❓The #1 Question Retirees Face: How Much Can I Safely Spend?

Retirement should be a time of freedom and fulfillment — but many retirees struggle with one big question: “How much can I safely spend?” Spend too much and risk running out too soon. Spend too little and miss the life you worked hard to enjoy.

Without a plan, your retirement can slide into one of two costly traps:

✅ Overspending – Spending too freely now and risking your financial security later.

✅ Underspending – Being overly cautious and missing out on experiences you’ve already earned.

The key to peace of mind is balance — enjoying retirement today while ensuring your income lasts for decades ahead. That’s why knowing your sustainable spending number is crucial.

Our free Spending Snapshot helps you strike that balance. In just 1 business day, you’ll receive a personalized, tax-aware spending plan designed to give you clarity and confidence about your financial future.
