is not in your best long-term interest, it's probably not a great idea to focus on it as much. >> obviously, people may be in the early 30s, they may not be too worried about that. but if you are in your 60s already, nearing retirement, probably should look closely. what are things that people are closer to retirement should be doing now? >> what you put your finger on it something that is really important. no matter where you are in your retirement journey, what is your time horizon? so, if you're in your 50s or 60s, you are not balanced, closer to retirement, that will affect how you diversify your assets, what your risk appetite is. so, definitely a different position vs. somebody who's in their early 20s or 30s. they would have decades on their side. they would have the most powerful attribute that any of us will ever get, which is time. if you're investing now in your 20s or 30s, it's entirely

possible that, in the bear market that we're experiencing, the money you put in will be the most impactful dollars you will ever invest, because they're going to be going in at a low price, and growing over, in some cases, years or decades, ultimately giving you that really green nest egg. >> i got a lot to say. we talked about a lot. you can watch the full interview right now, or after "today in the bay, then john rocha, amazon fire tv, and download the free nbc bay area at . 6:37 on a friday morning. time to check the weekend forecast, because it's here, and it's an extended one for a lot of us. >> yes. looking for things to do to enjoy the holiday weekend. we have them in marin county today. temperatures, upper 60s with sunscreen needed, even though it will be very warm. all of the sunshine may have you out there a lot longer because it will be comfortable. we also have a food festival

>> in saudi arabia, but it's not about saudi arabia. it's in saudi arabia. and so, there is no commitment that's being made -- i'm not even sure -- i guess i will see the king and the crown prince. but that's not the meeting i'm going to. they will be part of a much larger meeting. in other news, the supreme court and the term yesterday, and we haven't discussed this, but get ready for the next term. the course, accepting a case other states kindle and election laws made by state legislatures this is big, because state legislatures, ruled by one party, could create new rules in their own favor for presidential elections, and the state course would be able to stop them. we will talk more about that in the fall. a tough week with cassidy hutchison testifying on

that conversation, a lot of people were talking about different questions on social media. what do you call it when you cook on a grill? 52.3% say, grill. i will not complain, as long as you have the file. >> i invited you over. >> he didn't charge me! i can't complain about that i can call and say, marcus, bring some ice? >> yeah. >> he can even have his own bottle. i know what he likes to drink. when my parents visit from l.a., they are going to have me text you and say, come on over for a cardio sauna. >> that sounds good. >> get it on the grill. >> there it is. >> and it's actually a cooler weekend for us? yeah, kuehler, but not so much swimming this weekend, because temperatures coming out. let's get a live look outside, looking pretty nice and quiet
