Fidelity Investments’ 2015 Couples Retirement Study finds a disconnect between couples on finances and retirement planning issues. The study shows that 43-percent of respondents don’t know how much their partner makes. Tulane University Business Professor, Dr. Mark Rosa, says that doesn’t surprise him. He says when you talk about pay, it can get complicated rather quickly…
The survey also shows that 48-percent of respondents have no idea how much money they need to save to maintain their current lifestyle in retirement. Rosa says there is no excuse to not know how much money you need for retirement since there are free online tools that will show you if you’re on the right course…
Although these numbers do not come as a shock to him, Rosa says people should more interest in their finances because, after all, it is your own money…

There are many people who do not think Governor Bobby Jindal has much of a chance to win the Republican Presidental nomination, but ULM Political Science Professor John Sutherlin says Jindal can emerge as one of the favorites. Jindal is the 13th announced Republican candidate but he can distingish himself by telling American voters that as Governor he didn’t raise taxes , he reduced the size of the budget and reformed ethic laws.
A recent poll showed that Jindal is less popular in Louisiana than Democratic President Barack Obama. But Sutherlin says that will not matter on the Presidential campaign trail.
Sutherlin says if Jindal is competitive in the Iowa caucus and in the New Hampshire primary that could lead to a really good showing in South Carolina. He says Jindal has a history of being a good campaigner.

Two former LSU basketball players are expected to be selected in tonight’s NBA draft. Former Tiger hoops star and current color analyst on the LSU Sports Radio Network, Ricky Blanton, says Jarrell Martin and Jordan Mickey coudl be selected late in the first round, but he says Martin’s stock has fallen since he’s not participated in a lot of five-on-five and three-and-three workouts
Martin is six-foot-ten, 240 pounds and averaged nearly 17 points and nine rebounds a game last season. But Blanton says another thing going against Martin is that it’s hard to say what position he’ll play in the pros
Most mock drafts have Mickey as a second round pick. But Blanton says Mickey’s stock has been on the rise, because of good pre-draft workouts and NBA scouts appreciate his skill set…
