How to Spend More, Stress Less, and Retire Sooner
About this episode
"I'll just work a few more years."
It's the retirement safety net millions of Americans often count on.
In large part because the financial industry has convinced everyone that retiring later is the most sensible backup plan if your savings fall short.
But what if this common advice is actually setting you up for one of the most costly mistakes of your life?
In this episode, I'm sharing why the real danger may not be running out of money in retirement, but rather working too long.
I'm also sharing why choosing the right withdrawal strategy may help you retire sooner AND give you more confidence to spend in retirement.
