Retirement Starts Today

The Power of Semi-Retirement and Work-Life Balance, Ep #301


Listen Later

Have you considered working part-time in retirement? A growing number of older adults are choosing to continue work even after reaching retirement age. While some continue work due to financial necessity, many choose work that offers fulfillment and enjoyment.

In the retirement headlines segment of this episode of Retirement Starts Today, we’ll explore the meaning and nature of work and what that could mean for your retirement. 

Make sure to stick around for the listener questions segment where we consider the pros and cons of keeping a stable value fund in a 401K while rolling over the rest of the 401K into a Roth. This is an interesting question to explore since the pros and cons have changed recently and what once were pros are now cons. Listen in to hear why.
