Meet Mark
Mark and Mary met on a dating site–he was drawn to her because she seemed comfortable, interesting, and loved dogs. They dated for a year before Mark proposed then jumped right in and bought a house together soon after getting married. Now they’re trying to figure out the rest of the story.
Since Mark is analytical, loves spreadsheets, and is a Retirement Answer Man listener, he’s already got a retirement plan of record in place. Listen in to learn Mark’s intentions for this Retirement Plan Live. Make sure to stick around until the end to hear my chat with Dr. Bobby Dubois about the pros and cons of broad-spectrum testing.
