About this episode

Joe and Wes Moss discuss the key factors that contribute to a happy retirement, emphasizing the importance of community and financial planning.

What actually makes for a happy retirement? Today, Joe sits down with retirement expert Wes Moss , author of The Retire Sooner Method , to explore the research behind America’s happiest retirees. Wes explains why money is only part of the equation, how community and “super activities” give retirement purpose, why eliminating debt can create more freedom, and how a clear retirement plan can help reduce the fear of running out of money. Then Joe and OG tackle one of retirement’s most popular investing strategies: living off dividends so you never have to sell your investments. They break down why dividends feel so appealing, where the strategy can fall short, and why building your retirement income plan around your goals may matter more than chasing a particular yield. Plus, Doug celebrates the anniversary of the ATM with some cash-dispensing trivia.
