On this episode, we begin a brand-new series doing case studies on retirees from specific backgrounds. After nearly twenty years of retirement planning experience helping thousands of people retire, we have noticed patterns regarding the way retirement affects someone based on the characteristics of their job, vocation or background. In this podcast, we do a case study on a blue-collar worker named Jim. Blue-collar workers’ viewpoint on work, leisure and money makes them prime candidates to struggle with retirement if done incorrectly.
