Retirement security and the SECURE 2.0 Act

Season 2 Episode 5

Retirement security has long been a top concern for this country. This past December, Congress passed the SECURE 2.0 Act, which contains a number of ways for Americans to save more for their retirement. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, Jean is joined by wealth planner Andy Smith and Dr. Wei Hu, vice president of financial research for Edelman Financial Engines, to discuss retirement security opportunities and how they may help you save more for retirement, wait longer to take distributions, and even possibly utilize some tax-smart strategies.
