In this episode of Decoding Retirement, America’s definitive voice on retirement, Robert 'Bob' Powell speaks with Frtiz Gilbert, Founder and Author of The Retirement Manifesto, to discuss the non-financial side of retirement.

The focus always seems to be on money and saving for retirement. But the truth is once you enter retirement, your thinking shifts away from money almost completely, as outlined by Fritz with his 90/10 rule. So how do you find purpose and identity once you've left your job for good?

Retirement planning doesn’t mean locking up your money for a rainy day and forgetting about it. Planning your future means reacting to events today. Decoding Retirement gives you the tools to navigate the years ahead, and take action now! Each week, Robert 'Bob' Powell will dissect the big headlines, decode key themes, and unpack the possible domino effect for your money. When it comes to retirement planning, Robert Powell and Yahoo Finance will not let you fall behind!
