Join Paul Petillo, Dave Kittredge and Dave Ng every week on Financial Impact Factor Radio as they to discuss everything from retirement to insurance, investing to estate planning, from getting started to preparing to stop.
In the world of personal finance, asking what's the worst that could happen is not the same as asking: "will I be able to afford this?" or "have I saved enough for retirement?"
More personal finance
If things are good, for some they won't be good enough. If it turns out that things are not so good, someone will ultimately benefit for this off-chance negativity.

on mortgages
American dream or not, the games you may have once played with financing your home are not available for the vast majority of homeowners.

The mutual fund investor has a great many more options available to them in the post-Great Recession marketplace. The question is: are they right for you as you make a retirement plan using 401(k)s or IRAs?
More on investing
We all face challenges when it comes to investing. And much has been written about the difference between men and women when it comes to this daunting task. Are women different from men when it comes to their retirement plans? We asked an expert for her take on the subject of women and investing, women and financial planning and of course, women and retirement.
Yes, it's true, there are differences in the way women approach the world of finance and investing. They differ in their search for answers, often using networks rather than traditional channels. They rely on their female cohorts to confirm what they believe.
We know that they tend to dislike the financial planners their husbands may have recruited, many leaving those services in the year after a death or divorce. We know that they are focused more broadly, looking at the impact of every decision and how it impacts their family, both children and parents - often placing themselves and their retirement plans in a distant third on that list.
On this edition of the Financial Impact Factor (with Paul Petillo, Dave Kittredge and Dave Ng) we welcome Kathleen Burns Kingsbury, a wealth psychology expert and behavioral change specialist. She teaches financial services professionals how to connect, communicate, and collaborate more effectively with their clients to increase client retention and improve profitability. She is also the author of "Creating Wealth from the Inside Out" and the forthcoming book "Women and Wealth".
