The Rising Cost of Helping Family in Retirement

Inflation Can Eat Away Your Retirement
00:00 / 10:03

Segment 1: Inflation Can Eat Away Your Retirement - 10:03

Segment 2: When Helping Your Kids Hurts Your Retirement - 10:18

On our 30 minute More Than Money show, Rob Gerrie and Leanna Wachniak discuss how inflation can quietly erode the purchasing power of your retirement savings. Even after reaching your retirement goal, rising costs can put pressure on the lifestyle you planned for. They look at how retirees can prepare for inflation and stay ahead of the long-term impact.

To close the show, Rob and Leanna ask an important question: how much of your own retirement are you willing to give up to help your children? For many parents, it is no longer hypothetical. They discuss where to draw the line between supporting family and protecting your own financial future.
