Retirement Reboot: Commonsense Financial Strategies for Getting Back on Track with Mark Miller
For millions of Americans, the COVID shock has brought retirement saving to an abrupt halt, and now it’s time to get back on track. Even before the pandemic, a large share of households by Americans over age 50 faced the threat that their living standards would decline sharply in retirement. In the wake of COVID-19, these numbers will surely worsen.
In this program, you'll discover practical strategies for Americans to improve their retirement prospects.
Mark will offer an overview of key themes of his book, including:
- the core decisions you need to make now to improve your retirement outcomes-even if retirement is just a few years away.
- how to make a plan, think through the timing of retirement, optimize Social Security, navigate Medicare, build savings, and tap home equity.
- several ongoing strategies, such as careful budgeting, generating income from work even after retirement, planning for long-term care, and leveraging special assistance aimed at low-income workers.
The simple steps outlined in this program can help you make the most of your remaining working years and reboot the retirement you always imagined.
