Emily Rogers+FollowI Asked ChatGPT: How Much to Retire?!Ever wondered how much cash you’ll need to chill in retirement? I asked ChatGPT, and it spit out a number: $1.7 million if you want to live on today’s $60K a year in 20 years. Thanks, inflation! Basically, if you want to keep your current lifestyle, you’ll need to save about $3,800 a month.

Edward Wallace+FollowRetirement Goals: Ex-CEO Goes WildEver wondered what life after the corner office looks like? For Coca-Cola’s ex-CEO Douglas Ivester, it means swapping boardrooms for safaris and swimming with sharks at 78!

More retirees are skipping the golf course for bucket-list travel that’s part thrill, part giving back. If you’re dreaming big, just know: these trips take a year to plan and can cost as much as a new car! #RetirementGoals #TravelInspo #LifeAfterWork #Business00Share
