Being financially ready for retirement doesn’t always mean you’re ready to walk away. In this episode, Evan Ward explores the often‑overlooked emotional side of retirement and why many people keep working even after the math says they don’t have to. The conversation breaks down how to separate financial readiness from personal purpose, why “magic number” headlines miss the mark, and how retirement income planning should cover both everyday expenses and quality‑of‑life goals. It’s a thoughtful look at building a retirement plan that supports not just your money—but your mindset too.
