    GWT You Saved for 40 Years… So Why Are Retirees Afraid to Spend?
    Feb 19 2026
    Many retirees aren’t afraid of the market.
    They’re afraid to spend their own money.

    In this episode, we cover:
    • Why retirement spending feels uncomfortable
    • The emotional shift from saver to spender
    • How market volatility fuels retirement anxiety
    • What “permission to spend” really means
    • How to build true retirement income confidence
    If you’re 55+ with $1M+ invested and wondering:
    “Can we afford this?”
    “What if the market drops?”
    “What if we live too long?”
    This conversation is for you.
    Retirement isn’t just about having enough money.
    It’s about enjoying it — confidently.

    Feb 12 2026

    Topics covered include:
    • Retirement mindset and permission to spend
    • Why “enough” matters more than “more”

    Why Healthcare Is the Biggest Hidden Cost in Retirement (And What You Can Do About It)
    Jan 30 2026
    If you’ve ever looked at your healthcare premiums and thought, “Why is this so expensive?” — you’re not alone.
    Healthcare is one of the largest and fastest-growing expenses in retirement, especially for people in their 50s and early 60s before Medicare begins. In this episode of The Great Wealth Transfer, David Pulcini, CFP®, explains why healthcare premiums keep rising, what’s actually driving the cost, and — most importantly — what retirees can still control.
    In this video, we cover:
    • Why healthcare costs rise as you age
    • Why U.S. healthcare premiums are higher than most countries
    • The hidden impact of prescription drugs and medical inflation
    • Why ages 60–65 are the most expensive healthcare years
    • How income planning affects ACA subsidies and Medicare premiums
    • How smart planning can reduce healthcare costs in retirement
    Healthcare isn’t expensive because you’re doing something wrong — it’s expensive because the system is expensive. The good news? With the right retirement income and tax strategy, you can plan around it.

  • Plan Your Retirement for Longevity, Prepare for Brevity #retirementplanning

    Plan Your Retirement for Longevity, Prepare for Brevity #retirementplanning
    Dec 30 2025
    Most retirement plans focus on one thing: making money last a long time.

    But great planning does something more powerful — it plans for longevity *and* prepares for brevity.

    In this episode of The Great Wealth Transfer, David Pulcini, CFP®, explains why true financial planning isn’t just about living to 90 or 100, but also about protecting the people you love if life is shorter than expected.

    We cover:
    • How to stress-test retirement plans for long life
    • Why organization and clarity matter just as much as growth
    • The emotional and financial cost of leaving decisions unfinished
    • How a good plan removes uncertainty for your family

    You can’t predict how long life will last.
    But you *can* prepare for both outcomes — and that’s where real peace of mind comes from.
