What did Wes Moss learn from the 1,350 responses he received from his retirement survey? In this Q&A style interview with Vanguard, Wes Moss shares tips on how finding core pursuits, getting rid of your mortgage, and have multiple sources of income are a few of the factors that can lead to a happy retirement.
In his interview, Moss shares:
“The happiest retirees are masters of the middle. They don’t live on the cheap. However, they’re not shopping at high-end department stores, either. It’s really about not being completely ridiculous with your money.”
Here are some of the top questions that Vanguard posted in the interview.
