Episode Description

When was the last time you checked your beneficiaries on your retirement account? After listening to today's episode, I guarantee you'll be logging in to verify.

In the retirement headlines segment, we'll check out a Yahoo Finance article titled "They Broke Up In 1989, But Now His Ex-Girlfriend Is Inheriting His $1 Million Retirement Account After Nearly 40 Years." How's that headline for clickbait? It certainly got me to click!

Make sure to stick around to hear how a reverse mortgage could play a part in your retirement planning.
