Nine to Grow On

Retirement Planning

The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and many other publications turn to Ed Slott as an authority on managing personal finances. The money expert, who has written five bestsellers, returns to Nine PBS on Monday, March 12 at 8:30 p.m. with a new special, Ed Slott’s Retirement Rescue!

With clear, practical explanations of the decisions you have to make to create personal wealth and enjoy retirement on your own terms, Slott defines the monumental fiscal problems facing Americans and provides a step-by-step solution to creating a plan of action. He uses the “Slott formula” of humor, personal stories and detailed facts from the tax code to make his points. Slott discusses how to avoid the “Five Silent Retirement Killers”: taxes, risk, saving money, uncertainty and inactivity. Taxes, says Slott, are the single biggest obstacle standing between you and your retirement money. Risk is inevitable, but can be dealt with through proper planning. Saving

money costs money if you don’t stash your cash in the right place. Uncertainty, that is, not knowing how or what to invest, leads to the final retirement killer, doing nothing at all. Slott shows how to win by not losing so you can rescue your retirement right now and proves that you are in control of your retirement dreams.

Ed Slott will help you retire with more money.

“Taxes, says Slott, are the single biggest obstacle standing between you and your retirement money.”

The Cat-in-the-Hat-a-Thon

Seventy-five years ago when Theodor Seuss Geisel published his first children’s book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, he guaranteed for decades the literacy of children drawn to reading by his silly rhymes and captivated by his happy colors. Simply by being born, Dr. Seuss gave kids another reason to celebrate. Every year, the National Education Association (NEA) selects March 2, Seuss’ birthday, for their annual Read Across America day. Nine PBS joins Dr. Seuss’ 108th birthday party on Friday, March 2 at 7:00 a.m. by broadcasting The Cat-in-the-Hat-aThon, a two-hour marathon of four episodes of The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! Two brand-new episodes are part of the marathon: Seasons—Spring and Summer/Fall and Winter and When I Grow Up/Doing It Differently. Grab a party hat and lift a glass of morning orange juice with us to celebrate reading, Dr. Seuss and The Cat.
