Ep 056: Today's topic is something we have touched on here and there within our podcast - Cognitive Decline as we age. We think it’s something almost everyone worries about as we age - for our spouse and ourselves! So recently, our connections at Vanguard shared with us a new Vanguard whitepaper – "The Risk of Cognitive Decline: Investors' perception and preparation". It really addresses a lot of questions that we hear daily from clients and our listeners of this show.

She has a B.A. in sociology from the University of the Philippines Los Banos, an M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology and demography from The Pennsylvania State University and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Carolina Population Center. She also authored the before mentioned whitepaper – “The Risk of Cognitive Decline: Investors' perception and preparation”, please welcome Anna Madamba, Ph.D. to The Retirement Success in Maine Podcast!
