Planning for retirement is a big deal, and it does take some time, strategy, and intentional action, especially if you’re in or nearing your fifties! Unfortunately, most people spend more time planning their yearly 1-2 week vacations than they do their 30+ year retirement. Then, the “How much money do you need to retire?” question starts to feel overwhelming and confusing. It doesn’t have to be that way. With Danette Lowe and the Ready to Retire podcast, you can take small, simple steps now that will go a long way toward planning an epic retirement.

Maybe you want to find out if you’ve saved enough and if you can retire in the next few years, or maybe you have just moved or are considering changing careers and are curious about your 401K, pension, or social security benefits. If you’re starting to think about retirement and want to learn more about how and when you can stop working, whether you’ve saved enough, and what your retirement years might look like, you’re in the right place.
