Retire Hoppy

When markets take a steep dive and enter into correction territory, even seasoned investors experience FUD – fear, uncertainty and doubt. Today we offer our ideas on what to do under three scenarios: Roy's case where he needs to sell in order to pay expenses; my case where I place my riskier investments out of harm's way by using a bucket strategy' and the case of someone retiring into a down market.

Our beer segment features Roy's selection - Hop Rising, a double IPA from Salt Lake City's Settler's Brewing.

Jackie Cummings Koski author of Money Letters 2 My Daughter is preparing to retire early to pursue her dream of teaching financial literacy. Jackie explains how the iconic $2 bill kick started her savings habit which eventually helped her achieve Financial Independence.

In our beer segment Jackie describes how she chose Sam Adams White Christmas from a field of four contenders. Since Roy and I could not find White Christmas where we are, we had Jackie take us through the tasting process. And before we wrapped up we had a little surprise for her.

Work is not only a means of income. It's also a major source of personal identity. Not surprisingly, many struggle with discontentment after they retire. What are we to do―individually and as a culture―when work and life experience make conventional retirement a burden rather than a reprieve? To find out we turn to U of Toronto assistant professor Michelle Pannor Silver who examines how we confront the mismatch between idealized and actual retirement in her book Retirement and Its Discontents.

Then, Michelle, a self-admitted non-beer drinker, throws caution to the wind and joins us in our beer segment. We taste her beer choice Molson Canadian which honors our neighbors to the north and reminds me of my days growing up in WNY.

John Wycoff is not your typical octogenarian. He defies ageist stereotypes of retired people slowing down, with nothing left to contribute to society. What drew me to John was not any one thing. Rather it was how many things he's involved with: social media, his website Retired Now What, his YouTube channel, podcast and his various entrepreneurial endeavors. I invite you to listen and reflect on the experience of someone whose spirit and drive has not wavered to this day.

In our beer segment, Roy and I go it alone. And to honor John, who does not drink, we try the best non-alcoholic beer substitute we've run across – Hop Water from Lagunitas.

When Gina was growing up, spending was an accepted and expected way of life. Unfortunately those habits resulted in the accumulation of considerable credit card and student debt. It wasn't until she found her dream house with the perfect kitchen that Gina converted to a frugal lifestyle, one that she shares via her popular blog the frugal convert.

And even though she's not a beer drinker, Gina graciously agreed to join us in our beer segment. The beer I selected for her is an excellent Oktoberfest from Sierra Nevada and Germany's Weihenstephaner.

Studies have shown that the trajectory of happiness over the course of one's life resembles a U. But Roy and I think that it might also be possible that it looks like a J or even a W.

In our beer segment, we are excited to try a brand new beer style – a brut ipa which is dry and effervescent - as close to champagne as beer can get. Sorry Miller High Life

Today's show marks the start of season 2 of the RH podcast. In it Roy and I break down our top 5 tips that can help you have a really good retirement.

In our beer segment I talk about my recent trip to Oregon which is known not only for its craft beer but also its production of a key ingredient – hops. Then we taste Modus Hoperandi an American IPA from Ska brewing out of Durango CO.

Andrew Erikson did not set out to be an entrepreneur. But that changed when he determined that he could make a gift for a friend faster and cheaper than if he bought it. His friend loved the gift so much Andrew wondered if there might be a bigger opportunity. To find out he created beer cap country which is so successful that Andrew was able to quit his regular full time job last October.

In our beer segment we talk about Andrew's home brewing experience, what's it like to live in the craft beer mecca of San Diego and we taste his beer selection Belching Beaver Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout.
