Why More Americans May NEVER Fully Retire

Nick Hopwood, CFP® and Jim Pilat, CFP® of Peak Wealth Management join host Ryan Ermanni on WJR’s No Lazy Money for a conversation about what life and work can look like after retirement and how thoughtful retirement planning can help you prepare for the transition.

Nick and Jim discuss why some retirees choose to continue working, how they help clients navigate decisions surrounding post-retirement work, retirement income, investing, and long-term financial planning, and why having a strategy matters well before your final day on the job.

They also discuss Trump Accounts and the bigger lesson behind them: the potential power of starting to invest and save for retirement at a young age, giving compound growth more time to work.

Whether you’re approaching retirement, already retired, or just beginning to build wealth, this episode offers financial planning insights for every stage of life.
