Senior Financial Writer & Research Contributor (BA Economics, CFP®-Certified Financial Content Specialist) at Retirin.com
Hi, I’m Emily Carter, Senior Financial Writer & Research Contributor for Retirin.com.
I’ve spent over 12 years researching, writing, and simplifying complex topics about retirement planning, investing, and everyday money management so readers can make informed financial choices without the overwhelm.
I’m not just a writer — I’m a translator of the financial world. My job is to take industry jargon and transform it into plain, relatable advice you can actually use.
My Background in Finance Writing & Research
Before joining Retirin.com, I worked as a freelance financial content writer for small businesses, credit unions, and independent financial planners. I developed guides on retirement calculators, budgeting strategies, and investment basics that were used by thousands of clients to plan for their futures.
I also collaborated with Certified Financial Planners to fact-check and update retirement guides — ensuring the numbers, tax rules, and savings strategies reflected the latest regulations and market trends.
Over the years, I’ve built expertise in:
- Retirement savings strategies for different life stages
- How to choose a realistic retirement age and prepare for it
- Using tools like a retirement calculator to create a clear savings plan
- Budgeting methods for families, couples, and individuals approaching retirement
- Breaking down complex investment concepts into actionable steps
Why I Write for Retirin.com
I believe financial knowledge is freedom — but only if it’s clear, practical, and trustworthy.
When Robert Miller invited me to contribute to Retirin.com, I saw the perfect opportunity to blend my research skills with a mission I care deeply about: helping adults over 40 plan smart and retire confident.
At Retirin.com, my role is to:
- Research and fact-check every piece of content to ensure accuracy and relevance.
- Work alongside Robert to create story-driven articles that still hold up under expert review.
- Keep our readers informed about retirement trends, tools, and strategies so they can make confident decisions.
My Commitment to Trust & Accuracy
Every article I work on goes through a careful process:
- Deep Research – Using reputable sources like government retirement data, credible financial publications, and expert interviews.
- Fact-Checking – Verifying numbers, rules, and advice against the most recent updates.
- Reader-First Editing – Making sure every paragraph is clear, easy to follow, and actionable.
My goal is to make sure you never have to wonder if the information you’re reading is outdated or unreliable.
A Bit About Me
When I’m not researching the latest retirement trends, you’ll find me:
- Hiking local trails with my rescue dog, Cooper.
- Teaching personal finance workshops at the community center.
- Testing budget-friendly recipes (because financial wellness starts at home).
Let’s Plan Smart, Together
Whether you’re just starting to think about how to save for retirement or you’re fine-tuning your investment plan for a specific retirement age, I’m here to help make the process clearer, calmer, and more doable.
You can find my articles throughout Retirin.com, especially in the Retirement Planning and Budgeting & Money Tips sections.
