Men and Retirement
Episode 148
Over the past decade, the field of finance has delved into the topic of women and transition. There are white papers, educational presentations (some I have given!), and communities dedicated to helping women plan for retirement or move on after a divorce or death of a spouse. But what about the guys? Where is the research, education, and support for men in transition?
My podcast guest, Michael Kay, CFP® asked the same questions and decided to start a blog, Chapter X, to explore these issues. The blog was a success, so he started a podcast too! Having recently sold his financial services practice, Michael now coaches men on how to navigate this life transition and is an advocate for breaking money silence on this often taboo topic.
You may have heard of Michael Kay before. He is a fee-only CFP®, Registered Investment Advisor, founder of Financial Life Focus, and the author of several books including The Feel Rich Project. He has written for Forbes, Psychology Today, and been named of the Top 100 Most Influential Advisors by Investopedia. His list of accomplishments goes on and on (read more), but the best part about Micheal is his warm heart, willingness to listen, and his willingness to be a role model for men entering their retirement years.

- Why the topic of men in transition has been overlooked
