Why Your Parents Retired Happier Than You Will

The world is a different place today than it was for my parents.

During their working years, they made less money than I make. Yet they retired at an earlier age, their retirement income was higher, their retirement expenses were lower and their overall retirement security was more assured.

What happened?

In this week’s “Money” podcast, we’re going to talk about why my parents, and probably yours, had an easier time preparing for retirement than we will and, more important, how we can overcome the odds and have plenty of gold for our golden years.

As usual, I share the broadcast booth with longtime financial journalist and fellow podcaster Miranda Marquit.

Sit back, relax and give it a listen!

Not familiar with podcasts?

A podcast is basically a radio show you can listen to anytime, either by downloading it to your smartphone or other device, or by listening online.

They’re totally free. They can be any length (ours are typically just under a half-hour), feature any number of people and cover any topic you can possibly think of. You can listen at home, in the car, while jogging or, if you’re like me, when riding your bike.

You can listen to our latest podcasts here or download them to your phone from any number of places, including Apple, Spotify, RadioPublic, Stitcher and RSS.

If you haven’t listened to a podcast yet, give it a try, then subscribe to ours. You’ll be glad you did!
