From football player to Certified Financial Planner to podcaster, Joe Allaria is passionate about educating his clients and his listeners.

He spoke to us about the 3 levels of financial retirement.

Level one: Survival - Can I pay my bills when I retire? Typically, people that have this fear have not worked with a financial planner and are simply guessing at their financial state.

Level two: Survival plus - I can pay my bills, maybe take a trip or two, contribute to a charity of my choice.

Level three: True retirement fulfillment - this is where you begin to think about all that is possible now that you are not working.

He answered a lot of our questions about how to approach retirement planning, reviewing you goals and desires.

Joe shared a resource with us called:
