Pensions are less common, more of the responsibility has shifted to us, and simply reaching a certain savings number isn’t enough. In this video, I talk about why I believe retirement is really a **system**, not just a number. That means thinking through how much you can spend, where your retirement paycheck will come from, how you’ll access money before 59½, healthcare before Medicare, taxes, market downturns—and just as importantly, what you actually want to retire *to*. If you’re Gen X and retirement suddenly feels a lot closer than it used to, this video is for you. **Related Scott Unclocked videos:** ▶ 7 Ways to Access Retirement Money Before 59½ https://youtu.be/xtGZ0XRZFq0 ▶ How I Pay My Bills After Retiring at 54 With No Paycheck https://youtu.be/0IV66OOOeKw ▶ How I’m Covering Health Insurance Before Medicare After Retiring at 54 https://youtu.be/G3I_3XBgfCw ▶ I Retired at 54...
