Because Money Doesn't Come with Instructions

Everyday Wealth

Interview with Michael Norton, co-author of Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending

As we close our second and final season of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planners Isabel Barrow and Andy Smith discuss how to plan for the right retirement for you. Included in the conversation are what considerations to make when planning, like what your vision of retirement is from a life and financial standpoint, and how a planner can help you get there.

Then, Jean talks with Joanne Lipman, an award-winning journalist and bestselling author, whose latest book, Next! The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work, is about the different forms that retirement can take when we lean into self-reinvention, and the four steps to help you get there successfully.

Season 2 Episode 55: Are you planning for the right retirement?

The SECURE 2.0 Act that passed in December 2022 has over 90 provisions to encourage more people to save for retirement. But weeding through those provisions can be daunting. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planner Isabel Barrow go through some of those changes that may have a big impact on retirees and pre-retirees, including provisions to employer matching contributions for student loan payments, 529 plans and Roth IRAs.

Later, Jean and Isabel answer listener questions, like how much to withdraw annually from 401(k) plans in retirement, what to expect from Social Security in the future, and what options are available for health care coverage for retirees before age 65.

Season 2 Episode 54: Changes in the SECURE Act for 2024 – and we answer your questions

It’s a brand new year full of predictions: predictions about geopolitical events, the economy, and what the stock market will do in 2024. But should you pay attention to any of them? In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planner Andy Smith discuss why predictions, while important for governments and business, may not be so important when it comes to individual investors. They also discuss some of the key components of a financial plan that can help create wealth over the long term.

Later, Jean is joined by Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics, to talk about what 2024 may have in store, including his outlook on inflation, interest rates and the possibility of a recession, and what other trends he sees for this year.
