Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial

On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian explore a simple phrase that could mean the difference between financial freedom and struggle: “the sooner the better.” They unpack new data around Gen X’s looming retirement crisis and what it means to be the first generation largely retiring without pensions. Then, they dive into a compelling new study showing how saving—not spending—could be the true key to financial happiness. Plus, career expert Julie Bauke joins to dissect “the executive dilemma”—when a promotion might not actually be the best next move. Finally, Bob and Brian answer real listener questions on managing capital gains, tapping into dividends, and planning for long-term care.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
