Show Notes
If you're within ten years of retirement (early or traditional age) or just want to get a head start on going from being a saver to a spender, this episode is for you. Decumulation without drama—that's the mission as retirement pros Dana Anspach (Sensible Money) and Fritz Gilbert (The Retirement Manifesto) join the show to turn "build-your-own paycheck" into a repeatable process. Dana lays out why drawdown is a hundred small decisions, not one big leap; and Fritz brings in the field notes. Together they demystify:
- Tax Pitfalls
- Timing Social Security
- Asset Allocation and Location
- Why Most Retirees Underspend
The big takeaway: document the plan, automate the paycheck, and give yourself permission to enjoy the "go-go" years—because money's job is to fund a life, not gather dust.
