How does fitness impact your retirement plan and what can YOU do now to prepare?

I’ve seen it all too many times— someone who doesn’t plan their finances well and also has bad health can single handly destroy their retirement plan. On the other hand, I’ve seen people with copious amounts of money yet poor physical health also destroy their own happiness in retirement. Today we’re evaluating both of these scenarios and discuss how fitness and financial planning are cut from the same cloth. 

In today’s episode we’ll discuss physical guidelines for Americans, as well as six different areas that your health will impact your retirement plan. 

SHOW NOTES: Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans found here: https://health.gov/sites/default/files/2019-09/Physical_Activity_Guidelines_2nd_edition.pdf

The 401k has 4 options when it comes to handling assets after you leave your company for whatever reason.  We discuss how each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. There is not a silver bullet and each option needs to be evaluated when the time comes.

Option 1: Stay in the Plan
Option 2: Roll Over to an IRA
Option 3: Take a Lump-Sum Distribution
Option 4: Convert All or Some to a Roth IRA

We also talk about how some people are just natural savers and investors, like natural athletes in sports. Some people just seem to naturally be able to build wealth. In addition, there are some people that aren't natural athletes that need to work on their wealth.

If you have a 401k that has become your biggest investment bucket, maybe taking a look at your financial picture can help you become a better wealth builder.

Thatcher sits down to chat about the purpose of merging fitness and finance into one mission. It is rarely discussed how important financial planning is for the healthy individual and how taking care of your body and mind can lead to a longer life.  Thatcher also talks about the Iron Cowboy, James Lawrence, and his journey to 100 days straight of completing an IronMan Triatholon. Then we have a Q&Q session discussing what to do if you are just starting to save in your 50's, what training program I am using, and how smooth is fast, not slow is smooth.
