New Year's Resolutions You Can Keep: Saving for Retirement and "Test-Driving" That Dream Job

Greetings for the New Year!

We'll begin 2008 with a month of encore presentations of The Heather Taylor Show, Boomer Radio in the Nation's Capital. Here's a preview of the next broadcast on
Wednesday, January 9, 2008 from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m.:

Sensible Strategies to Help You Save for Retirement

Saving for retirement is easier than you think. That's the encouraging message of Dallas Salisbury, President and CEO of Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI). He joins me to offer a dose of practical, demystified advice about the often complex world of preparing for saving and retirement in the Boomer bonus decades. (www.ebri.org)

"Test Driving" That Dream Job

If you've often wondered about what might have been when it comes to your own particular career path, Brian Kurth asks you to consider a vacation--a special kind of vacation. In the second half of the show, the Founder and President of Vocation Vacations Brian Kurth joins me to share his company's prescription for helping you to explore ways to make your worklife dreams come true. The key is a risk-free, "vocation vacation"--a novel approach to find out what it might be like to realize that dream, whatever it is--wine bar owner, talent agent, sports announcer, chocolatier, choreographer, architect--the sky's the limit. (His new book, Test Drive Your Dream Job: A Step by Step Guide to Finding and Creating the Work You Love has just been published by Hachette Group USA.) (www.vocationvacations.com)
