I also understand that in the statistically likely event I become disabled before I die, I will become destitute. So what's to think about?

I would like to say I really enjoyed listening to you on WNYC, but truth to tell, it made me appropriately uncomfortable, as did the post above. These pesky gender issues do persist, don't they? I actually wrote, as a goal, that this was the year to become more mindful of my money, and it certainly sounds as if your book will help. Wouldn't it be remarkable if we could make talking about money really sexy? I think about this nearly every time I read a so-called women's magazine, filled with pages of pages of stuff we're supposed to buy, and scant pages on how we're supposed to earn the money to buy the stuff in the first place. (It's certainly not exclusive to women's magazines, as I'm sure you know, but that's my corner of the world.) Off to read your book. I'm looking forward to it. Great post.
