PFR Nation,
I recently discovered a Ted Talk by Dr. Riley Moynes about the “4 phases of retirement.”
We talk a lot about the financial side of retirement planning.
– Safe withdrawal rates
– Tax efficiency
– Investing to and through retirement
– Legacy
– Insurance
However, it’s equally important to understand and think about the softer side of retirement planning. In this episode, you will want to hear Dr. Moynes’ take on the 4 phases,and I’ll talk about a real-life hero in the College Football world that canhopefully inspire you to SKIP the dark and depressing phase!
I hope you enjoy this one.
-Kevin
