Most retirement plans don’t fail from one big mistake—they unravel through small, unnoticed spending habits. In this episode, Michigan’s Retirement Coach Mike Douglas breaks down the “slow leak” problem and how overlooked expenses quietly drain retirement income. The discussion covers lifestyle creep, subscriptions, helping adult children, inflation, and how easy digital spending makes overspending harder to spot. Mike explains why these minor leaks add up over time and why awareness, structure, and planning matter more than avoiding big-ticket purchases when it comes to long-term retirement stability.
