The Retirement Cliff: Why So Many People Are Afraid to Actually Retire

Описание: Ever noticed how people spend 30-40 years saving for retirement… and then get scared to actually spend it? You're not alone.

In this video, I break down what I call "the retirement cliff" — that anxiety-driven hesitation that keeps people saying "just one more year" long after they're financially ready to retire.

What you'll learn:
✅ Why switching from saving to spending creates emotional paralysis
✅ The difference between a "budget" and a spending plan (and why it matters)
✅ How a Cash Wedge or 5-year GIC ladder can reduce retirement anxiety
✅ The real lesson from GM, American Airlines, and Air Canada bankruptcies
✅ Tax-smart strategies like Canadian dividends and insurance planning
✅ How to build a plan you can actually stick to (even in bad markets)

If you're feeling retirement anxiety or keep saying "one more year," this video will help you build confidence in your plan and actually enjoy what you've worked so hard for.
