My guest today is Stuart Ritter who is Retirement Insights Leader at T. Rowe Price. A gifted researcher, communicator, and thought leader in the retirement industry, Stuart joins me to discuss T. Rowe Price's recently published research on retirees' spending and savings patterns, preferences, and priorities—much of which flies in the face of conventional wisdom.Listen in as Stuart shares the difference between retiree spenders versus savers, as well as the behavioral tendencies of each group. You will learn what brings people the most satisfaction in retirement, the tools T. Rowe Price has created for advisors to be in a better position to understand where an individual is in the range from spending to saving, and more.
Ep 052: In today's day and age, we're having more and more conversations with our financial planning and advisory clients that they haven't saved enough for retirement. It's tough enough to try and figure out what lifestyle you WANT and how much you can AFFORD, but we also hear continuously about how expensive healthcare is in retirement and that we should budget for that as well. Many of us have sat in that 401(k) or 403(b) meeting where we hear about retirement costs and we hear a figure that we'll need hundreds of thousands or possibly close to a million dollars to cover our healthcare costs in retirement. But is that actually true? What are RETIREES actually spending? How has that changed over time? How are we spending our retirement funds on healthcare? Perhaps healthcare costs are not as much as you think they are! Today's guest is the retirement insights leader for T. Rowe Price U.S. Intermediaries. He has served in a variety of roles related to retirement thought leadership and product development – currently helping develop the firm's expertise on major topics that impact the retirement industry. He is a frequent speaker at client and industry events as a retirement subject matter expert and serves as one of the firm's spokespersons to national media organizations. He holds an M.B.A., an M.A. in political science, and a B.S. in electrical engineering. He is a Certified Financial Planner professional; is a Series 6, 7, and 66 registered representative; and has taught personal finance as an adjunct faculty member at Johns Hopkins University.

EP 015: In this episode of The Retirement Success in Maine Podcast, we're joined by Stuart Ritter, CFP®, a Senior Financial Planner and Retirement Insights Leader at T. Rowe Price. We wanted to have Stuart on the Podcast because, aside from his over-arching knowledge of the retirement landscape, he is a thought leader on the Visualize Retirement project at T. Rowe Price. The project focuses on attaining happiness in retirement by developing a more holistic relationship with pre-retirees. The research has identified three core themes that directly impact the level of happiness in one's retirement. Be sure to tune in and hear what Stuart has to say. After all, isn't the ultimate goal to have a successful retirement is to have one full of happiness? Chapters Welcome, Stuart! [1:59] How did you find a passion for the financial service industry? [3:48] Who is T. Rowe Price and why is T. Rowe Price a great fit for you? [7:12] What is your Visualize Retirement project and what is it intended to do? [11:09] What are you finding in your studies that retirees are not doing well? [19:32] Is there a specific group that is helped more than others by this visualization? [23:56] What are the 5 W's of the project? [26:29] Of the three elements of happiness, is there one that's more impactful than the others? [34:37] What sorts of things can someone do to start doing visualization on their own? [41:10] Is it possible that two people can express a similar vision, on the surface, but as you dig deeper you find they are much different? [44:49] How would you define Retirement Success for you? [48:47] Abby, Ben, and Curtis wrap up the episode. [50:24]

Lou Harvey, president of Dalbar Inc. discussed his firm's latest survey showing that the moves investors make ultimately put them behind the market and the funds they own, noting that the problem was particularly acute in 2018 when a market downturn shaved more than 4 percent off the Standard and Poor's 500 but took more than twice that amount out of the portfolio of the average investor who made moves hoping to avoid potential losses. Also on the show, Peter Lang and Jeffrey Corliss of HighTower Advisors discuss longevity planning and financial stress tests, Eric Satz of AltoIRA discusses the use of alternative investments in retirement-savings vehicles, and Stuart Ritter of T.

Think you have enough money? If you ask our featured guest Matt Manero, lots of people are walking around assuming they have enough (or enough for now) and they couldn't be more wrong. He says there's a good chance that you NEED more money. On today's show we're talking to Matt about protecting your downside, growing your income why you do NOT have to be the boss to get ahead, and more. In our headlines segment, we turn our eyes to Tori Spelling's financial woes. Are you building good money habits? It turns out that no amount of money will ever be "enough" if you don't have a plan behind your money. In our second headline, we're talking to Stuart Ritter of T. Rowe Price. Do people that work in the gig economy pay more attention to their money than people working for "the man?" We'll have the answer to that question and more on today's headlines. We'll also answer another listener letter, throw out Doug's trivia question, and answer a Haven Life Line (plus have a bunch of fun while were at it) on today's show.
