Retirement Bracketology: Money Lessons From Your March Madness Bracket

The Income For Life Show

March Madness is upon us, and as you’re keeping an eye on your bracket and watching the Final Four this weekend, there are a few retirement planning lessons that you can learn along the way… Stay tuned as we take some March Madness terms any apply them to the financial planning world in today’s show.

As usual, we have some fun getting-to-know-you questions lined up for you. Then, we have a fantastic quote of the week to share by Ken Poirot. We’ll also spend some time looking at a MarketWatch article about the increasing retirement savings target in the United States.

For this week’s mailbag question, Darrell from San Antonio asks if it would be better to keep working and receive a pension or retire now with a severance package and pension buyout. For this week’s Retirement Ride Along segment, we’re sharing some of our favorite spots in Copeland, Kansas.
