Do you ever wish you could sneak a peek into someone else’s retirement financial plan? Our retirement headline this week does just that. The article, Some Now More Later, takes a look into Richard Connor’s decision-making process as he examines how best to allocate his retirement funds and how he and his wife decided how to claim their Social Security benefits.

After the retirement headlines segment, we’ll discuss the best way to rebalance a portfolio in retirement. And lastly, in the personal development segment, you’ll hear our first audio submission from Linda on how she made an investment in herself by committing to learning a foreign language in retirement.
