Today we're going to talk about your net worth, a number that everyone has but very few really know what it is and even fewer people truly understand what it means when it comes to retirement.

This episode gets us back on track with the 2026 Retirement Challenge. Each episode in this series focuses on one step you can take to determine whether you're ready to retire in 2026. If you're already retired, this is still a valuable exercise to make sure your plan is on track. And if you're a client of Parker Financial, you can rest assured—we're already doing this work for you.
