Beach, Budgets, and Balance: What Vacation Planning Really Looks Like in Retirement (Ep 189)

from My Retirement Clarity with Lee Perkins · host Lee Perkins

Summer's here. And somewhere between the excitement of planning a big trip and the anxiety of what it costs, a lot of retirees end up doing something that surprises us… they feel guilty about it. They worked hard, they saved, they planned for decades, and then they second-guess a beach vacation. Today, let's talk about how travel fits into a real retirement plan and how to enjoy it without guilt. Here’s what we discuss in today’s show: ✈️ Retirement is the time to enjoy the experiences you've spent decades planning for. 💰 Creating a dedicated travel fund can make spending feel intentional instead of stressful. 🧠 The psychology of spending often becomes more challenging once the paycheck stops. 🌎 Most retirees travel more in the early years of retirement and gradually slow down over time. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Many retirees are choosing experiences and family travel over simply leaving larger inheritances.    Meet with us: http://talkwithjlp.com 📚 Looking for more financial education?
