About this listen

Is there an ideal level of wealth? Our Retirement Headline comes from Nick Maggiulli, who starts by rejecting the usual vague answers—"it depends," "on your own terms," or "whatever makes you happy." Instead, he tries to give a practical, math-based answer that works for most people, even if it's not perfect for everyone.

Then our listener question is "How should we think about future income sources—like Social Security and pensions—in terms of our net worth? Should we include the present value of that income?"

Finally, in our "Retire to Something" segment, we're learning from an anonymous HR manager that is deploying their skillset in a totally new way in retirement.
