Episode Synopsis

What is a “license to spend”? And how can we make sure we don’t “leave happiness on the table”? On this episode of The Wave Strength, financial planning expert Dr. Michael Finke joins Host Jim Breen to unpack the No. 1 cause of anxiety for those approaching retirement: Not knowing how much they can spend in retirement.  
 
Michael reveals that while the task of saving for retirement has been successfully automated, the concept of decumulation and retirement spending has been largely ignored. Michael explains that there’s a natural urge to preserve our nest egg, but doing so may not lead to happiness in retirement.
