Description

Today we are bringing you two mailbag questions with our incredible listeners. First, we'll be talking to Beth. She is calling in from upstate New York. Beth is in her early 60s and her company's made the decision to terminate employee pensions, which has left her with some options: Should she take the lump sum? Should she roll it over? We'll dive into some timely advice for her.

Then we'll be talking to Sarah. She is wondering how best to start a side hustle as she transitions out of her long-time career as a healthcare executive.
