Bruce Japsen, Jeff Rose, Liz Handlin and Amy Crews Cutts join me to talk about recent trends and hot topics in personal finance on the Ilyce Glink Show on October 21, 2012 at 12:00 Central Time on WSB Radio.
My weekly show always contains various forms of personal finance advice but today I have invited four really smart and engaged people to talk about some big issues facing many Americans – Medicare, retirement strategies, employment and credit.
We need a little perspective about all these topics which are playing very big right now in the presidential election. These four folks have some strong, intelligent opinions:
