You’ll learn:

- The Bucket Strategy: David explains how dividing your assets into short-term, medium-term, and long-term buckets can provide stability, growth, and peace of mind.
- Dynamic Spending Models: Learn how spending naturally evolves through the "Go-Go," "Slow-Go," and "No-Go" years of retirement—and why flexibility is key to a sustainable plan.
Whether you’re on the cusp of retirement or already in it, this episode will help you make the most of what you’ve saved, without the fear of running out.
