We're bringing in certified financial planners and other professional advisors. Give us a call. Ask a question. Get some help. It's free. And this group, all members of the Financial Planning Associations of Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade, they're the experts.

A fixed annuity is as good as the insurance company backing it. So long as they company stays afloat, the annuity is safe.

You've got the job of managing your money. No one in school taught you how. But you and I, we can teach each other, how to handle it, how to save for retirement, how to make money last, how to educate the kids, how to make a budget work. The conversations I have with my readers are fun. Money's important, but discussing it does not have to be boring.
