How much will you really need to save for a secure retirement and how much of an impact will your children have on your savings success?  While you’re raising a family will you really be able save enough for retirement. Everyone’s situation is different of course, but recent stats show parents spend as much 40% of their income raising their children during the years from birth until the children are responsible for their own financial needs. CFN’s John Walker is joined by Desiree Reil and Brian Hillsberg. Each has a different personal experience and therefore a different perspective. They discuss ways having, or not having, children impacts your spending and your potential for saving for retirement. Their conversation will help you identify your priorities and your individual retirement needs based on your lifestyle.

Last year was a good year in the equity markets, but for some a positive experience could fade quickly into fear. Many investors brace for a so-called “payback time,” a period in which market gains may erode, or worse, be erased. CFN’s John Walker and Dennis Jablonoski remind us that there are several reasons why an up market, as we experienced in 2019, won’t necessarily be followed by a down market in 2020, and that solid planning remains our best option for success.
