A successful retirement is about far more than having enough money

We have a special treat for listeners to our podcast Intelligent Investor this Christmas, because the guest on our latest episode is none other than Larry Swedroe.

Larry is a Principal and Director of Research for Buckingham Strategic Wealth, an independent member of the BAM Alliance, and is best known as a prolific writer of books and articles on investing.

In the interview, Larry talks about his long career and his passion for evidence-based investing. He also discusses his latest book, Your Complete Guide to a Successful and Secure Retirement, which he has co-authored with Kevin Grogan and other colleagues at Buckingham.
