Broke at 50? How to Retire On-Time (Or Early!)
Are you worried you won’t be able to retire at sixty-five? Feeling financially limited in your fifties and need a retirement plan so you can finally stop working? Well, we made this episode just for you. Today, we’re teaching you how to retire on time at age sixty-five (or even retire early!) if you’re starting from zero with no money to your name. We spell out exactly what we would do to go from a zero-dollar net worth to a million dollars in retirement! This is a step-by-step plan that anyone who wants to retire on time can follow. We’ll walk through two personas: Barb, a recently divorced stay-at-home mom reentering the workforce with a zero-dollar net worth. Then, we’ll touch on Sally, a six-figure income earner who also is starting from zero. Both scenarios take slightly different steps, so listen closely because your income level could completely change your money moves! Don’t give up on retirement! No matter your age, these simple steps can help get you to a financially stable (if not flourishing) position. We’ll talk about how to make more money, cut expenses, save every month, which investments you should prioritize for retirement, and what to do if you’re still in debt! In This Episode We Cover How to go from broke at fifty to millionaire (and retirement-ready!) at sixty The one beginner-friendly investment that could make you richer (faster) than traditional retirement accounts Starting a side hustle and how to make more money so you can retire faster The passive, stable, and relatively safe investment that anyone can put their money into When to pay off debt and which interest rates to prioritize first How to become a personal finance genius in just a year simply by “listening” And So Much More!
