Why Hitting $1 Million Can Be More Stressful Than You Expect

Crossing the million‑dollar mark can feel like standing on a peak—until fear of slipping back down takes over. In this episode, Brooks breaks down the emotional and financial shift that often follows reaching a $1 million retirement milestone. The conversation explores why moving everything to cash may feel safe but carries hidden risks, how inflation and volatility factor into decisions, and why mindset matters as much as market performance. Listeners hear how planning often evolves from pure growth to income, stability, and preservation without abandoning long‑term opportunity. Listen to Brooks every Saturday at 7 a.m. on KOTA.
