Description

Generation X has long been regarded as scrappy and resourceful, having come of age during a period of significant societal and economic shifts. Now, as the oldest cohort of Gen X'ers begin to enter their golden years, they're finding that retirement may be more than they bargained for. On this week's Decoding Retirement, host Robert "Bob" Powell speaks with Kerry Hannon, Yahoo Finance columnist and the author of "Retirement Bites: A Gen X Guide to Securing Your Financial Future," about what Gen X can do to prepare for the road ahead. Kerry discusses how extending your career could bring much-needed financial relief, making the most of retirement accounts, and how Gen X business owners should approach selling their businesses.
