In this episode of I Date Money🗝️🌬️💖💸, Lisa Drennon sits down with Michael Scarpati, CEO and co-founder of Retire.US, to talk about financial freedom, fiduciary advice, and why most people have it all backwards when it comes to retirement planning.

🔑 Why premium financial planning shouldn’t be reserved for millionaires


💡 How to start saving for retirement—no matter your age or income


📊 The real reason most people don’t trust financial advisors (and how Retire.US fixes that)
