Description

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

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.
