In their last episode, our hosts tackled the Biblical/theoretical concept of retirement, and whether it’s good or not (it is). Mark Parrett and Steven Manuel now finish their one-two punch on retirement with this conversation about tactics (11:20): How do you know when your pile of money is big enough? Is it okay for retirees to take out new mortgages? When should you bring your children into your full financial picture and plan? What if you feel “behind” in your retirement savings? (28:30) At what age is it “too late” to open an IRA? How does Social Security plan into this conversation? (35:00) Could you retire early and still get SS benefits? What if you wait later to collect? Does that number go up? Also, what can retirement age look like for someone who pastors and disciples young men? (45:00) And what about long-term medical care or hospice? And don’t miss the Snappy Review of the entire episode at 54:20! …but first, an important analysis of praise flags and hype men.
