Why Retirement Shouldn’t Feel Like Game‑Day Pressure

Retirement shouldn’t feel like the final minutes of a championship game. In this episode, Tim Wood explains why market pressure, inflation, longevity risk, and emotional decisions can make retirement unnecessarily stressful—and how planning can help reduce that pressure. The conversation covers guaranteed income, managing market exposure, avoiding the trap of underliving retirement, and making thoughtful decisions after an inheritance. Tim also shares why confidence to spend, intentional pacing, and separating emotion from strategy matter more than chasing returns once paychecks stop.
