Whether
retirement is around the corner or decades away, there are some simple tips
that will help you fatten your savings. That's what we're talking about on this
week's podcast.

Not so long ago, for many Americans, retirement was a
breeze. That’s because when retirement rolled around, your employer gave you a
guaranteed monthly income for life — in short, a pension. That, along with
Social Security, meant a safe, secure retirement.
Today things are different. Pensions are disappearing,
replaced by 401(k)s and other retirement plans that transfer the risk from the
employer to the worker. Which means it’s more important than ever to supersize
your retirement nest egg, especially as you reach middle age.
That’s what we’re talking about in this week’s podcast.
As usual, I share the stage with longtime financial
journalist and fellow podcaster Miranda Marquit.
Now, sit back, relax and give it a listen.

I’ve been experimenting with podcasts for a few months now, but in
light of recent events, it’s become part of my weekly routine.
If you’re not familiar with podcasts, no sweat. They’re
simple to use and a great way to learn new things.
A podcast is just a radio show you can download and listen
to anytime. They’re totally free. They can be any length, feature any number of
people and cover any topic you can possibly think of. You can listen at home,
in the car, while jogging or, if you’re like me, when riding your bike.
You can listen to our podcasts here or download them to your phone
from any number of places, including Apple, Spotify, RadioPublic, Stitcher and RSS.
If you haven’t listened to a podcast yet, give it a
try, then subscribe. You’ll be glad you did!
