Podcasts about Retirement planning

Why This Episode Is a Must-Watch Are you rethinking what retirement means? Forget the “end-of-the-road” narrative. Today's retirement is about launching a purposeful, fulfilling new chapter on your own terms. In this episode of Inspired Money, host Andy Wang brings together a expert panel of retirement planning, financial wellness, and lifestyle experts to share actionable strategies for creating a holistic, sustainable, and satisfying retirement. Whether you're decades away from hanging up your hat or already on your early-retirement path, this discussion will challenge how you think about mind, body, and money—and what it really takes to thrive in your next chapter.  Meet the Expert Panelists Christine Benz is Director of Personal Finance and Retirement Planning at Morningstar, where she has helped millions of investors make smarter decisions through her writing, speaking, and podcast, The Long View. She is the author of the forthcoming book How to Retire: 20 Lessons for a Happy, Successful, and Wealthy Retirement, and has been recognized by Barron's as one of the most influential women in finance.  https://www.morningstar.com   Pete Neuwirth, FSA, FCA, is a senior consulting actuary with over 35 years of experience helping Fortune 500 companies design and fund executive and retirement benefit programs. A thought leader in holistic financial wellness, he is the author of What's Your Future Worth? and Money Mountaineering, and continues to consult, write, and speak on retirement, longevity, and decision-making in a complex world.  https://neuwirthassociates.consulting  Jason Vitug is a bestselling author, wellness advisor, and storyteller who empowers people to live with purpose, financial confidence, and emotional well-being. As the author of You Only Live Once and Happy Money Happy Life, and founder of Phroogal and The Smile Lifestyle, he blends personal finance, travel, mindfulness, and self-development to inspire holistic living.  http://phroogal.com  Jordan Grumet, MD is a hospice physician, personal finance educator, and host of the acclaimed Earn & Invest podcast, where he explores the intersection of money, purpose, and meaning. He is the author of “Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor's Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life” and "The Purpose Code,” blending his unique medical and financial perspectives to inspire intentional living.  https://jordangrumet.com Key Highlights: Social Wellness: The Overlooked Retirement Strategy Christine Benz emphasizes that while most people obsess over the money piece, “relationships and social connections are a very underrated component of life satisfaction and happiness.” Long before you retire, invest as much in your social life and purpose as you do in your portfolio. The Holistic, Multi-Dimensional Approach Jason Vitug stresses the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and financial well-being: “If we let go of one area or focus too much on one dimension, that has a negative ripple effect on the others when we neglect them.” He urges proactive self-care for a genuinely fulfilling retirement, not just a financially secure one.  Planning for Risk and Flexibility Pete Neuwirth reveals that successful retirement involves more than numbers: “It's really all about managing the risks in the decumulation in the retirement phase, including sequence of returns, but also longevity, spike expense and other things like taxes.” He recommends home equity and part-time work as often-underused “buffer” assets.  Emotional Preparedness: Redefining Identity Post-Career Jordan Grumet and Christine highlight the emotional side: retirees often struggle with identity and purpose once their work routines and roles fall away. Jordan suggests revisiting childhood passions. Christine recommends testing meaningful activities in advance so retirement transitions are smoother and more joyful. Call-to-Action Here's your one thing you should do this week: Take 20 minutes to write down your vision for retirement... not just the numbers, but the life. What does a meaningful day look like? Who are you with? What are you doing? Then ask: What small step can I take now to start living that vision today? Then reverse engineer that back to your finances.  Find the Inspired Money channel on YouTube or listen to Inspired Money in your favorite podcast player. Andy Wang, Host/Producer of Inspired Money

 Three weeks ago, we dug into the details of what pet ownership can cost over the lifetime of a pet; however, those totals didn't include what fines you might get if your pet decides to run wild! We look at some cases of animals on the loose in Atlanta, including pet baboons, buffaloes, and pythons. According to the 2025 Retirement Confidence Survey, 67% of American workers feel confident in their ability to have enough money to live comfortably throughout their retirement, but that confidence is shadowed by deep concerns over potential cuts to Social Security and Medicare. We also explore shifting retirement timelines, rising health care costs, and growing demand for emergency savings solutions within retirement plans. K.C. shares the ins and outs of planning retirement with a pension—and the risks that often go overlooked, such as the lack of inflation protection to reduced survivor benefits and long-term funding concerns.  We will also discuss why some employers are shifting toward hybrid models that include a 401(k) component to help fill the gaps. After the break, we unpack the jaw-dropping strategy known as “Buy, Borrow, Die”—a legal tax loophole the ultra-wealthy use to build massive fortunes, fund lavish lifestyles, and pass on wealth to heirs nearly tax-free. It's a masterclass in how America's richest sidestep income and estate taxes, exposing the widening gap between the tax code for the few—and the one for everyone else. Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty. Henssler Money Talks — July 12, 2025  |  Season 39, Episode 27 Timestamps and Chapters10:12: Atlanta's Animals Running Wild15:43: EBRI 2025 Retirement Confidence Survey36:28: Retirement Planning with a Pension50:56: Buy, Borrow, and DieFollow Henssler:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HensslerFinancial/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/HensslerFinancial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/henssler-financial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hensslerfinancial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hensslerfinancial?lang=en X: https://www.x.com/hensslergroup  “Henssler Money Talks” is brought to you by Henssler Financial.

What if retirement planning didn't have to feel like gambling with your future? What if you could build a strategy that actually works for business owners who understand cash flow better than anyone? In this powerful live episode, Brandon and Amanda team up with Mark Willis, CFP®, Evan Greathouse, and Kristi Duncan to challenge everything you think you know about "safe" retirement planning. We're not talking about another cookie-cutter approach designed for employees with steady paychecks. This is about building what we call "the all-weather portfolio" – a three-part system that protects you from market crashes, inflation, and the seven overlooked assumptions that derail most retirement plans. Whether you're 35 or 55, if you've ever wondered whether your current retirement strategy actually matches how you live and run your business, this episode will give you clarity. We break down the math, share real examples, and show you why adding more "ART" to your portfolio might be the missing piece you've been looking for. Key Quote: "Most people have too little in the certainty portion of their portfolio. They're planning with probability when they should be planning with certainty."
