Episode notes
Make A Retirement Budget
- Build a clear retirement budget to know what you can spend and free yourself from recurring arguments or worry.
- Treat guaranteed monthly income as your spending limit to gain predictable freedom and confidence.
Fund An Emergency Reserve
- Maintain an emergency fund in retirement and keep saving from your monthly income for repairs and surprises.
- Avoid using lines of credit as your emergency solution because that creates emergency debt you must later repay.
Tend Your Financial "Flock"
- Regularly inventory your accounts, policies, and investments so you know what your "herd" contains and what to tend or cull.
- Revisit financial and estate plans annually as life, tax rules, and goals change.
