The Retirement Spending Trap Part 3 | Navigating Your Retirement Ep. 22

Описание: In the final installment of our three-part series on The Retirement Spending Trap, host Travis Chance wraps up the conversation by focusing on one of the most critical — and often overlooked — risks retirees face: underestimating expenses and destabilizing long-term income. Travis and co-host Tony Shore discuss why the first five years before and after retirement are the most dangerous, how reactive spending can quietly erode portfolios, and why planning for worst-case scenarios creates confidence and freedom later on.

This episode dives deep into retirement psychology, inflation assumptions, healthcare costs, budgeting realities, and the importance of flexibility, patience, and discipline. You’ll also hear real-world examples of how small planning adjustments can dramatically improve retirement outcomes, helping retirees enjoy life without unnecessary financial stress.
If you’re approaching retirement or already retired, this episode will help you better understand how to protect your income, avoid costly mistakes, and build a plan designed to last.
