90. How Much Do I Need to Retire?

Her First $100K | YAP Media
About this episode

How much do I need to retire? How are a few hundred dollars a month going to turn into millions? What happens if the stock market crashes between now and then?!


We’ve heard it all –– and it’s not your fault for not knowing. The finance industry bros have kept this information from you and made investing seem like one of the most difficult things you can do. Fortunately, your favorite host, Tori Dunlap, is sharing her basics of investing to help you get over fear and just start. In this episode, Tori breaks down how to calculate WHAT you need to save for retirement and HOW it will grow. Going through principles like the rule of 72 and dollar cost averaging, you’ll feel more confident to finally say, “Yeah, I AM saving for retirement!”
