Retirement Coffee Talk

What will give you the confidence to retire?

What if the biggest mistake retirees make isn’t running out of money—but not using it when life is best? On this episode of the Retirement Coffee Talk Podcast, Charisse Rivers takes a closer look at long‑standing retirement income formulas that suggest spending less once the paychecks stop. In this conversation, the focus is on where rules like “80% of income” come from, why many retirees quietly scale back even more, and how fear around markets, taxes, long‑term care, and legacy planning shapes those decisions. By breaking retirement into different spending phases, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what retirement income was truly designed to support—especially in the years when energy and opportunity are highest.
