About this listen

According to BankRate, 23% of Americans 60-78 have a side-hustle. Maurie Backman says in an article by Kiplinger that this would help with two key areas in retirement planning: It provides us with something fulfilling to do after our primary career and provide a little extra cash in retirement.

The benefits of a side hustle:

  • Mental Engagement
  • Extra Income
  • Social Connection
  • Sense of Purpose

The Pitfalls of a side hustle:

  • Tax Complications
  • Outspending your retirement budget in search of business profits
  • Medicare Premium Creep (IRMAA)
  • Lifestyle Clash
  • Time Commitment

Also in this episode, we discuss a listener's question about global stock allocations - and asks if I think it's better to own a global fund or to own US & international equity separately. How can one balance simplicity and effectiveness in their plan?
