I’ve had a couple of friends in their mid-50s retire recently, and although I’m not ready to retire yet, it got me thinking more seriously about it. Until now, it was something that was going to happen a long time from now, but then I started to realize it is closer than I thought. And frankly, I’m a little worried that I won’t be prepared financially.

Ep 2 - Gen Xers Dealing with Stress with Dr. Benjamin F Miller, IV Gen Xers face challenges related to work-life balance, managing family priorities, and financial stress as many in this age group are in their prime working years and may have demanding careers and families to manage.

How can we manage the stress of our lives? Guest Dr. Benjamin F. Miller is an advocate for mental health awareness and education, and a champion of more robust and equitable health policy. Dr. Miller, PsyD, is the past president of Well Being Trust, a national foundation dedicated to advancing the mental, social, and spiritual health of the nation. Over the last two decades, Dr. Miller has worked tirelessly to prioritize mental health in our policies, programs, and investments. A clinical psychologist by training, Miller works at the intersection of policy and practice, ensuring that mental health and addiction is prioritized across America.  https://www.benmillerpsyd.com (https://www.benmillerpsyd.com/) Will You...
