To help you celebrate Labor Day in the USA, mom said we should do something constructive...so we're bringing you FIVE money moves from both Joe and OG that you should take action on RIGHT NOW. it's an epic list that we're sure you'll enjoy.

Also, in our headline segment, we tackle an article about mastering the IRA rollover process--or better yet, when to avoid it. In the letters segment we take a question from Jason who wants to know about using the Roth option in his workplace plan.

With the Olympics just finished we decided to ask our panel (including special guest Linda P. Jones) how to manage money like an Olympian. Of course, their answers are surprising, fun, and full of insights nobody expected. We also tackle an investment strategy that just might be a little bit of a stretch AND a letter to the Moneyologist at Marketwatch. How should a man talk to his new spouse whom he suspects is taking advantage of him and his financial situation?
