Today, I’m talking to Bob Carlson–America’s #1 retirement expert. Bob is the editor of Retirement Watch, a senior contributor to Forbes, and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Fairfax County Employees Retirement System.
He’s written several highly influential books, including The Essential Guide to Retiring in the 2020s, and Where’s My Money?: Secrets to Getting the Most Out Of Your Social Security.
In this conversation, Bob and I get into the risk factors that can potentially derail your retirement at the last minute, the obstacles making retiring in the 2020s more challenging than they were in the early 2000s, and what you can do to minimize money stress and have a successful retirement.
We then set aside quite a bit of time to answer your burning questions about Social Security, including how to maximize your lifetime benefits, manage longevity risks, and how to plan for a future in which Social Security itself is set to run out of money in 2033.
