Retirement Answer Man

#45 Can Carl Retire? See the Retirement Planning Process in Action


Listen Later

One of the most common comments I get from readers is how hard it is to get straight answers to their most important retirement planning questions. "When can I retire?" "What lifestyle can I expect?" "Will I run out of money?" What am I missing???"

Starting January 7th, I'll answer these questions for a fellow reader (Carl). You'll get to listen in as we create his retirement plan each week, culminating in a LIVE webinar where you (and Carl) will hear the results for the first time.
NOTE: check out the bottom of this post for an opportunity to plan alongside Carl
Who is Carl?

* 51 years old
* Married 27 years with a 19 year-old child
* 29-year corporate executive

What He Wants From the Plan:

* When can I get out?
* Will I run out of money?
* How do I plan for worst case scenarios?
* How do I handle healthcare?

During the webinar, you and Carl will watch LIVE as I stress test Carl's plan against the most common retirement worries:


* Bad market returns
* High inflation
* Long-term care costs
* Outliving his assets


Here's the Schedule
