If you haven’t started your retirement planning yet, you’re not out of luck. Whether you’re in your twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, or sixties, there’s still time to get enough into your accounts so you can walk away from work and live life on your schedule. So, even if you’re starting late, fret not because today, we’ll walk through everything you need to know to get your retirement planning in gear! To help, The Motley Fool’s Robert Brokamp is joining us on the show!
Robert, like many of us, started looking into investing when he was too broke to afford what he needed. Afterresearching index funds, compound interest, and basic investing, Robert thought, “Why isn’t everyone taught this?” This question inevitably led him to become a CFP (certified financial planner), join The Motley Fool, run the popular “Rule Your Retirement” service, and contribute to the Motley Fool Money podcast.
Robert has been helping people reach their retirement goals for decades, and today, he’s here to help you do the same. This money masterclass will go through all aspects of retirement planning, from 401(k) contributions to individual stock vs. index fund investing, when annuities and bonds make sense for your portfolio, the future of social security, and why you may want to start spending MORE money before you retire.
