Larry Friis's desire to do a podcast comes out of a passion for him. He's been a banker for more than 25 years. And he's been an adjunct professor for more than 18 years, teaching personal finance to students, both traditional and non-traditional students. Then there's a common thread in all of those activities over the years.

And that is that people just don't have what they need in order to be able to retire. And they're not thinking necessarily about how to get to that end. Americans are retiring earlier, retiring later, tapping into their 401k, and doing other things that get them to a point where they think they're ready for retirement. When in fact, most people have an average net worth of $170,000 when they're ready to retire. You know how much that is to live on for 12 years? $14,400. That's not enough. And then people are going to say, "Oh, social security will add to that." Well, if you have the average return on a social security check of $1,200, that's another $14,400. So now we're at a whopping $29,000 a year to live on. That is not much. That is why he's doing this program. And there is so much to talk about, how we can help people get their mind around what it is they need to do. Give them some strategies, talk about some instruments and help them to be able to be more prepared for retirement.
