12. When Should You Retire?
Did you know that the retirement age of 65 was essentially made up? Believe it or not, it started as a random pick back in 1880s Germany. Fast forward to today, and we're still stuck with it! In this week’s episode, we unpack the strange history and harsh realities of planning for retirement in an age where Social Security might be a fairy tale.
Forget pensions and count on your own stash. We’ll explore why building personal savings is more vital than ever, thanks to skyrocketing lifespans and economic curveballs like inflation. And hey, about that college degree and climbing student debt—was it worth it?
