Inadequate savings, faulty assumptions, and high inflation could create barriers to a comfortable retirement. So, what can we learn from recent retirees about how to avoid these pitfalls? On today's Faith & Finance Live, host Rob West will welcome Matt Bell to share some lessons from today’s retirees. Then, Rob will answer your calls about finances.
