Why Retirees Fear Running Out of Money — Even Though They Rarely Do


Listen Later

Everyone fears running out of money in retirement—even millionaires.

What most people don't realize is that research shows most retirees rarely spend down their savings.

In fact, many actually see their wealth grow throughout retirement, even during some of the toughest markets in history.

In this episode, we unpack:

▶ Why that happens

▶ What the data really says about retirement spending

▶ How to find the right balance between confidence and caution

By the end, you'll see why most retirees worry far more than they need to, and how to feel confident spending your own money.
