Mailbag: Healthcare Costs, Retirement Savings Target, and Estate Disputes

Retirease Radio with Victor Medina CFP®, RICP®, CELA®

Retirement is more than just a numbers game; it's an intricate dance of elements that blend to create a fulfilling post-career life. In this episode, we’ll open up the mailbag and unpack the components that make up a robust retirement strategy, addressing everything from the ebb and flow of market volatility to maximizing Social Security benefits and tackling healthcare costs head-on.

We also shine a spotlight on the thorny issue of estate disputes, illustrated by a listener's question about a contested beneficiary designation. Sharing insights on setting up a revocable trust and other mechanisms, we help you be equipped with the tools and knowledge to safeguard your legacy and retire with peace of mind.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

• How can you figure out if your parents need help financially as they age?
• Do you need 15-20 times your annual salary to be able to retire comfortably?
• How to settle estate disputes between when wishes aren’t clear.
