Gen X is often called the ā€œforgotten generation,ā€ but when it comes to retirement planning, they may also be the most at risk. Many Xers came of age just as pensions were disappearing, making them the first generation to rely heavily on 401ks. Add in market crashes, higher levels of personal debt, and a fierce streak of independence, and you’ve got a group that faces unique challenges as retirement approaches. Today, Eric talks candidly about what makes Gen X different from previous generations and how to navigate the road to retirement.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

 🧩 Why Gen X faces unique retirement challenges

šŸ’³ The realities of debt for Gen Xers

šŸ’¼ Why 401ks started to replace pensions

šŸ“ˆ Catch-up provisions and other growth opportunities

āš–ļø Comparisons between Boomers and Gen X
