212 – Retirement Planning: Balancing Today & Tomorrow
John Brandy sits down with a younger guest to discuss retirement planning in a way that’s both fun and easy to understand. They break down:
- US retirement plans – 401(k)s, IRAs, and pensions.
- International comparisons – RRSPs (Canada) & Superannuation (Australia).
- Key principles – Start early, set realistic goals, and diversify income streams.
The episode emphasizes the importance of financial balance—enjoying life today while preparing for a secure future.
Key Takeaways:
💰 Start Now – Small contributions add up over time.
🌍 Different Systems, Same Goal – No matter where you live, smart planning is key.
📈 Diversify Your Income – Multiple income sources can help you retire comfortably.
🎯 Set Goals & Celebrate Wins – Track progress and acknowledge milestones.
Memorable Insights:
💡 “Retirement planning isn’t just about saving—it’s about designing the life you want.”
💡 “Think of your 401(k) like a garden; the earlier you plant, the bigger your harvest.”
What You Can Do Next:
✔️ Explore your country’s retirement options.
✔️ Start contributing—even small amounts count!
✔️ Look for ways to create multiple income streams.
✔️ Celebrate financial wins, no matter how small.
