As we close out 2025 and look ahead to the new year, we’re answering listener questions in this special mailbag episode. From spending more in retirement to finding the right kind of financial guidance, this episode focuses on making confident, well-planned decisions. Steve explains why needing more income in retirement isn’t irresponsible if it’s intentional and feasible, how to plan for the more active “Go-Go Years,” and what to watch out for when professional advice starts to feel like a sales pitch.
Here are some of the questions we discuss in this episode:
💼 Spending more in retirement- when it works and planning for it
✈️Planning for travel and fun during the Go-Go Years
🛑Recognizing product-driven advice vs. real planning
🎉Year-End Note: Perspective and gratitude
