    Stunt Summer Sessions #6: Thinking About Retirement

    In Episode 79, your Stunt Brothers wish you a happy BC Day as the long weekend sends promises of barbecues with family and friends and cool dips in the ocean. Roy and Martin are well aware that many of you may already be getting that feeling in your stomach that tells you school is just around the corner, no doubt ignited by the back to school ads that seem to start earlier each year. While there is still lots of summer left to unwind before the new year begins, the Stunt Brothers  know from experience that it is never too early to start thinking about retirement. And so their Stunt Summer Sessions continue with a re-broadcast of their engaging conversation with the iconic Linda Watson who also knows a thing or two about getting financially and emotionally prepared for retirement.  Their conversation covers various aspects of retirement, including the emotional readiness to leave teaching, the financial implications of retirement, and the changes in pension plans over the years. Linda's experiences and advice provide valuable guidance for all teachers no matter at what point they are in their career. Takeaways Teachers often feel overwhelmed with work even after students leave. Retirement requires careful planning and preparation. Linda Watson is a respected figure in the education community. Pension plans have evolved, impacting retirement benefits. Teachers should consider their emotional readiness for retirement. Financial planning is crucial for a successful retirement.
