Retirement can bring a surprising mix of excitement and uncertainty.
Having enough money matters, but so do the questions about health, purpose, family, taxes, and whether you’re making decisions you’ll feel comfortable living with.
In this episode, I share what women in the Simply Retirement Community told me about their biggest retirement goals and worries. I walk through themes including financial independence, travel, health, Social Security, Medicare, taxes, and investment decisions. I also explain why defining what you want retirement to look like can help you ask better questions, evaluate your choices, and understand how the different pieces of your retirement plan fit together.
