Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#267 Rob Luna - 50-Year Mortgages, Government Band-Aids, AI Job Cuts and the Middle Class
Q: If 50 years old, the company I work for is closing, with eight months severance pay and a little over $100,000 in this 401k, how can I set myself up to retire and cover expenses till I can draw my military?
Rob suggests that with $100,000, people usually see about $5,000 to $6,000 annually in income, which may not suffice. He encourages continuing to work, especially at 50, as many will likely not retire at this age.
#268 Mike Waltz - Special Forces Green Beret Turned UN Ambassador Warns About China

The Chinese Communist Party and its intentions to surpass the U.S. economically and technologically.
