The Best Way to Figure Out How Much to Save for Retirement | Ep. 214

Mar 21, 202311 min

Are you trying to figure out how much money you need to save for retirement? This can be a tough question to answer, but it's important! In this episode, I share the best way to figure out how much money you need to save and some tips on how to make it happen. Enjoy! Every Tuesday, Tiffany answers one of your submitted questions. To submit a question for an upcoming episode, visit here: https://www.moneytalkwitht.com/asktiffany Key Takeaways When calculating how much to save for retirement, consider the age you plan to retire and ensure the money lasts until the end of life expectancy. Determine what your desired lifestyle in retirement will be and calculate how much income you need each year to maintain this lifestyle. Think about your expected sources of retirement income, such as pensions, annuities, social security benefits, etc. Consider how much risk you can tolerate with your investments depending on how close you are to retirement age. Ask yourself if you want to keep working part-time after retiring and if tax deferral strategies such as 401ks or Roth IRAs should be used for retirement planning. Factor in any other expenses, such as healthcare and long-term care costs.

Sep 17, 20248 min

In this episode of Tiffany's Take, Tiffany Grant draws powerful lessons from flight attendants' vital safety instructions and applies them to personal finance. Join Tiffany as she explores how securing your own financial "oxygen mask" first can help you manage your money more effectively and sustainably. Discover practical tips and essential strategies to ensure financial stability while responsibly helping others. Check out the full shownotes: https://moneytalkwitht.com/podcast-show-notes/lessons-from-flight-attendants/ Key Takeaways Prioritize Your Financial Safety Think of an emergency fund as your personal oxygen mask. It's a safety net for unexpected expenses like job loss or medical bills. Budget for Stability Consider your budget as a seatbelt that keeps you financially secure. Track your spending to understand where your money goes and make it work for you. Invest in Yourself First Contribute to your retirement and savings plans before offering financial help to others. Even small, consistent savings can make a big difference. Learn to Say No It's okay to decline financial requests that don't align with your goals. Offer advice or other forms of support instead of financial help if necessary. Stay Informed and Calm Educate yourself on financial matters to make informed decisions. Knowledge is your co-pilot to financial freedom. What's Next? Ask Tiffany a Question Have a money question?
