Many professionals are not financially astute, and they have no idea how to manage their money or prepare for retirement. Dr. Dahle discusses how to manage the financial jump from living on a low-income to becoming a high-salaried professional. If you live a long life, will you run out of money? Many retirees’ biggest worry is that they will outlive their savings. Douglas Goldstein, CFP®, director of Profile Investment Services Ltd., shares tactics for preparing financially for a long life, so that you will always be able to pay your bills.
