Gen X is often called the āforgotten generation,ā but when it comes to retirement planning, they may also be the most at risk. Many Xers came of age just as pensions were disappearing, making them the first generation to rely heavily on 401ks. Add in market crashes, higher levels of personal debt, and a fierce streak of independence, and youāve got a group that faces unique challenges as retirement approaches. Today, Eric talks candidly about what makes Gen X different from previous generations and how to navigate the road to retirement.
Hereās some of what we discuss in this episode:
š§© Why Gen X faces unique retirement challenges
š³ The realities of debt for Gen Xers
š¼ Why 401ks started to replace pensions
š Catch-up provisions and other growth opportunities
āļø Comparisons between Boomers and Gen X
