    #473: We Saved for 40 Years. Spending It Was the Hard Part

    Download our FREE One Year from Retirement Checklist! https://bit.ly/RTchecklist Join Our 2027 Masterclass! https://bit.ly/2027MasterclassWaitlist We spent 40 years saving for retirement, but nobody prepared us for how difficult it would be to actually spend that money. In this episode, we share the surprising truth about retirement savings, why so many retirees are afraid of running out of money, and how a lifetime of saving can prevent you from enjoying your healthiest and most active retirement years. From overcoming the fear of spending your retirement nest egg to creating a retirement spending plan, prioritizing travel and family experiences, investing in your health and wellness, and letting go of financial guilt, we explore why dying rich doesn't necessarily mean you've lived a rich life. We'll also share personal stories about the opportunities our families missed, the experiences we're prioritizing now, and why waiting until your 80s to enjoy your retirement savings could be one of your biggest regrets. If you're over 60, approaching retirement, or struggling to transition from saving money to spending it, this conversation will help you rethink what financial freedom, retirement happiness, and living a fulfilling life after retirement really mean.#retirement_transformed #retirementcouple #retirement BUY MARK'S BOOK! The Evolving Man: Life Virtues Men Don't Talk About   [Get the FREE Downsizing Guide] How to prepare to downsize your home https://learn.retirementtransformed.com/downsizing-guide-optin    USEFUL FINANCIAL TOOLS https://geni.us/new_retirement Use this link for a FREE 14 Day Trial!
