The Real Reason Retirement Spending Feels So Hard

A seven‑figure nest egg can disappear faster than anyone expects—and it’s not always market risk to blame. David Gagnon dives into the real financial threats that derail retirements, from soaring out‑of‑pocket healthcare costs to required minimum distributions that quietly raise taxes and Medicare premiums. The conversation explores planning for long‑term care without traditional insurance, building tax awareness before RMDs arrive, and why emotional readiness matters as much as financial readiness when work ends. It’s a clear-eyed look at how healthcare, taxes, and lifestyle choices intersect in retirement.
