Welcome back to a new year or Retirement Starts Today Radio! Just as you have been envisioning your retirement, I’ve been envisioning exciting new things for this podcast. 

This year we are kicking off a couple of new additions to the show that I’m particularly excited about. After the retirement headlines, we’ll have our new Lead Financial Advisor, Bret, join us as an occasional co-host for the listener questions segment. In addition to our original segments, you’ll hear from listeners like yourself in our new personal development segment. 

On this episode, you’ll hear the latest news on the Social Security front, I’ll answer a question about the best investment options for mid-term investments in a retirement portfolio, and one listener, Frank, will describe how he is investing in his health to improve his retirement. Make sure to stick around until the end to hear the latest addition to your second favorite retirement podcast!
