Everyone fears running out of money in retirement—even millionaires.

What most people don't realize is that research shows most retirees rarely spend down their savings.

In fact, many actually see their wealth grow throughout retirement, even during some of the toughest markets in history.

In this episode, we unpack:

▶ Why that happens

▶ What the data really says about retirement spending

▶ How to find the right balance between confidence and caution

By the end, you'll see why most retirees worry far more than they need to, and how to feel confident spending your own money.

You've heard it before—70% of Americans over 65 will need long-term care.

While that number is technically true, it's also misleading.

Because here's what many people don't realize: the vast majority of retirees will never face a catastrophic, six-figure care event.

In fact, nearly two-thirds will spend ZERO out of pocket during their lifetime! 🤯

So how do you prepare responsibly without overpaying for protection you may never use?

In this episode, I walk you through a simple 5-step process to decide if you can safely "self-fund" your long-term care needs, while still protecting your retirement plan and peace of mind.
