Am I Ready For Retirement?


Listen Later

How do you know if you’re on the right financial track for retirement? Once you hit the midway point of your career, when you’re feeling settled enough (or maybe just exhausted enough) to start looking ahead, retirement is a good thing to start thinking about. But in this current economic climate, financial futures feel more uncertain than ever. Will your savings actually enable you to retire when you want?

If you’re worried at all about your prospects, a financial advisor is a good place to start. Lorie Jones is the owner of Fearless Financial Advisors. She takes a practical and compassionate approach to helping high-income and entrepreneurial women sort out their money questions and build financial confidence. Women are unique when it comes to job security, investing, and spending. Lorie brings both extensive education and first-hand experience to the table to offer some hard-won and practical advice.

Map out your financial future so you know where you stand today:

  • Why it’s never too early to start investing and planning;
  • The split financial focus: surviving today vs saving for tomorrow;
  • How unpaid caregiving changes women’s financial realities;
  • How to think about the threat of AI job loss.
