If you’re 55+ and still stuck in “one more year” mode, this episode is your wake-up call. I break down why endless accumulation can quietly rob you of your healthiest, most active retirement years—and how a clear, personalized plan can flip the script.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• The “accumulation trap” that keeps moving the goalpost

• How the Go-Go/Slow-Go/No-Go years really work (and why timing matters)

• A real client story (“Mike & Susan”) who chose memories over marginal returns

• The financial reality check: why many retirees need less than they think

• The Red Zone Retirement Planning framework to cover needs with reliable income and fund wants with flexible income—so you never work a day longer than you have to
