About this episode
The episode discusses whether spending more in retirement is a smart strategy and addresses common financial concerns from listeners.
What if spending too little in early retirement is the real mistake? 👀 This week, four listeners asked the questions most people are afraid to bring up: ✅ Is spending more while you're healthy reckless — or just good planning? ✅ My spouse won't meet with a financial advisor. How do I bring her on board? ✅ I'm 66, just widowed, and my husband handled all the finances. Where do I begin? ✅ We want to move into a retirement community early. How do we run the real numbers? If any of these sound familiar, this one's for you. 📩 Submit your question: show@getreadyforthefuture.com #retirementplanning #financialadvisor #personalfinance #investing Originally Aired: 2026.05.16
