AI Isn't Replacing Retirement Planning—It's Changing It Main segments: Market Update

Artificial intelligence is changing nearly every aspect of our lives—including our careers, earning potential, and ultimately, our retirement plans.

Together they explore how AI is transforming higher education, why AI fluency is becoming an essential workplace skill, and what that means for anyone preparing for retirement. Then Matt connects the dots between career longevity, higher lifetime earnings, Social Security timing, and retirement readiness—especially for members of the LGBTQ+ community who may have experienced career interruptions or discrimination along the way.
