The conversation covers common misconceptions, why many retirees feel overwhelmed, and how education—not guesswork—plays a central role in building clarity and confidence. The discussion also explores work-optional lifestyles, staying engaged with your finances, and why understanding how money works is a responsibility that can’t be outsourced.
