Episode description

Scott and James discuss how much you need to retire.

Listener Question

I'm 55 years old and currently employed with $1.1 million in 401k, $150,000.00 in annuity fund.  Upon retiring I will also have a pension with medical, dental & optical coverage.  My yearly income is $120,000 & I’m looking to retire at 60 years old.  In your opinions does retiring comfortably in 5 years look reasonable?

Planning Points Discussed

  • Retirement Planning
  • Utilizing Time Efficiently
  • Capital Appreciation
  • Purchasing Power
  • Other issues (IRAs, Inflation, Financial Goals, etc.)
