WHAT IS RETIRING TODAY?

Retiring Today with Loren Merkle is an award-winning TV show hosted by Loren Merkle and Molly Nelson. They’ve been bringing viewers entertaining, engaging, and easy-to-understand retirement strategies and resources for almost ten years.

From heartwarming stories to compelling visuals – they make complicated strategies simple – and fun.

They once set fire to a 401(k) prospectus, hopped in a Delorean for a Back to the Future-themed look at retirement, and played Retirement Ghostbusters armed with proton packs.
