August 10, 2026·29m

How much should you have saved for retirement by 40, 50 and 60… and what should you do if you’re nowhere close? In this episode, Anthony O’Neal breaks down the retirement savings benchmarks for each age, explains how catch-up contributions can help later starters, and shares the financial order to follow when rebuilding. He also challenges the shame that often comes with feeling behind and reveals why creating margin, eliminating consumer debt and following a clear strategy matter more than panicking over a number. So, whether life brought divorce, caregiving, job loss, or an unexpected setback, this episode will not only help you face your finances honestly but also help you determine your next step and start building toward financial freedom.
