How much money do you really need to retire?

As prices and inflation continue to rise, planning ahead for retirement has become even more important. But how can people assess their eventual costs and ensure they don't exceed their sources of income when the future is so difficult to predict? On this week's episode of Decoding Retirement, host Robert "Bob" Powell speaks with Jean Chatzky, host of the HerMoney Podcast, about her proven strategies to build up the savings you will rely on through your golden years. Jean discusses the importance of calculating your day-to-day costs, valuable financial tools that could provide extra income, and whether retirees can still count on Social Security to support them. Yahoo Finance's Decoding Retirement is hosted by Robert Powell.
