The first decade of retirement isn’t just another phase — it’s the most important chapter of your entire retirement journey.
In this episode of That Financial Guy Show, Keith Wilson breaks down why the first 10 years set the trajectory for everything that comes after. From spending patterns and taxes to Social Security timing, sequence of returns risk, identity shifts, and health — this episode shows why your early retirement decisions matter more than you think.
You’ll learn:
• Why the “Go-Go Years” (your 60s and early 70s) set the pace for spending
• How sequence of returns can make or break a portfolio in the early years
• Why your first decade is a tax-planning goldmine
• How Social Security timing shapes long-term income
• The emotional side of retirement that people don’t talk about
• Common mistakes retirees make early — and how to avoid them
• How to build habits that make the next 20 years smoother and more secure
Retirement isn’t something that happens to you — it’s something you design.
And the first decade is where the blueprint comes together.
🎧 Tune in to learn how to make the early years of retirement intentional, flexible, and financially confident.
