Welcome to the show dedicated to helping you not just survive retirement, but to have the confidence to lean in and really rock it because you're focused on the right things.

My name is Roger Whitney because it's exciting to be back.

Took a month off to focus on a couple special projects, made massive

progress on them, and there's still a lot more work to do, but that's okay. But I'm so excited

to be back here hanging with you. One of my favorite things to do. And today we're going to focus

on answering some of your questions, so hopefully we can help you take a baby step towards

rocking retirement. We have questions from Barb on whether it's Fidelity or Vanguard, a rule of 55

question from Mark, an inherited IRA question from Craig, and a few more. And we're going to start

off with a question we answered a few months ago on about choosing a

retirement coach. I answered the question. Then Kevin Liles, coach in the Rock Retirement Club,

had a lot of wisdom because he's an expert in this space. So he and I are going to answer

that question as well. Ah, it's a lot. Let's get this party started with rocking retirement in the wild.

So this is the segment where we try to profile someone like you taking action, either on the financial end of things or the non-financial end of things,

taking action to create a great life in retirement.

And Brian emailed in and said the way that he is rocking retirement is that he and his wife,

I assume, are playing pickleball at various places during open plays, open play times, I guess, during the week.

So these pickleball facilities say anybody come and play.

It's not a league.

You don't have to have a reservation.

You just get matched up with random people.

So Brian has been really leaning into this.

And he says it's so much fun to have the freedom to play during the week, play mostly with people like us, retired people, and socializing in the physical activity is an absolute pleasure, he says.
