Do you know that retirement is one of life’s top 10 most stressful events? Knowing what to expect can help prepare for the adjustment. That’s where the 6 stages of retirement comes into play. They provide a road map to help prepare for and cope with the ever changing journey. In our beer segment, we taste an aged version of Goose Islands 2017 Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial stout. The aging doesn’t necessarily make the beer better, just different in a good way.

When markets take a steep dive and enter into correction territory, even seasoned investors experience FUD – fear, uncertainty and doubt. Today we offer our ideas on what to do under three scenarios: Roy’s case where he needs to sell in order to pay expenses; my case where I place my riskier investments out of harm’s way by using a bucket strategy’ and the case of someone retiring into a down market.  Our beer segment features Roy’s selection - Hop Rising, a double IPA from Salt Lake City’s Settler’s Brewing. From K-9 studios in Phoenix AZ welcome to the RH podcast with Ted Carr and Roy Weinberg.

Jackie Cummings Koski author of Money Letters 2 My Daughter is preparing to retire early to pursue her dream of teaching financial literacy. Jackie explains how the iconic $2 bill kick started her savings habit which eventually helped her achieve Financial Independence. In our beer segment Jackie describes how she chose Sam Adams White Christmas from a field of four contenders. Since Roy and I could not find White Christmas where we are, we had Jackie take us through the tasting process.  And before we wrapped up we had a little surprise for her. From K 9 studios in Phoenix AZ welcome to the retire hoppy podcast with Ted Carr and Roy Weinberg.

Work is not only a means of income. It’s also a major source of personal identity. Not surprisingly, many struggle with discontentment after they retire. What are we to do―individually and as a culture―when work and life experience make conventional retirement a burden rather than a reprieve? To find out we turn to U of Toronto assistant professor Michelle Pannor Silver who examines how we confront the mismatch between idealized and actual retirement in her book Retirement and Its Discontents. Then, Michelle, a self-admitted non-beer drinker, throws caution to the wind and joins us in our beer segment. We taste her beer choice Molson Canadian which honors our neighbors to the north and reminds me of my days growing up in WNY. From K 9 studios in Phoenix AZ welcome to the RH podcast with Ted Carr and Roy Weinberg.

RH 025 Retirement & Its Discontents and Molson Canadian

John Wycoff is not your typical octogenarian. He defies ageist stereotypes of retired people slowing down, with nothing left to contribute to society.  What drew me to John was not any one thing. Rather it was how many things he’s involved with: social media, his website Retired Now What, his YouTube channel, podcast and his various entrepreneurial endeavors. I invite you to listen and reflect on the experience of someone whose spirit and drive has not wavered to this day. In our beer segment, Roy and I go it alone. And  to honor John, who does not drink, we try the best non-alcoholic beer substitute we’ve run across – Hop Water from Lagunitas. From K 9 studios in Phoenix AZ welcome to the retire hoppy podcast with Ted Carr and Roy Weinberg.

RH 024 Retired Now What and Hop Water

When Gina was growing up, spending was an accepted and expected way of life. Unfortunately those habits resulted in the accumulation of considerable credit card and student debt. It wasn’t until she found her dream house with the perfect kitchen that Gina converted  to a frugal lifestyle, one that she shares via her popular blog the frugal convert. And even though she’s not a beer drinker, Gina graciously agreed to join us in our beer segment. The beer I selected for her is an excellent Oktoberfest from Sierra Nevada and Germany’s Weihenstephaner.  From K 9 studios in Phoenix AZ, welcome to the Retire Hoppy podcast with Ted Carr and Roy Weinberg.

RH 023 The Frugal Convert and Oktoberfest

Our podcast presents original content on financial independence, personal finance, retirement (traditional and early) and the non-financial side of retirement. Oh yeah, and craft beer too. I create content that is experience based. I don’t want to tell you what you should do. I simply share what I did, what my wife did, and what our guests did. I’m motivated by a belief that we learn by sharing each others’ stories, experiences and perspectives.
