The No. 1 investing goal of most Americans is retirement, and a key determinant of happiness in retirement is where you live. Which factors are most important, and where are the places that have those factors? Robert Brokamp and Matt Frankel discuss The Motley Fool’s recent “Best Places to Retire” report.
Also in this episode:
-The S&P 500’s single-digit decline so far this year masks wide dispersion of the returns of individual stocks and sectors, with many posting gains or losses exceeding 20%.
-A recent study shows that portfolio returns right before retirement have an outsized influence on how much an investor can spend in retirement.
-Geopolitical turmoil usually results in a flight to safety that drives down the yields on Treasuries, but the Iran war has had the opposite effect.
-Gyms and spas now outnumber stores selling stuff, which is good news because people who are healthier tend to also be wealthier.
