SPEAKER: Glenn Ruffenach, News Editor at the Wall Street Journal
BIO: Glenn Ruffenach is editor of The Wall Street Journal’s “Encore” report, the paper’s guide to retirement planning and living. He is a graduate of West Point and the University of Missouri’s Journalism School and a 30-year veteran of the Journal, where he has worked as a reporter, features editor and bureau chief. He is co-author of “The Wall Street Journal Complete Retirement Guidebook,” a New York Times bestseller. He and his wife Karen live in Dunwoody and have two daughters and six grandchildren.
TOPIC: Retirement will be easy. What can be so hard about not working? Famous last words.
March’s Sunday Supper guest Glenn Ruffenach, News Editor at the Wall Street Journal, spends his career helping people navigate the thornier issues of retirement. As in, what to do once you’ve taken the trip you’ve always wanted to take, spent time with the grandkids, cleaned out the attic, and checked off a few other bucket list items. That takes, on average, nine to eighteen months, but you’ve still got maybe 20 or 30 or more years of life expectancy ahead of you.
The first question Glenn is normally asked about retirement is, how much money do I need to save? But he believes the real question is, how do I want to spend my time?
Our Sunday Supper conversation will take this question as a jump-off point, with easy openings for a number of other issues Glenn normally encounters in his work “on the front lines of later life.”
Such as, what do I do if my spouse has a different idea about retirement than I do?
And, what’s the best way to transition to a non-profit or volunteer situation so that I don’t come off sounding like I know it all?
And, how do I prepare for some potentially massive expenses I didn’t see coming, like healthcare?
And, what’s the best way to make the most of my life from now on?
Note: This Sunday Supper content may be most useful primarily to people ages 50 and above, but all alumni of all ages are welcome! As Glenn can assure you, it’s never too soon to plan.
