How Long Will Your Retirement Money Really Last?

from Savvy Women Talk Money · host Catherine Magana

Retirement can last 20, 30, or even 40 years—but how do you know if your money can keep up? The reality is that many retirees aren't worried because they're spending too much. They're worried because they don't know if they're spending too much. One extra vacation, helping a child through a difficult season, or tackling a major home project can suddenly raise a much bigger question: Am I still on track, or am I quietly putting my future at risk? In this episode of Savvy Women, Catherine and Rachel explore the difference between real financial risk and retirement spending anxiety. They discuss why even financially successful retirees worry about running out of money, how inflation and healthcare costs can affect long-term plans, and why having a retirement strategy can help you spend with confidence instead of fear. You'll learn: Why retirement anxiety isn't always tied to how much money you have The difference between spending fear and actual financial risk How inflation can quietly affect your future lifestyle Common retirement spending mistakes that can derail a plan Why some retirees struggle to spend money they've worked hard to save How financial planning helps create confidence, not restrictions Because retirement isn't just about making your money last—it's about knowing you can enjoy the life you've worked so hard to build.
