Having money saved for retirement doesn’t automatically mean you know how to live on it. In this episode, Annetta Carter explains why turning a nest egg into reliable income is often the most overlooked part of retirement planning. She walks through different income approaches, the role annuities can play alongside the market, and why relying solely on withdrawals can create long‑term stress—especially during market downturns or rising healthcare costs. The conversation also covers emergency planning, Social Security timing, and why retirement income decisions should reflect both risk tolerance and real‑world spending needs.
