Older adults manage an increasing share of national wealth in the United States and other graying nations. Risky decisions by aging investors may have effects on financial markets in general but certainly those decisions can seriously hurt couples and individuals in later life. FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Association, performed an in-depth study recently to assess whether older Americans—those over 58 with far less time to recover from a market shock than younger investors-- were taking on TOO MUCH risk. And if they are taking on too much risk, they wanted to know WHY. Well today, we'll reveal the surprising outcome of the large study, and why you need to know about it. Then Medicare expert Shelley Grandidge joins us for the Q & A. A fact filled show you don't want to miss....MASTERING MONEY is on the air!!

Joe Biden, the official presidential nominee of the Democrat party, has presented a $7 trillion dollar spending proposal: He says it will UNIFY America. So… what's in it? Well, if the man from Delaware were to be elected president, he wants the federal government to spend close to $7 trillion dollars more than currently projected over the next decade on issues like health care, housing for the poor, free college, prison reform, and climate change to name only a few — as part of a sweeping presidential platform that he says will build on President Barack Obama's legacy and unite a fractured nation. The former vice president has said he will pay for these “uniting” measures with about $4 trillion dollars in tax increases on corporations, investments, and wealthy Americans. Steve and I will examine and report on the details of the plan. Then, health insurance and Medicare expert Shelley Grandidge joins us.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden finally unveiled his new “Made in America” economic plan recently. His goal was to sound very specific and clear about what a Biden presidency would focus on. But after deep analysis, a well known New York professor of economics points out that it amounts to a laundry list of vague promises to create jobs, increase federal spending by hundreds of billions of dollars annually, and raise taxes on U.S. companies with overseas operations, which would kill jobs. As the Professor says, Biden’s "Made in America" goals are doomed from the start by his own economic strategy—which he of course did not develop. As the analyst points out, if Joe Biden and his cohorts were really serious about strengthening businesses and workers here at home, his first step would be to make America the best place on earth to BUILD businesses, not a way to penalize them. But there is a whole lot more to the plan and we'll cover it today.

Many experts are telling us that the possibility of a contested election is growing due to the big push by progressively run states to send out millions of unsolicited and unverified ballots to whomever happens to be living at the address when the mail arrives. The attorney general of Michigan for example has guaranteed us that we can forget about the outcome of the presidential election being determined on November 3rd, election night. Can one state hold up the entire election? Unfortunately, the answer appears to be yes. Can Nancy Pelosi become acting president of the United States? Yes again. On today's show we will explain exactly how it could happen, according to a constitutional attorney. You don't want to miss it...MASTERING MONEY is on the air!!!

One of the simplest ways for companies to communicate financial well-being and shareholder value is to say "the dividend check is in the mail." Dividends, those cash distributions that many companies pay out regularly from their earnings to their stockholders, send a clear, powerful message about future prospects and performance. A company's willingness and ability to pay steady dividends over time – and better yet--its power to INCREASE them each year–goes a long way towards communicating its fundamental strength and sustainability to shareholders. Today, we'll reveal key methods of selecting winning dividend stocks to help you invest better. Then, insurance and Medicare expert Shelley Grandidge joins us for the Q & A.
