We start off with some fun on this week's episode of Our 2 Cents by drawing the names of our three raffle winners, congratulations to you all!
Then, we're posing a few questions to see what "side of the fence" Gabriel and Steve are on. Next we take a look at some priorities to keep in mind as you approach retirement, and finish up by answering a question from one of our listeners.
Debatable Questions - Where Do You Stand?:

• Is the market going to go up or go down?
• Should you always pay off your house as soon as you can?
• Should you ever use credit cards?
• Are individual stocks better than buying mutual funds or ETFs?

The Countdown to Retirement:

• What are you planning to do in retirement, and how will you pay for it?
• Health insurance and ensuring there are no gaps in coverage
• Reducing or eliminating debt before retiring
• Planning your income sources and Social Security benefits

Listener Question:

• "I am pretty much ready to retire, but I won't be old enough for Medicare for another six months. Should I just tough it out until then?" - Paul
