On this week’s episode of The Foreigner’s Finances Podcast I talk with one of the few full-time personal finance bloggers, PT, from PTMoney.com.
PT recently wrote a post for U.S. News and Yahoo! called the 5 Reasons Your Are Not Saving Enough for Retirement.
During our conversation we talk about this article and how you can properly prepare yourself for retirement in your 20s and 30s to make your life financially easier down the road. PT also tells us about PT Money’s transformation to a full-time blog and explains what it means to be a marathon completer.
