The Show:

Think about the last time you boarded a plane and took off for another destination. You probably didn’t consider it at the time, but that flight can teach you a lot about your retirement plan.

There are many comparisons between the two, and we’ll identify a few on this episode of Your Money & Your Life. Don Cash will walk us through some of the key elements to flying and explain how you can take those lessons and apply them to your plan. There’s a lot to learn from pilots in order to reach our final destination in retirement.

We’ll also answer a mailbag question from a listener that’s approaching retirement and worried about a possible market crash in the next six months. Does she have a legitimate concern?

And we’ll finish the show as we always do, by asking a question for Don that will help us get to know him a little better.
