At SHP Financial, we help our clients with many common or technical questions such as, "What is a required minimum distribution?" or "What's a Roth conversion?" However, one of the most popular questions we hear is, "How much money do I need to retire?"

It's a difficult question to answer because the magic number isn't the same for everyone. There's so many factors involved like inflation, bear markets and healthcare expenses to name a few, that just thinking about it is stressful and brings out a lot of fear and emotions for many people.

With that in mind, today's episode is all about the process we go through to figure out those magic numbers. Ultimately, it all boils down to creating a plan and having some honest conversations about what an ideal retirement should look like. With proper guidance, you'll enjoy the peace of mind that having a plan provides so that you'll worry about retirement a lot less and perhaps even enjoy the last few years of working a lot more.

In this podcast interview, you'll learn:

• Why the decision to stop working and retire is as emotional as it is financial.
• The danger of winging your retirement without a plan in place.
• How to determine the cost of your lifestyle and make adjustments after you stop working.
• Why so many clients find work much less stressful once they realize that they can safely retire.
• The important questions to ask to help ensure you get the most out of your retirement.
