Mortgaging Our Future

When we plan our retirement spending, some tend to lean towards the conservative due to the fear of running out of money. But history tells us that markets don’t drop to 0, and being overprotective of your nest egg may result in a lower quality of living than you deserve. Donna and Nathan talk about why it’s important not to leave joy on the table in retirement. Also on Money Talk, getting wealthy vs. staying wealthy, and Stock Trivia: Two Truths and a Lie.

The Final Approach to Retirement

Winston Churchill once said, “Of all of the economic systems, Capitalism is by far the least worst.”, and if we trace back the origins of Capitalism, we see a social construct designed to fuel growth and prosperity that also inadvertently led to widespread inequality. On this edition of our MoneyTalk Moment in Financial History, Nathan discusses how Capitalism led to the rapid economic progress of the 20th century, but with some unintended consequences. Also on MoneyTalk, a listener driven discussion on retirement transition decisions.
