In this episode of Facts Over Feelings, I tackle an overlooked retirement challenge: dying with too much money.
After spending 30 or 40 years saving and investing, flipping the switch from saver to spender can be harder than it sounds. I explore the psychology behind that transition and ask a simple question: What was all that money actually for?
Whether your goal is enjoying retirement, maintaining financial security, leaving a legacy, or some combination of all three, defining that purpose matters. I discuss why retirees should quantify their inheritance goals, give themselves permission to spend, and consider whether helping children and grandchildren today may be more meaningful than leaving everything behind later.
I also discuss the importance of enjoying the early, healthier years of retirement—when you hopefully have the money, time, and health to actually do the things you've spent decades planning for.
Ultimately, retirement isn't about dying with the largest account balance. It's about using your money intentionally and living the life you worked so hard to build.
