Working Harder AND Smarter (with Shaan Patel)

Shaan Patel is one of the best examples you'll find of a person who started with some big disadvantages but who never made excuses about his situation. Growing up in a budget motel in Las Vegas, Shaan still found a way to ace the SAT, be valedictorian of his high school class, study medicine, start a company, and land a partnership with Mark Cuban. All of this before he was 30 years old. We can't wait for you to hear his story and use it to motivate yourself to get up, do more, and achieve your dreams.

In our headlines segment, we're looking at one bill that will change the way your 401k works. Is it a positive or negative change to your retirement plan? We'll discuss ONE of the many aspects of the bill and come down...well, it depends on what you're looking for from your retirement law. Plus, in our second headline, we'll discuss one piece sent by a listener, which covers the story of one man who's being charged with multiple crimes regarding investing, securities, and exploitation of the elderly. The catch? He doesn't even have a license!

After we take some time for Doug's trivia, we'll swing around to the Haven Life Line. Biff and his family don't have any debt, and the college costs for his kids are taken care of. At what point should they stop locking away cash in an IRA?

We'll finish up with a letter from Matthew, who has some questions about a fund manager he heard about on the show. They're expenses are a bit higher than he's used to, but they've outperformed the market. Does a well managed fund justify the extra cost?
