Fred and Wilma in Denver are 33 and 31, earning a small fortune, but sitting on nearly two million dollars in debt. Should they focus on paying it down faster or saving more? Jeremy, in Summerville, South Carolina, is 42 with a hefty military pension. Is that his green light to go all-in on stocks for the next 20 years? And finally, Saver and Spender in Saratoga Springs, New York are 41 and 42 and hoping an early exit. Can part-time work can carry them through their gap years? Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA spitball for all of them, today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 601.
