Ep 15 Get Your Finances Ready for Retirement
Posted in: bank accounts, budgets, calculators, cost of living, investments, loans, mortgages, resources, retirement, student outcomes, teacher perspectives
In this episode, Get Your Finances Ready for Retirement, Mark and Kathy provide a bevy of resources to expand your personal financial literacy and begin to break through the fear of retirement planning. Resources include reports about the needs for diversified retirement funds, planning for retirement, and how to calculate what is needed to live well in retirement.
Most financial planners will tell you that Social Security will not be sufficient for your retirement needs.
How is your nest egg? How will you fund your glory days?
And for teachers, this topic becomes another prime opportunity to open new patterns of communication, place math, government, health and policy issues in real-life contexts, and provide a platform for family dialogue and skill building.
Join us for the discussion about the concerns for retirement, the need and the possibilities for learning. Free online resources never made it so easy to break-through financial barriers. Resources include retirement handbooks, calculators and discussions about alternate retirement income sources.
We emphasize to our listeners, and readers, that we are NOT financial experts; our goal in this series to introduce resources, cast a view of financial literacy as personal financial literacy, and provide free resources for educators.
These episodes are not intended to provide financial advice or counsel. Please consult a certified financial planner who specializes in retirement to assist you in understanding your situation and to plan to meet your needs.
If you take that step or encourage others to do likewise, because of this blog and podcast, we will consider ourselves immensely successful! Thank you!
