Dear Ken and Daria,

My husband and I are 62. We are debt- and mortgage-free. Our savings, however, are not as high as we’d like. What can we do to make sure we still have money for when we retire in a few years?

Dear Ken and Daria,

I have some credit card debt and have been approached by a debt-reduction company, which says it can reduce my debt 60%-70%. Is this the best way to do it, or should I go to a nonprofit credit counseling firm instead?
