This week’s conversation brings a slightly different perspective to the table. Michelle and Eric are in their fifties and are terrified that they’ve waited too long to invest for retirement. They’ve bickered about money for twenty-five years, narrowing their window of opportunity and adding a ton of personal baggage into the equation.

What would you do to overcome the very real hopelessness that many people of their age experience? Let’s see what happens.
