Retire Early? Work Forever? Both Are Wildly Unrealistic

FYI: The FIRE (financial independence, retire early) concept has taken over whole swaths of the financial-planning internet. But a second, less-attention-grabbing idea (as far as we know, it lacks an acronym) has also become common: people who don’t plan to retire at all, but to continue working until they drop.

How realistic are these two extremes on the retirement spectrum? Barron’s spoke with Teresa Ghildarducci, the Irene and Bernard L. Schwartz Chair in economic policy analysis in the economics department at the New School, and the author of How to Retire With Enough Money.

Ted
