Money Mastermind Show

We're told that there are certain financial milestones we're supposed to reach in order to be successful. Some of the main financial milestones considered "normal" include college, marriage, buying a home, having children and retirement.

Do you have to reach all of those milestones, though? How do you decide which milestones should be part of your own life? In this episode, recorded on our one-year anniversary, a crew of past guests join us to talk about milestones, money and how to plan for the life you want to live.

Show Notes: http://moneymastermindshow.com/episode49/

Some important questions discussed in this episode:

Do you really need to hit all the traditional financial milestones you're expected to reach?

How do you decide which milestones really matter?

Why are you working toward certain financial milestones anyway?

What are the strategies you can use to reach the milestones that are important to you?

Don't just go along with financial and life expectations because you're expected to. Think about what matters to you, and create a plan to help you accomplish what's most important to you.

The three-legged retirement stool is broken. You can't rely on Social Security and the pension system isn't fool-proof. All that's left is your own savings.

We're joined by Andrew Meadows from BrokenEggsFilm.com, a documentary about the looming retirement crisis in America. We talk about how we got to this point and what you can do to shore up your own retirement. We also wade into the murky waters of public policy and try to figure out what can be done to fix the retirement system.

Show Notes: http://moneymastermindshow.com/episode48/

Some important questions discussed in this episode:

Why are we facing a retirement crisis in the United States?

Will you be able to rely on Social Security for your future?

What are some of the changes that are likely to affect you in terms of saving for retirement?

Are there policy solutions that might make sense to fix retirement?

What strategies can you use to protect your own retirement?

Get real about your retirement. The "traditional" retirement is long gone. Instead, you need to focus on the realities of your situation and figure out how you can prepare for the best possible result for you. No one will do it for you.
