Welcome back to the Runway to Retirement Podcast, Episode 17.

In this episode, Rob McGregor walks through six powerful questions that help you clearly define what you actually want your retirement to look like. Drawing on nearly 30 years of experience helping people plan for retirement, Rob explains why asking better questions is far more important than chasing rules of thumb or average numbers.

He shows how retirement planning is deeply personal and why your income needs, lifestyle goals, lump sum plans, family support, legacy wishes, and bucket list ideas all need to be considered together. Rob explains how these questions translate into real numbers, real trade-offs, and real decisions about work, spending, and timing.

You will learn why clarity around goals makes retirement planning easier, how trade-offs work in both positive and negative directions, and why the planning process itself often matters more than the plan you start with.

It is a practical and thoughtful episode designed to help you move from vague ideas about retirement to a clearer picture of what you want and what it will take to get there.

Each Week Runway to Retirement will be exploring what it means for your journey toward a secure and enjoyable retirement. Whether you’re just starting to plan or already on your way, we’re here to share insights and perspectives to help you feel more confident about your future.
