      <title>Falling short of retirement goals? Here's how you catch up</title>
      <link>https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/decoding-retirement/</link>
      <description>Preparing for retirement involves a complex set of decisions, with prospective retirees relying on estimates of how long their money can carry them through their golden years while using information that is incomplete at best. For those who are feeling left behind in their retirement goals, making up that shortfall can seem nearly impossible. On this episode of Decoding Retirement, Robert "Bob" Powell speaks with Dave Goodsell, Executive Director at The Natixis Center for Investor Insight, about how Americans are currently feeling about their nest eggs and what they can do to improve their financial well-being. Dave discusses how health care can eat up most of your savings, "catch-up" options in tax-advantaged accounts, and how retirement isn't always a choice.

On this episode of Decoding Retirement, Robert "Bob" Powell speaks with Beth Pinsker, financial columnist for MarketWatch and the author of “My Mother’s Money: A Guide to Financial Caregiving,” about her personal experience as a caregiver for her mom. Beth reveals the essential legal documents to have prepared in advance, coping with the stress of caregiving, and spotting the warning signs that your loved one may need additional help.

      <link>https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/decoding-retirement/</link>
      <description>The new Harris Poll on holiday shopping, compiled by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), paints a picture of Americans teetering on a financial tightrope. Rising prices are especially being felt by retirees on fixed incomes looking to maximize their dollars as they purchase gifts for their loved ones this holiday season. On this special episode of Decoding Retirement, Robert "Bob" Powell speaks with Dan Snyder and Cary Sinnett from the AICPA about what retirees can do to mitigate the high cost of goods while ensuring their financial futures stay on firm ground. Dan and Cary discuss the benefits of limiting holiday spending to a certain percentage of your income, avoiding the credit card 'debt trap,' and tips to ensure you stay within a favorable tax bracket.

On this special episode of Decoding Retirement, Robert "Bob" Powell speaks with Dan Snyder and Cary Sinnett from the AICPA about what retirees can do to mitigate the high cost of goods while ensuring their financial futures stay on firm ground. Dan and Cary discuss the benefits of limiting holiday spending to a certain percentage of your income, avoiding the credit card 'debt trap,' and tips to ensure you stay within a favorable tax bracket.</p>

      <title>Dr. Oz’s plan to stop Medicare waste and rising costs</title>
      <link>https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/decoding-retirement/</link>
      <description>Dr. Mehmet Oz, now head of the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services, lays it out plain: healthcare isn’t just a cost, it’s an investment to win the future. Want to fix Medicare, Medicaid, and save America trillions? Dr Oz says get people healthy, working, and off government dependency.  On Decoding Retirement, Dr. Oz tells host Bob Powell that he is cutting waste within Medicare and Medicaid - and demanding results.  He backs work requirements as common sense and insists medical debt must be tackled through price transparency and enforcement. Rising Medicare premiums? He’s pushing reforms to protect seniors’ wallets. Bottom line: Oz tells Powell he’s in the “change business” - and he’s here to make healthcare work for hardworking Americans.

        <![CDATA[<p>Dr. Mehmet Oz, now head of the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services, lays it out plain: healthcare isn’t just a cost, it’s an investment to win the future. Want to fix Medicare, Medicaid, and save America trillions? Dr Oz says get people healthy, working, and off government dependency.  On <em>Decoding Retirement,</em> Dr. Oz tells host Bob Powell that he is cutting waste within Medicare and Medicaid - and demanding results.  He backs work requirements as common sense and insists medical debt must be tackled through price transparency and enforcement. Rising Medicare premiums? He’s pushing reforms to protect seniors’ wallets. Bottom line: Oz tells Powell he’s in the “change business” - and he’s here to make healthcare work for hardworking Americans.</p>

      <title>A retirement crisis could be coming– here's how to prepare</title>
      <link>https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/decoding-retirement/</link>
      <description>As benefits are cut and Social Security approaches possible insolvency, retirees are being asked to work longer and accept fewer benefits. Is this inevitable, or is an alternative outcome possible? On this episode of Decoding Retirement, host Robert "Bob" Powell speaks with Teresa Ghilarducci, Professor of Economics at The New School, about challenging the conventional assumptions around retirement. Teresa discusses the 'retirement gap,' the ways retirees can speak out against cuts, and how guaranteed retirement accounts could be an effective way to support Americans through their golden years.

      <title>Will Social Security run out of money sooner than you think?</title>
      <link>https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/decoding-retirement/</link>
      <description>Prospective retirees hoping to cash in their Social Security after 2033 may be in for a rude awakening. The 2025 Trustees Report confirmed that the program will only be able to pay 77% of the expected disbursements after 2033, and with the expected tax cuts from the new Republican budget bill, that number could shrink even faster. On this episode of Decoding Retirement, host Robert "Bob" Powell speaks with certified retirement management advisor Marcia Mantell about these findings and more, delving into the serious implications for your retirement. Marcia discusses what you can do to make up for the shortfall, how US birth rates may be affecting financial projections, and the potential effects of up to 8 million people losing their healthcare coverage through the Affordable Care Act.

4:19 – “The biggest question people have leading up to retirement is: Do I have enough? Here’s a simple three-step framework to find out.” (Introduction to the four L’s and funded ratio)
7:15 – “How do you allocate your assets to cover essential, discretionary, and unexpected expenses in retirement?” (Breakdown of reliable income, diversified portfolio, and reserves)
9:50 – “If your funded ratio is below 100%, here’s what you need to do right now to get back on track.” (Advice on working longer, reducing expenses, or adjusting investments)
17:02 – “Longevity is a double-edged sword—it’s great to live longer, but financially, it’s expensive. Here’s how to prepare.” (Managing the risk of outliving assets)
22:10 – “Health care shocks are one of the biggest fears in retirement. How do you plan for something that may or may not happen?” (Discussion on self-funding vs. insurance for long-term care)
28:39 – “With rising interest rates, retirees now have better options. The 4% rule isn’t dead—it's actually closer to 4.6% now.” (Impact of higher interest rates on sustainable withdrawals)

      <title>How to find purpose in retirement</title>
      <description>In this episode of Decoding Retirement, America’s definitive voice on retirement, Robert 'Bob' Powell speaks with Frtiz Gilbert, Founder and Author of The Retirement Manifesto, to discuss the non-financial side of retirement.
The focus always seems to be on money and saving for retirement. But the truth is once you enter retirement, your thinking shifts away from money almost completely, as outlined by Fritz with his 90/10 rule. So how do you find purpose and identity once you've left your job for good?
Retirement planning doesn’t mean locking up your money for a rainy day and forgetting about it. Planning your future means reacting to events today. Decoding Retirement gives you the tools to navigate the years ahead, and take action now! Each week, Robert 'Bob' Powell will dissect the big headlines, decode key themes, and unpack the possible domino effect for your money. When it comes to retirement planning, Robert Powell and Yahoo Finance will not let you fall behind!

      <title>Two trends are driving America's 'retirement crisis'</title>
      <description>The current state of retirement in the US is, in a word, bleak. A poll by the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that just 21% of respondents are “very confident in their ability to have enough money to live comfortably throughout retirement."
About 90% of registered voters believe the US is experiencing a retirement crisis, according to BlackRock's latest Rethinking Retirement report. The Federal Reserve says that one in four Americans has no retirement savings, and the Morningstar's Center for Retirement and Policy Studies has said that 45% of Americans will run out of money in retirement.
In the episode of Decoding Retirement, Robert “Bob” Powell and Anne Ackerley, BlackRock’s senior advisor on retirement, discuss the looming crisis, the role of stocks in retirement planning, and strategies for turning assets into income.
In the ‘Ask Bob’ segment, Powell breaks down the differences between subsidized and unsubsidized loans, and identifies and explains the key factors that impact your credit score.
Retirement planning doesn’t mean locking up your money for a rainy day and forgetting about it. Planning your future means reacting to events today. Decoding Retirement gives you the tools to navigate the years ahead, and take action now! Each week, Robert 'Bob' Powell will dissect the big headlines, decode key themes, and unpack the possible domino effect for your money. When it comes to retirement planning, Robert Powell and Yahoo Finance will not let you fall behind!

      <itunes:summary>The current state of retirement in the US is, in a word, bleak. A poll by the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that just 21% of respondents are “very confident in their ability to have enough money to live comfortably throughout retirement."
About 90% of registered voters believe the US is experiencing a retirement crisis, according to BlackRock's latest Rethinking Retirement report. The Federal Reserve says that one in four Americans has no retirement savings, and the Morningstar's Center for Retirement and Policy Studies has said that 45% of Americans will run out of money in retirement.
In the episode of Decoding Retirement, Robert “Bob” Powell and Anne Ackerley, BlackRock’s senior advisor on retirement, discuss the looming crisis, the role of stocks in retirement planning, and strategies for turning assets into income.
In the ‘Ask Bob’ segment, Powell breaks down the differences between subsidized and unsubsidized loans, and identifies and explains the key factors that impact your credit score.
Retirement planning doesn’t mean locking up your money for a rainy day and forgetting about it. Planning your future means reacting to events today. Decoding Retirement gives you the tools to navigate the years ahead, and take action now! Each week, Robert 'Bob' Powell will dissect the big headlines, decode key themes, and unpack the possible domino effect for your money. When it comes to retirement planning, Robert Powell and Yahoo Finance will not let you fall behind!
