Ep #144 - Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

from A/B Conversations: CFP® Your Way Out Of It – Real Advice on Building Wealth & Retirement Planning · host Benjamin Haas I Haas Financial Group

Remember the hit game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”—in 1998, that prize was worth only ~$500k in today’s dollars and in the early 1900s, the phrase to “feel like a million bucks” would mean having over $7 million today. While more Americans than ever now hold millionaire status, the buying power of that milestone has shrunk dramatically thanks to inflation and rising costs for housing, healthcare, and retirement. Listen to Adam and Ben unpack why $1 million may no longer guarantee the lifestyle you think, how inflation and psychology shape our money goals, and how to figure out what’s truly “enough” for you.Ticket # T009712Thanks for listening!If you want to be notified when the next episode will be released, you can:Subscribe to the ShowFor more insights on everyday financial planning questions,  go to www.haasfinancialgroup.comContact Us:Email us at [email protected] advice offered through Great Valley Advisor Group, a Registered Investment Advisor.
