Having a large retirement balance doesn’t automatically mean you have a retirement paycheck. In this episode, Tim Wood explains why the transition from saving to spending requires an entirely different strategy as retirement approaches. He discusses market volatility, the limits of withdrawal rules, and why income planning matters more than account balances once paychecks stop. Tim also breaks down the difference between “if‑come” and guaranteed income, why assets alone can create stress, and how planning for different retirement phases can bring clarity. The focus is on building dependable income first, then deciding how the rest of your money should work.
