Today, this is our last segment of this series. I want to again focus on the topic of death. But this one, frankly, more seriously. It's more a current topic than what we've covered so far this week. Today, I want to talk about the survivor, particularly widows and widowers.

3/13/23: The Future of Marriage
It's Monday, March 13th. Thanks for joining me. This podcast, as you know, is devoted to telling you about the future. And normally that means I'm talking about technological innovation, exponential technology in particular. But these aren't the only reasons that our future is changing. It's not just because of technological innovation. Society itself is changing as well.

3/10/23: Which do Fraudsters Prefer: Cash or Crypto?
It's Friday, March 10th. And I want to ask you a question. Does anybody use Bitcoin for anything other than illegal activities? You'd be amazed how many people make that claim that the only purpose of Bitcoin is illicit activity. They use it for drug money or for terrorist financing, or just for outright hacking and thievery. It's nonsense. And I've got the proof right here.

3/9/23: ‘Sacre Bleu!’ How the French are Reacting to their Retirement Problem
Welcome to the 100th episode of The Truth About Your Future podcast. I've been doing radio for 32 years and in January a year ago, we converted the radio show into this new daily podcast. I'm excited that you're still with me on this journey and I'll now shift from looking backward to the start of this podcast - January of 2022 - to the future, and I want to share with you what the future of retirement in America looks like. And unfortunately, it's not pretty.

3/8/23: Why America’s Love Affair with Cars is Ending
It's Wednesday, March 8th. Earlier this week, for a couple of days, I was telling you about the absurdity of the Social Security system, referring to full retirement age, when in fact it has nothing to do with being full at age 66. I said that what the Social Security system needs to do is get rid of the term full. Well, guess what? Four senators have now just introduced legislation that would indeed change the language used by the Social Security Administration. Under their bill, full retirement age would no longer be called full. It will now be called standard benefit. Age 62 would be called the minimum benefit and age 70, the maximum benefit exactly the way it ought to be.
