Episode 120: Retirement Planning 101: How To Protect Your Future [featuring Ryan Derousseau]

All Things Private Practice Podcast - A podcast by Patrick Casale - Saturdays

Categories:

Retirement planning doesn't have to be scary or unattainable. In this episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast, host Patrick Casale is joined by Ryan Derousseau, a certified financial planner. They dive deep into the importance of retirement planning for private practitioners and therapists. They discuss the common challenges faced by those in private practice, including the lack of financial planning and the emotions of shame and fear surrounding retirement. Ryan shares valuable insights on simple strategies to start securing financial stability, the importance of investment in retirement accounts, and the significance of building assets beyond the practice income stream. 3 key themes: 1. Start with small steps: Even a recurring investment of $50 a week can kick-start the process of retirement planning, allowing you to build a secure future without feeling financially overwhelmed. 2. Selecting the right financial advisor: When hiring a financial advisor, it's essential to ask about their compensation structure, experience, and ability to clearly communicate financial strategies. Select a professional who can guide you through investment decisions and explain the benefits in a way that you can understand. 3. Diversify your income streams: Building an asset involves more than just creating an income stream. Consider investing in retirement accounts, businesses, real estate, or other avenues that can provide financial security and ultimately give you the freedom to work on your own terms without feeling forced to do so.
