I retired at 59 and glad I did. Never read any books or watched videos about retirement. Just burned out at the job. A lot of people in my position said retiring was the best decision they ever made and I totally agree with them.
Christine Benz is a great guest; definitely sharing this with my 65 year old mom. This is very insightful even for those of us in our 30s . It’s good to prepare yourself for Retirement & how you would enjoy that phase of one’s life . This is very vital information for All!!!
If you don't have hopes and aspirations, you'll fear retirement. Have a purpose and do what you've always wanted to do, and you won't fear retirement. 💪👊
Interesting how the top concern at 59% was "long-term care". That's one thing I don't worry about due to Medicaid being there if I were to ever run out (but I won't.)
So burnt out... need to work 2-3 more years... At work I'm so busy I don't think about it. . But every morning and every evening I just want to be over
Consuelo, thanks for your educational material on financial matters in retirement. What has surprised me is my income. For years I did everything I could to increase my income. Now I am looking for ways to decrease my income. I have sold all of my high dividend paying stocks and mutual funds and look for capital appreciation not ordinary income. I have been introduced to MAGI and paying a premium for my Medicare Part B premiums removed the good taste of income to the bidder pill of socialism.
she ignores a huge part of the population and seems only to address those who are like herself…much of the population weren’t able to save a nest egg the size of what she is referring to and even those who do have a nest egg don’t have near what she assumes the audience has..I guess the word retirement isn’t for everyone these days and in fact is now a luxury term..

Agreed Christine : " it's not complicated ".

Sounds like many people got value out of this. For me, I’m much more interested in the investment side of the equation....not the planning side.

Is the 'retirement guru' retired? Or nah?
This comment made me 😂. For real though
Retirement guru?! That's a stretch !

I actually find her advice making retirement more frightening..
1000%. All of her “advice” is for marrieds with savings.
Thanks!
