Most of us pictured our lives as a straight line: high school, college, a job, marriage, a house, kids…one milestone after another. Then life happened. A divorce. A layoff. A move. A pandemic. 

This week, Jean Chatzky goes solo to make the case that a messy, non-linear life isn't a failure; it's just what a normal life actually looks like. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The "5 Ws and an H": six questions to ask before you retire
• How to apply design thinking to your own retirement plan
• Why the real risk in retirement isn't running out of money, but never spending the money you worked so hard to save
