Welcome to The Retirement Quick Tips Podcast, your daily guide to preparing for and living your best retirement. I'm your host Ashley Micciche, and this week, we're exploring the differences between Gen X & Boomers when it comes to planning for and living in retirement. For my entire career as a financial advisor, I've been focused on working with boomers, as the great wave of retiring baby boomers had just started 18 years ago when I became an advisor. But fast forward to today, and the oldest boomers, born in 1946 turn 80 this year, and the youngest of boomers, born in 1964, are now 62 (the most common retirement age for someone in the US) and eligible for social security. The vast majority of baby boomers are retired, and the next wave of retirees - Gen Xers are in the homestretch to retirement. Born between 1965 & 1980, Gen Xers are now in the homestretch to retirement. So this week, I'll talk about how these generational differences shaped how & why retirement will look differently for them

Welcome to The Retirement Quick Tips Podcast, your daily guide to preparing for and living your best retirement. I'm your host Ashley Micciche, and this week, we're exploring: The big topic of retirement withdrawals. It's such a big topic that I'm taking 2 weeks to share with you 10 principles for lasting financial security. Managing your withdrawals is key to making your money last in retirement while at the same time spending in a way that brings you happiness and satisfaction. I'll share with you what to consider as you prepare for retirement. Like nearly everything else in life, we need to measure twice and cut once. Actually when it comes to home improvement projects, my motto is measure never and put 12 extra nail holes in the wall, but I digress. So we'll talk about how to set yourself up for smart retirement withdrawals in the last few months and years before retirement, what you'll need to do around the time of retirement to get started on the right foot, and how to manage your withdrawals in retirement to balance your various financial needs and goals with the limited resources that are your retirement nest egg in order to make it last.
