    We continue our three-part series on aging, this time we are looking at your finances. Before you retire, how much money do you need in the bank? How much depends on how long you will live. Your life expectancy will help you come up with the calculations necessary to figure out how much you need to save for retirement. We learn more about retirement and finances with David Blanchett.

  • Family Law

    Divorce is a challenging topic, and it almost feels like a curse word. However, as with many of the other complex issues that we bring to light on this show, we should discuss the topic. We should also talk about the prenuptial agreement so that if things do go south in your marriage, you are both protected. I am joined by a lawyer from Florida who has helped couples through this difficult process. Dolly Henandez represents high-net-worth individuals in complex marital and family law matters, and she is a partner at Boyd Richards Parker & Colonnelli.
