Being financially prepared for retirement is important, but having enough money saved doesn't necessarily mean you're ready to take that next step. In this episode, Aaron Jones explores why retirement requires more than just a solid financial foundation and how preparing for the lifestyle you want is just as important as preparing for the expenses that come with it. He also discusses why retirement doesn't always happen on your preferred timeline and how having a flexible plan can help you adapt to life's unexpected changes without losing sight of your long-term goals.
