Does achieving the American Dream really require $5 million, or is the real challenge planning for the costs no one wants to talk about? In this episode of The Retirement Project, Pat Schultz explores a headline-grabbing study that puts a multimillion-dollar price tag on the American Dream and unpacks what those numbers actually mean. The conversation focuses on two priorities Americans consistently rank at the top: a comfortable retirement and access to quality healthcare. Pat explains how healthcare costs, long-term care planning, taxes, and longevity can all impact retirement, and why personalized planning matters more than any headline figure. If you're wondering whether your retirement plan is prepared for the future, this episode offers valuable perspective.
