The Future of Retirement In America: Is The Glass Half Full or Half Empty?

My Retirement Clarity with Lee Perkins

Are we on the brink of a retirement renaissance or stormy seas ahead? On this episode, we jump into the pressing issues of Social Security, healthcare, taxes, stock market trends, and long-term care. Whether you're an eternal optimist or cautious pessimist, this episode will equip you with perspectives to plan your retirement years with confidence as we ask the longstanding question, “Is the glass half full or half empty?”

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

• Politicians are unlikely to make drastic changes to Social Security due to voter concerns, however, there could be potential benefit cuts for younger generations
• Lee expects healthcare costs to continue rising, despite technological advancements
• It’s almost certain the tax rates will increase in the future. Lee encourages proactive tax planning to mitigate future tax burdens, especially given the current trend of rising taxes
• Long-term care is expensive, and long-term care insurance options have become limited
• Despite short-term market fluctuations, Lee is optimistic about the stock market’s long-term performance
