What if the biggest risk to your retirement isn’t the market—but how you feel about it?
In this episode of Retirement Readiness, Brigette Engstrom explores the emotional side of financial decision‑making and how fear of missing out can quietly shape investment choices. She breaks down why retirement planning isn’t just about numbers, but about balancing emotion with clear strategy. The conversation takes a closer look at often-overlooked realities like healthcare expenses and long-term care, and how they fit into a sustainable retirement income plan. By addressing both mindset and mechanics, this episode highlights how thoughtful planning can bring clarity to complex decisions and help people approach retirement with greater confidence and perspective.
