Retirement spending thoughts

from Life Starts at Retirement Hosted by Maureen Dobranski

Retirement spending isn’t as simple as “save a million and live on 80% of your income.” In this video, I break down surprising new insights from a JP Morgan study that reveal how retirees actually spend their money. You’ll learn about the curve of retirement expenses, why partial retirement often leads to higher spending, and how volatile costs—like healthcare or travel—can shake up your budget. If you’re planning for retirement or already there, this video will help you rethink the old rules and prepare for a more flexible, confident retirement lifestyle. #RetirementPlanning #RetirementSpending #FinancialFreedom #LifeStartsAtRetirement Please check out my video about the 3 stages of retirement....Go Go Phase, Slow Go Phase and No Go Phase. ✅https://youtu.be/4-_kDrQnwN8 Please check out my video on the 4 stages of retirement! ✅https://youtu.be/sELWGP7Iyus Please join our Facebook Group www.facebook.com/groups/lifestartsatretirement.
