from Retirement Answers · host Jacob Duke, CFP®

Have you ever wondered if chasing “more” could actually make retirement harder instead of better? In this episode of Retirement Answers, Jacob is sharing how “more is not better, better is better” applies to retirement... More money can create fear, over-optimizing can steal joy, more stuff adds complexity and decision fatigue, and more time without purpose can lead to dissatisfaction. Tune in to rethink what “enough” means for you and focus on using your money, lifestyle, and time in a better way that supports a meaningful retirement.👉 Work With Us: https://www.rivertreewealth.com/get-started✅ Get your Important Numbers 2026 PDF here: https://www.rivertreewealth.com/2026-important-numbersEmail: [email protected]: https://www.rivertreewealth.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobdukeJacob Duke, CFP, MBA is the founder of Rivertree Wealth and the host of the Retirement Answers podcast.DISCLAIMER: This should not be taken as tax, legal, or investment advice.
