Ep 9: I’m about to retire…what now? — with Mark Palmer

Are you one or two years out from retirement? This episode is for you. You’ve operated with a savings mindset for decades, but for many, approaching retirement means facing an entirely new world of financial and emotional challenges. And entering this next chapter with a positive attitude could be the difference between enjoying the rewards of your hard work – or worrying your way through it. In this episode, Dr. Michael Liersch and financial planner Mark Palmer talk about the mental muscles you need to train now to prepare for the future, how to prevent feeling anchored to the short term and why it’s essential for couples to make decisions as a team.Money on Your Mind is produced by Edelman Financial Engines and hosted by Michael Liersch.
