Okay, this may go down as the worst advice given in 2020! An emailer was told by his "advisor" that they should be "hiding" their assets inside an annuity so they'll be able to qualify for financial aid. Folks, sometimes you can't make it up.

If there’s ever a time to disconnect and take a breath, this is it. With all the non-stop zoom videos and conference calls, it’s very easy to feel overwhelmed and worn out. Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. They can get lost in a good book, a woodworking project, or a leisurely morning run. They don't experience "fear of missing out" because they already know which activities provide them meaning and satisfaction. Man oh man, that is music to my ears! That’s why I’m so excited to re-run our interview with Cal Newport who was in-studio a while back to talk about his latest book, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World.

Two-thirds of the nation's wealth is owned by the richest five percent of Americans, while at the same time more than 38 million Americans live in poverty. The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer has been the story of economic inequality for the last 50 years, and COVID-19 appears set to continue the trend. I joined CBS Sunday Morning with a look at the downside, and what one business figure calls the upside, of income disparity. Have a money question? Email me here.

This Labor Day weekend we have a three part interview with Roger Ferguson, President and Chief Executive Officer of TIAA, the leading provider of retirement services in the academic, research, medical, and cultural fields and a Fortune 100 financial services organization. Mr. Ferguson is the former Vice Chairman of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System.  He represented the Federal Reserve on several international policy groups and served on key Federal Reserve System committees, including Payment System Oversight, Reserve Bank Operations, and Supervision and Regulation.  As the only Governor in Washington, D.C. on 9/11, he led the Fed’s initial response to the terrorist attacks, taking actions that kept the U.S. financial system functioning while reassuring the global financial community that the U.S. economy would not be paralyzed. We did this interview right before things shut down in March, but because we thought it was so good we didn't want to waste it!  Have a money question? Em
