We've gotten really good at teaching people how to save for retirement. But almost nobody teaches you what to do the day you stop earning and have to start spending. That's the gap Jean set out to close in her new book, The Forever Paycheck: The New Retirement Strategy to Spend More, Worry Less and Never Run Out of Money, and on this episode, HerMoney Chief Content Officer Kathryn Tuggle turns the mic around and interviews Jean about it. In this episode, you'll learn: What a "forever paycheck" actually is, and how it fills the gap between Social Security and what your life will cost The surprising research on why retirees with a pension spend twice as much as those with the same money in a 401(k) How much of her own portfolio Jean is annuitizing, and how she decided on that number The one exercise Jean says is the best way to get comfortable with spending in retirement And if you've already read The Forever Paycheck, leave a review on Amazon and send Jean a screenshot at [email protected]; you'll be entered to win a signed copy.

Most of us pictured our lives as a straight line: high school, college, a job, marriage, a house, kids…one milestone after another. Then life happened. A divorce. A layoff. A move. A pandemic. This week, Jean Chatzky goes solo to make the case that a messy, non-linear life isn't a failure; it's just what a normal life actually looks like. In this episode, you'll learn: The "5 Ws and an H": six questions to ask before you retire How to apply design thinking to your own retirement plan Why the real risk in retirement isn't running out of money, but never spending the money you worked so hard to save Want a signed copy of The Forever Paycheck?

Do you feel like you're middle class? You might not be. Pew Research shows the U.S. middle class has shrunk from 61% of households in 1971 to closer to half today. So what does building wealth actually look like for regular people right now? This week, Jean sits down with Joel Larsgaard, co-host of the How To Money podcast, to talk about building wealth as a normal person, no finance degree or trust fund required. Joel opens up about the money struggles that shaped his childhood and led him into personal finance, then breaks down his "craft beer equivalent" philosophy: identifying the handful of things worth spending real money on, so you can cut back guilt-free everywhere else. In this episode: Why fewer Americans are middle class than they think Joel's "craft beer equivalent" approach to spending How to handle "funflation" without going into debt Simple, specific investing advice for DIY investors We're giving away signed copies of Jean’s new book, The Forever Paycheck!

The S&P 500 is on pace for a fourth straight year of double-digit gains, something that's only happened once before since 1928, and that last time ended with the dot-com crash. So naturally, a lot of us are wondering: is this too good to be true? Jean sits down with friend of the show Karen Finerman, co-founder and CEO of Metropolitan Capital Advisors and longtime panelist on CNBC's Fast Money, to talk through what this run really means, and what (if anything) you should be doing about it. They get into: What even counts as a "good" economy when companies are growing by doing more with fewer people Why Karen refuses to try to time the market The stocks and sectors she's excited about right now Her simple, no-frills advice for anyone just trying to keep their 401(k) on track Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, send a screenshot to [email protected], and you’ll be entered to win a signed copy of Jean's new book, The Forever Paycheck!
