"Many people, including myself, tend to consider the bad things that might happen before considering the good outcome that is more likely to happen,” " says Paul Merriman. "That challenging state of mind requires having a "little house” plan... just in case the list of catastrophic events actually happens.  The massive loss of employment means a lot of people have experienced loss of employment for the first time in their life.  Even those who are retired, and have more than they likely need, have reason to consider what that “little house” plan looks like in retirement, as my wife and I recently discussed. On this podcast I touch on the long list of possible adjustments we can make if we have to reduce our retirement lifestyle.”

Paul also talks about new tables, developed by Daryl Bahls, that make the numbers-heavy tables easier to use. Daryl’s Tables will be shared as part of a Free Zoom presentation. See details below.
