The Retirement Mirage: Why Your "Magic Number" Might Be a Lie


Episode 316


On this week’s Best of Simply Money podcast, Bob and Brian challenge the myth of the "magic number" in retirement planning. Just because you've hit $2 million or even $5 million doesn’t mean your future is locked in. Plus, hear stories of high-net-worth individuals navigating the pitfalls of poorly structured wealth. Later, they discuss new research showing that early retirement might actually shorten your life, how to use your empty nest phase for a financial makeover, and whether it’s possible to be too diversified. Finally, as always, Bob and Brian take on real listener questions—from restricted stock units to the right time to downsize.
