As we approach midlife, a lot of us may find ourselves taking care of our aging parents, children, or both. How do we not go broke taking care of other people in our lives?

Retire Sooner with Wes Moss
11/14/24 • 64 min
I was recently at my son’s football games when one of the other dads walked over. He looked about 45 and said he was starting to think about the future. It’s a typical age for that concern to creep in, especially once a person feels financially secure. Now that you can take your foot off the gas a little bit, where should you steer the vehicle?
Dr. Riley Moynes is a doctor of figuring out what to do next. Specifically, he has a PhD in Education, but his journey extends beyond academics. In addition to his 20-year career as an educator, he ran a successful wealth management firm and authored several books, including the popular financial planning guide “The Money Coach.”
I wanted to have him on the show because of his TED talk about the 4 phases of retirement. With millions of views, it’s clear his words struck a chord with so many people desperate for tips on what to expect and how to navigate this portion of their lives.
In our conversation, he walked me through all four phases, where major pitfalls often occur, and how they might be avoided. Whether you’re thinking about today, tomorrow, or the next day, Dr. Riley Moynes can help you figure out how to squeeze the most juice out of your retirement so you and your family can live happy, purpose-filled lives.
