This week on the Chapter X podcast, our friend Richard Eisenberg is back with an update on his own retirement. He also discusses some of the latest top stories and podcasts to check out, including some suggested books to read.

 

Richard is almost a year into what he calls “unretirement.” In this chapter, he’s stayed busy writing a column for MarketWatch, contributing to digital platform Next Avenue, and co-hosting the Friends Talk Money podcast.

• Which part of ‘unretirement’ Richard is enjoying the most
• Three new stories about aging to watch out for
• Why it pays to delay claiming social security benefit (if you can)
