Then, Jean talks with Joanne Lipman, an award-winning journalist and bestselling author, whose latest book, Next! The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work, is about the different forms that retirement can take when we lean into self-reinvention, and the four steps to help you get there successfully.   Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners.

The SECURE 2.0 Act that passed in December 2022 has over 90 provisions to encourage more people to save for retirement. But weeding through those provisions can be daunting. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planner Isabel Barrow go through some of those changes that may have a big impact on retirees and pre-retirees, including provisions to employer matching contributions for student loan payments, 529 plans and Roth IRAs. Later, Jean and Isabel answer listener questions, like how much to withdraw annually from 401(k) plans in retirement, what to expect from Social Security in the future, and what options are available for health care coverage for retirees before age 65.   Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as hosts of the Everyday Wealth radio show and podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners.  That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses.  The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).

The concept of never retiring is more common that we might think. A recent survey by The Wall Street Journal found that some potential retirees say that they never intend to retire – not due to financial issues, but by choice, and for a wide variety of reasons. Jean and wealth planner Isabel Barrow explore what it means to never retire in this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, and the advantages to continuing working past retirement age. These can include more time to fund retirement accounts, more time for those tax-deferred accounts to compound and potentially grow, additional potential health care benefits, and more. Then, Jean interviews Rob Berger, founding editor of Forbes Advisor, YouTuber and author of Retire Before Mom and Dad, about his journey through retiring three times and why he still keeps going back to work.   Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners.

Today, it seems like we’re constantly bombarded with negative news about economic or geopolitical events – all of which can cause stress, anxiety and fear. And for some people, that fear, combined with the volatility we often see around these events, may cause them to get out of the stock market. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planners Andy Smith and Isabel Barrow talk about why that’s almost always the wrong move, and how having a long-term investment strategy can help you avoid obsessing over short-term volatility, while keeping you focused on achieving your financial goals. Then, Jean talks with David Berube, a professor of communications at North Carolina State University, about how the media often distorts events negatively using sensationalism and why they have an incentive to do so, and how to evaluate the validity of a media source and cut through all the “noise.”   Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners.
