Retirement is no longer a one-size-fits-all plan. From the rise of the 401k to the growing interest in micro-investing and crypto, the rules of wealth-building have fundamentally changed for every generation.

In this episode of Financial Cents, our new host Margaret Paddock sits down with Wealth Advisor John Poure (CFP) to break down the generational shifts in retirement planning. We cover everything from the conservative approach of Baby Boomers to the equity-focused portfolios of Millennials, the impact of recent tax laws (like the Secure Act), and the most essential, timeless wealth-building strategies. We talk about:

✅ The fundamental difference in investing strategies between Baby Boomers and Millennials.

✅ The 4% Rule for estimating how much money you need to retire.

✅ The three most important, universal financial rules to follow.

✅ Why saving early and leveraging the power of compounding is the single most important action (the Warren Buffett example).

John Poure is a Wealth Advisor with Zions Wealth Advisors and is available to help you plan your future. He or one of his colleagues can be found at your local National Bank of Arizona branch.
