May 30, 2026 - Why Spending In Retirement Is Harder Than It Sounds

Why can spending in retirement feel harder than saving for it? On this episode of The Wealth Guardians with Doug Ray, Garrett Ray and Brice Payne discuss why some retirees struggle to shift from saving money to confidently spending it. For retirees who have steady income from Social Security, pensions, investments, or other sources, the challenge is not always a lack of income. Sometimes, it is the mindset that comes after decades of saving, budgeting, and preparing for the future. Garrett and Brice explain why this happens and how thoughtful retirement planning can help retirees reframe their income, enjoy retirement more confidently, and avoid feeling like they have to pinch pennies. #retirement #retirementplanning #financialplanning #thewealthguardians #clemmonsnc #winstonsalemnc #greensboronc #triadnc
