Description

Every stage of life brings new financial milestones, and retirement is no different. From your 50s through your 70s, there are decisions you will make that can significantly affect your confidence, income, and lifestyle in retirement. In this episode, the Retiring Today team showcases our first digital magazine — Your Retirement Milestone Guide. This new resource is designed to help you see the full picture of retirement planning and understand why timing and preparation make such a difference.

You’ll also meet Adventurous Angie — a newly retired professional who spent 47 years with the same company. Learn how she earned her nickname, what’s on her multiple “bucket lists,” and how she’s making the most of retirement after answering the big question: Am I ready? Angie’s story brings these milestones to life, showing how clarity and planning can turn uncertainty into confidence.
