In this week’s episode of Money Glow Up, host Tiffany Aliche welcomes Robert Powell, the host of Yahoo Finance’s Decoding Retirement, to explore how to prepare for retirement effectively.

According to Powell, while retirement is achievable, the path to it varies significantly based on income level and your ability to fund retirement savings to meet your desired standard of living.

“If you're in the highest income quintile, you're fine. You're more than likely saving enough for retirement. If you're in the lowest income quintile, most of your pre-retirement income will be replaced by Social Security,” Powell explains. However, “ if you're in the middle-income quintiles, those are the people that need to worry about whether retirement is attainable or not.
