Episode notes

Saving for retirement can be a challenging task. It is difficult enough for some people to cover their living expenses, and there's little to no money left to put aside for retirement. For others, the challenges include figuring out how much to save and where to put the money so it earns high interest. Hence, many have resorted to traditional retirement plans like 401(k)s and IRAs. But is this really the path to enjoying life after you stop working, or have you fallen for the retirement trap? What options do you have?

In response to the requests to bring back the BYOB series, Russ and Joey continue their book review, and today they discuss a topic that every working person should pay attention to–the retirement trap!

This episode is Part 13 of an 18-Part Series.
