Description

We heard your feedback, and today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 546, Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA are spitballing retirement for the not-so-fat wallets: Joe and Masako in Washington state and Reid in Indiana have less than a million saved. Can they still accomplish their retirement goals in their 60s? Mr Buckeye in Ohio and Old Macdonald in Maine have less than a million saved, and Curt in Pennsylvania has less than $1.5 million saved. Can they retire early - in their 40s and 50s?
