You've Spent 40 Years Saving. Now Comes the Hard Part.
For decades, we've been told to save, save, save for retirement. But what happens when retirement finally arrives and it's time to start spending?
In this episode, Josh and I explore one of retirement's biggest emotional challenges: learning how to enjoy the money you've worked so hard to save. We talk about why so many retirees become afraid to spend, how a thoughtful retirement income strategy can provide confidence, and why having a plan is about much more than simply growing your investments.
We also discuss why this conversation can be especially meaningful for LGBTQ+ retirees, who may have different family structures, caregiving considerations, and retirement income goals than many traditional planning models assume.
If you've ever wondered, "Can I really afford to enjoy my retirement?" this episode is for you.
