Episode Details

You saved. You invested. You did everything right. So why does spending your own money in retirement feel so terrifying?

This week, Jean sits down with Terri Fiedler, President of Retirement Services at Corebridge Financial, to dig into why the spending side of retirement is so much harder than saving, and what you can do about it right now.

They cover:

• The "retirement paradox": why 60% of retirees whose assets have grown still can't bring themselves to spend
• Why guaranteed lifetime income is the single biggest confidence booster for retirees
• The three questions everyone should be asking five to ten years before they retire
