08.11.25 Get Wise To Your Retirement Plan / Getting More For Your Money


Listen Later

Not all retirement plans are created equal. When it comes to the 403bs many teachers and non-profit workers are offered - the math is wrong. And not all 401(k)s will serve you well. Knowing how to get the most from your investments can mean WAY more money in retirement.   Also - It’s rare to find the opposite of shrinkflation, but some retailers and restaurants are filling the value gap - in buckets!
