Retirement

Synopsis

65. Whether it’s far off or right around the corner, building a secure retirement is a concern for every American.

With increasing healthcare costs, pension cuts, and the fate of social security in question, many are left to figure out and fund retirement on their own.

But help is on the way. New from Detroit Public Television, it’s When I’m 65.

When I’m 65 gives gloss-free explanations of how the times and timing, even our own psychology, affect us all and offers can-do action plans to answer the questions posed by Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials alike, including:

  • How should I save with my 401(k) or IRA?
  • What if I have to work longer before I can retire?
  • What will happen to social security?

The retirement landscape is changing. When I’m 65 is a guide to help navigate it, no matter what your picture of retirement may be.
