Many people have preconceived notions about what retirement should look like. Oftentimes, TV commercials and retirement shows paint this as a time of life full of endless beach days and exciting vacations. The reality of retirement, however, can be quite different from our expectations.

Listen in as we explore why a realistic approach to retirement, inclusive of financial planning and the potential for unexpected challenges, is crucial. After all, life is full of surprises, and this phase of life is no exception. Luckily, you don’t have to (and shouldn’t) plan for the “what ifs” alone.

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

  • Retirement is different for everyone, so it’s important to manage your expectations
  • Many people underestimate how much they will spend once they retire
  • You need to be ready to adjust your plans when unexpected changes occur
  • Retirement planning is difficult, and it’s okay to ask for help
