Whatever life after 50 looks like to you, thinking about money in retirement shouldn’t keep you up at night. We’re all dealing with the big questions about money and aging: How much you can really spend, how to invest your life savings without risking it all in the stock market, and should you sell your home and downsize? Then there’s the biggest unknown: how much health care you’ll need, and whether your savings and insurance is enough to cover the costs. This is personal. These topics may not be easy to talk about with your own family. That’s why nationally known personal finance experts Terry Savage, Richard Eisenberg, and Pam Krueger and are here to open up the dialogue so you can learn how to define your retirement and deal with your money on your own terms.
These three friends think, write, and speak about these issues. And now they’re joining forces to give you the benefit of their experience, wisdom and advice in their new podcast, Friends Talk Money.
Each week Richard, Pam and Terry will discuss a different piece of the retirement pie. Everything from Social Security and Medicare to investing and cash flow management is on the table, with practical, common-sense advice on how to deal with these and other challenges.
But don’t expect cut-and-dried answers. These friends have strong opinions, and aren’t afraid to debate the pros and cons of their friends’ recommendations. But what you will walk away after each episode is a greater awareness of the retirement planning issues you’ll need to address with the help of your family, friends and financial advisor.

Customer Reviews
Great content but the hosts interrupt too much.
Your episodes are filled with great content. However, two of the hosts interrupt and talk over the guests way too often. It’s rude and it’s disruptive to those who are trying to listen to the podcasts. I appreciate the hosts’ enthusiasm, but their interrupting behavior is getting to be too much.

I would like to listen to this more often…
… but co-host Terry Savage is too aggressive in her giving her take on finance—it’s like she is shouting at you to do what she says. Pam and Richard are fine, but Savage steam rolls over conversations and makes it unpleasant to listen to the show. It’s a shame because I’ve gotten a lot of great insight from this podcast.
