Saving for retirement isn't easy. We're talking to experts about the best strategies to put enough away even if you're in uncertain financial circumstances.

The good news is; people are living longer than ever. Unfortunately that means you're even more likely to outlive your retirement savings - assuming you have any in the first place.

We're talking about saving for retirement: answering your questions and offering strategies for how to make sure you're putting away enough away, even in times of financial uncertainty.

We're joined by John Pelletier, director of Champlain College's Center for Financial Literacy, and by Liz Scharf, a financial coach for Capstone Community Action, a non-profit working in Washington, Orange and Lamoille Counties to help people gain stability and financial independence.

Broadcast live on Monday, June 5, 2017 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.

Jane Lindholm is the host, executive producer and creator of But Why: A Podcast For Curious Kids. In addition to her work on our international kids show, she produces special projects for Vermont Public. Until March 2021, she was host and editor of the award-winning Vermont Public program Vermont Edition.
