This year marks a significant increase in Americans reaching retirement age, but confidence in retirement plans is down. According to Fidelity, only 67% of pre-retirees feel confident about their financial future, a 7% drop from last year, largely due to rising costs and inflation.

On "Regionally Speaking," host Dee Dotson discusses strategies for retirees and near-retirees with Greg Hammer of Hammer Financial Group, Inc. in northwest Indiana.

Dee Dotson is the host and producer of our radio show/podcast, Regionally Speaking. Dee is responsible for connecting with the northwest Indiana community to share their stories with the Lakeshore Public Media listening audience.
