We’ve been thinking a lot about “Peak 65” over here at HerMoney HQ. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s the fact that more people are turning 65 starting this year than at any other point in history. That’s important because this age shift is going to have a huge impact on everything, including our economy, Social Security, the upcoming election, and especially on retirement.
Anne Lester, former head of retirement solutions for J.P. Morgan Asset Management Solution Group wants everyone to know that planning for retirement doesn’t have to be so scary — it can be empowering and, yes, even fun. In her new book: “Your Best Financial Life: Save Smart Now for the Future You Want” she talks about how she finally broke free from living paycheck-to-paycheck, and was able to retire early on her terms.
In Mailbag, we hear from a listener who is wondering if they should stay at a job they don’t love for the excellent retirement benefits. In our money tip of the week, with Mint shutting down in less than two weeks, here are the other budgeting apps we recommend.
