A comfortable retirement is the American dream. Yet only 8% of people feel it’s easy to achieve. Even if you have been saving money in your retirement accounts for decades, there are endless questions: Do you have enough money to retire? At what age? How much can you withdraw per year, and how? With lifespans longer than ever, are you at risk of running out of money? Longtime on-air financial editor on the TODAY show and personal finance columnist for AARP, Jean Chatzky has a new solution to consider: Capitalize on the power of a paycheck to build a retirement you love.
There are different factors that impact what savings and planning strategies are best for you—including tolerance for risk, interest in the markets, fear of missing out, and more. With quizzes, stories, and examples from her own life and real people, Chatzky demonstrates how you can identify your own money personality and build the retirement plan that fits your goals and preferences. Filled with insights on the changing landscape of financial products and practical advice for how to actually use them, The Forever Paycheck is packed with the information you need to plan for the future you want.
