Roger Whitney, host of the Retirement Answer Man show, explains that the goal of retirement planning is not solely about accumulating more money, but about creating a fulfilling life. He emphasizes that retirement planning should be a means to an end, enabling individuals to live well, rather than becoming a self-serving exercise or a 'safety blankie'.
“We hang out and noodle on how to rock retirement, which means not becoming an expert in retirement planning, but how do we do it well so we can actually go create a great life, which is the whole point of the exercise, which is often missed when talking about retirement planning.”
“that it's not about more money, it's actually about more living.”
“It's a means to an end. And a lot of times people that listen to, you know, the, you know, write, rightly so, they like to geek out on it, which is great, but then it also can be like a little safety blankie that we use rather than actually go create a great life, which is the whole point.”
