About this episode

This episode explores the emotional aspects of retirement and how to achieve a fulfilling retirement beyond just financial considerations.

Retirement is about more than dollars and math—so why do so many people still focus only on the numbers? Chris Wallace and Graham Bauer reveal why real success comes from tackling the emotional side of financial transition, including overcoming procrastination, giving yourself permission to spend, and finding purpose beyond your career. With honest stories, practical triggers that drive action, and a clear-eyed look at common misconceptions about working with an advisor, this episode helps you build not just a nest egg, but a fulfilling and flexible retirement—no matter what’s happening in the world around you. Cris Wallace has been on the air for years as your source for all things retirement. He covers everything from how current events could affect your savings to strategies for maximizing your retirement income and everything in between on “The Rite Retirement Show.” https://wgfinancialgroup.com/schedule-a-meeting/
