Many retirees expect spending to rise forever, yet real-life behavior often tells a different story. This episode explores how retirement spending actually changes over time, why inflation doesn’t always lead to higher monthly withdrawals, and how “comfort” can mask shifting priorities. Sean Mason breaks down the role of spendable income, inflation assumptions, and annual paycheck check-ins, illustrating how retirees adapt through different phases of life. A real family travel example shows how flexible planning can absorb unexpected joys without derailing long-term income strategies.
