On this episode of Millennial Debt Domination, Katie highlights financial planning for your retirement. 

Even though retirement may seem far off for Millennials and Gen Z, it’s important to start saving while you’re young. Between student loan and other debts and trying to build your emergency fund, you might neglect your retirement savings entirely because it seems so far away. However, now is the time you should start saving for your retirement. This is because of the magic of compound interest. By saving now, you’ll watch your retirement fund compound over the years.

Today, Katie will be discussing this as well as all things retirement. She will be joined by Anne Lester. Anne is a retirement expert who was the head of retirement solutions at JP Morgan Asset Management and she is the author of ‘Your Best Financial Life.’ Anne and Katie will be discussing how to save for retirement, social security, diversifying your portfolio, and much more.
