One of the top questions people have about retirement is how much do you need to have saved? When coming up with a number, are you actually on track for retirement or just comparing your savings to others? Today we’re going to tackle this question by breaking down retirement savings, income strategies, and how to avoid common financial mistakes. 

With the pressures of societal expectations and conventional wisdom, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about your financial future. But every individual’s financial situation is unique, and comparing oneself to others can lead to unnecessary stress and misguided decisions. This episode will help you see why it’s so important to focus on your own financial goals and needs, which is what a financial advisor can assist with.   

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

📊 Should you compare your savings to others? Why it’s a mistake

💰 How much do you really need to retire? It’s not a one-size-fits-all answer

⚠️ Common financial myths that can derail your retirement

🤔 Are you actually spending more than you think? 

👥 Why getting financial advice from friends & coworkers can be risky


Key Takeaway

"No two thumbprints are the same. That's how I think of retirement planning."
