time and change any of her own entrepreneurial ventures would she? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Christine McAlister Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Christine McAlister such as: Why she was so aware of where she wanted to focus her passions as a young lady, and the steps she took to make sure her dreams came true, even though it took her further away from her initial dream. Why she almost let her passion for horses be taken from her in her twenties due to listening advice of others, which is a lesson that she holds true to today. Never let someone else's ideas become the ones that you live by. Why Christine made the decision to hire a coach and how she then saw massive improvements in her life and the opportunities in her business. and lastly…. Why being Bossy is in so many ways a key part her story, even though for many years she fought against it.
