David welcomes Jolene Dixon, District Manager for the Bloomington Social Security Administration office, back to the airwaves this week.

Jolene was last on the show in April 2025 - before the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and a government shutdown. She's back to share what's new with Social Security, give you some things to consider when planning for your financial future and what happens when you apply for benefits. David will also have some real-life situations to share with listeners as well.

This week David is back in the studio, and there is much to talk about as January wraps up. David welcomes Rod Holloway from CFCI to the program to discuss tariffs and market fluctuation, as well as what's going on with Greenland and Europe - and the possible impact on the American economy.

David will also share about the great wealth transfer that is coming over the next several years - including the real estate transfers from Baby Boomers to their children and grandchildren.

Plus - you'll hear the first-hand stories from David's trip to Miami to watch the Hoosiers play in the National College Football Championship game! 

Happy New Year! David is back in the 98.7 The Zone studio this week to recap 2025. Doug Hughes will be joining him for the conversation regarding President Donald Trump's year, tariffs, geopolitics, national and global economies, artificial intelligence and more.

Oh, and some love for the IU Football team as well.

Also, if retirement is in your sights for 2026, David will offer some tips to "get ready to get ready." 

This week David welcomes his father, Jerry Hays, back into the studio for their annual year-end program. David and Jerry will talk about real estate and banking (both fields Jerry has worked in), how to do retirement right and share some holiday cheer.

David will also be discussing holiday shopping for Gen Z, the Affordable Healthcare Act and what's going on with it and much more. 

This week David brings the final Q&A show for 2025, with some year-end thoughts and suggestions for 2026 as well.

This week David welcomes back David McKnight, podcaster and author of "The Power of Zero."

David McKnight is a passionate advocate for tax planning, and he will bring that enthusiasm to the show. The conversation will focus on the benefits of Health Savings Accounts, Roth IRA conversions, target date funds for retirement planning and what he sees for the future of taxes in America over the next decade. You'll enjoy the conversation between the two Davids - tune in! 

With the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, this week's show will only air on Saturday, November 29 before being available online.
