from Retire SMART Podcast · host Retire SMART LLC

For military members, is the blended retirement system automatically managed, or should they seek financial advice? With retirement around the corner, is it better to pay off debt, or pile up more money in my 401(k)? And should I invest my saved up $50,000 in cash, or with all the news of a market correction coming, should we wait for the right moment? David Brooks has answers to these questions in today’s Q&A episode.
