Optimizing Retirement: It's Not All About Numbers

from Retire Repurposed · host Retire Repurposed

On this episode, we continue our series on optimizing retirement. Today, we cover the idea that retirement is not all about the numbers. Oftentimes, retirement planning becomes a game of tracking interest rates, rates of return, the stock market and net worth – and less about the human value and purpose of each person. In this podcast, Ben explains three dangers you will encounter if you make your life and retirement all about the numbers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
