You’ve been asking for this episode, and today I’m finally pulling back the curtain on my own financial plan.Consider this a very special edition of Ask Farnoosh — except this time, you’re asking the questions about my money.For roughly 15 years, much of my financial life was on cruise control: automate the investing, save for retirement, fund the kids’ accounts, maintain the emergency fund, repeat. But midlife has me asking a different set of questions. Am I still saving the right amount? Could I invest a little less and spend more on my life today? How much do we actually need for retirement? And, gulp…should I consider an annuity?My financial planner Maggie Johndrow of <a href="https://www.johndrowwealth.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Johndrow Wealth Management</a> joins me to reveal what we discovered after putting my entire financial picture under the microscope — including where I may have been over-saving, why we’re rethinking my SEP IRA strategy, and how we’re balancing retirement security with enjoying life now.Then Maggie’s colleague Colette Ward joins us for an annuities crash course: what they are, why their reputation has changed and when they may—or may not—make sense.It’s my Midlife Money Checkup.
