It’s the day after Christmas, and many of you listening today may be hearing this show for the first time because you just got an Alexa device for Christmas. Or maybe you’ve tuned in along the way and missed the intro week where I talked in depth about what these tips are all about.

So I want to take a step back for a moment to say welcome, and thank you for listening!

I want you to feel like the content here is speaking directly to you at this stage in your life, so let me start off with what we’re not about over here at the “One Minute Retirement Tip”:

This is a show for Americans quickly approaching traditional retirement. You’ve made good choices along the way. You have money saved for retirement (maybe you still need to save a little more), and you want to retire within the next 10 years.

The decisions you make over these last few years will be absolutely critical to your long-term success in retirement. So we talk about how to get to a fulfilled and secure retirement, all while balancing so many other competing financial priorities: Putting your kids through college, trying to pay off your house, taking care of your aging parents, and having a little fun too!

These tips are organized by weekly themes, so there will be a new topic each week, so I can go in depth on a certain topic while keeping these tips short, sweet, and under 2 minutes. Last week we talked about charitable giving and next week I’m going to help you get organized and give you some guidance on all of those financial documents. What to keep, what to shred, and how to keep your financial life organized.

So let me send you off into your day with this: Thank you so much for including me in your daily routine! I hope to bring you massive, massive amounts of value that you can take to ensure your retirement security.

That’s it for today! Thanks for listening. Tomorrow we’re going to continue with this week’s theme: wise words, quotes, and jokes about investing and retirement, and you’ll hear what Frank Sinatra has to say about money.

My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the One Minute Retirement Tip.
