You’ve spent decades doing the hard part, and if you’ve done it well, it’s natural to wonder… why change anything now? But retirement isn’t just a continuation of what you’ve already been doing. It’s a completely different phase with new risks, new decisions, and a lot more at stake. Steve unpacks why success during your working years doesn’t automatically translate into success in retirement, and what you need to think about before making that transition.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

📩 DIY Success: Confidence built during working years

🔄 New Game: Saving vs. spending requires different skills

📉 Higher Stakes: Early losses can derail retirement

🧩 Complexity: Taxes, income, and healthcare all collide

🔓 Fear of Losing Control: Letting go doesn’t mean losing control
