Retirement spending thoughts
Retirement spending isn’t as simple as “save a million and live on 80% of your income.”In this video, I break down surprising new insights from a JP Morgan study that reveal how retirees actually spend their money. You’ll learn about the curve of retirement expenses, why partial retirement often leads to higher spending, and how volatile costs—like healthcare or travel—can shake up your budget. If you’re planning for retirement or already there, this video will help you rethink the old rules and prepare for a more flexible, confident retirement lifestyle. #RetirementPlanning #RetirementSpending #FinancialFreedom #LifeStartsAtRetirementPlease check out my video about the 3 stages of retirement....Go Go Phase, Slow Go Phase and No Go Phase. ✅https://youtu.be/4-_kDrQnwN8Please check out my video on the 4 stages of retirement! ✅https://youtu.be/sELWGP7IyusPlease join our Facebook Group www.facebook.com/groups/lifestartsatretirement.

Forget the money! This is what makes RETIREES happy!
We spend decades saving for retirement — chasing numbers, building portfolios, and planning for financial freedom. But when the paychecks stop and the days open up, many retirees realize something surprising: money alone doesn’t make you happy.In this video, we explore what really brings joy and fulfillment in retirement — and it has nothing to do with how much you have in the bank. Drawing from my real life experience, I talk about what has made a direct and deep difference in my happiness during my retirement. Whether it’s nurturing relationships, discovering new passions, or finding ways to give back, this video will challenge the idea that a bigger nest egg equals a better retirement. It’s about creating a life that feels rich — in meaning, not just money.
