7 Tips to Retire With a Million-Dollar Nest Egg Money Talks News: The Podcast

    • 投資

Editor's Note: This episode initially aired on July 20, 2022. It may contain some details that are out of date.

According to one recent survey, only 4% of Americans have $1 million or more in retirement savings, which means 96% of us don't.

Of course, depending on your situation, a million bucks may be overkill: Many people could fund their retirement years for a lot less. Still, it's a nice, round number, and one worth shooting for.

Obviously, however, that's a lot of money. Is it even possible to get there? In a word, yes. And that's what we're going to talk about today: building a million-dollar nest egg, and just as important, how to figure out how much you're actually going to need.

As usual, co-hosts Stacy Johnson and Miranda Marquit are joined by producer Aaron Freeman. This week's special guest is Roger Whitney, the Retirement Answer Man.

Remember, even though we sometimes talk about specific investments on this show, don't take them as recommendations because they're not. Before investing in anything, do your own research, and make your own decisions.
