About this episode
This episode discusses the challenges of spending in retirement despite having saved enough money.
Most retirement conversations are about saving enough. Today we're talking about the other side of that. What happens when you've saved, you're there, and you still can't bring yourself to spend it? It's more common than people admit. And it can quietly rob you of the retirement you worked so hard to build. Important Links: Website: https://www.estesfinancial.net/ Call: 817-444-8402
