Have new solution to retiring abundantly AFTER THE EMBRAER 176 touched down at Chicago O’Hare, I put the draft of the manuscript I was finishing on the seat and grabbed my bag from the overhead compartment. “Wow! That’s a wonderful goal,” said the woman in seat 3D. Her comment startled me, and I wasn’t exactly sure what she meant. Until I turned around. She was pointing at the title, Retire Abundantly. To the woman in 3D, the question of how to retire abundantly was a daunting challenge. It is for many people: “Retirement” is a subject that returns 241,000,000 Google results. Two hundred and forty-one million! Our three-legged retirement system, made up of Social Security, pensions, and personal savings, has changed a lot in the past 30 years. Social Security contributes less than it used to, pensions have become 401(k)s, and personal savings aren’t what they used to be, because people are living longer. And worse, traditional financial planning techniques can make this situation worse. Pat advice that doesn’t take into account your goals and situation can cause serious damage to the happiness you should enjoy in your retirement years. No wonder the woman in 3D was struck by my title. You want answers. This podcast can deliver some.
