In this episode of The Personal Finance Podcast, Andrew reveals how millions of Americans retire with far less than $1 million—the median retiree age 65-74 has only $200,000 saved and 40% live solely on Social Security. He breaks down how people make it work by relying on Social Security, paid-off homes, modest spending, and part-time work, exposes the hidden costs of “barely getting by” retirement, and shares a practical gameplan if you’re behind so you can aim higher than just survival.
