What is The Money Map?
When it comes to retirement planning, creating a path that you understand will guide you through your life and prepare you for that next chapter. Developing that path alone can be overwhelming, and that’s where a resource like “The Money Map” can be a huge asset.
You’ve probably heard Joel Johnson reference his book on television and on the Money Wisdom podcast, but how much do you actually know about it? In this episode, we’ll spend some time sharing parts of the book and letting you in on what you can expect to learn. Joel highlights a few of the chapters that you’ll find and explains why they’ll help you make investing decisions.
The show also takes a couple listener questions about using pension income to generate additional money and concern about IRA losses as retirement approaches. Both questions create valuable conversation about how to determine how much income you’ll need in retirement.
Speaking of planning, there are some common beliefs we often hear from clients that aren’t completely true. In fact, they are myths that might lead you astray if you aren’t aware. We’ll identify and dispel four retirement myths from investment strategies to taking care of your spouse.
