What if your retirement starts sooner than you anticipated? Many Americans think they'll retire at 65 or later, but studies show the average retirement age is actually 62. From layoffs to health issues to caregiving responsibilities, unexpected events can shift your retirement timeline. And with people living longer than ever, your retirement could last 30+ years.

This episode, Liz and Marc break down insights from J.P. Morgan’s Guide to Retirement- including two critical charts that might reshape the way you think about your retirement years. 

Here’s some of what we discuss in today’s show:

  • The surprising stats from J.P. Morgan’s retirement guide
  • Retiring by choice vs by necessity 
  • The high cost of health insurance before Medicare
  • Planning for cognitive decline in later years
  • Tips to stay independent and supported as you age
