Is the “magic number” for retirement really $1.5 million—or is that just a headline? In this episode, Alan Mercurio and Troy Bolton pull back the curtain on what it truly takes to retire comfortably, addressing not only the financial calculators and rules of thumb, but also the powerful emotions and behaviors that often derail even the best-laid plans. You’ll hear insights into why many Americans feel unprepared for retirement, the pitfalls of herd mentality, loss aversion, and overconfidence, and why following the crowd—or the latest rule of thumb—may not deliver the security you seek. Discover why personalizing your retirement strategy could matter far more than chasing someone else’s number.
