98 episodesAre you staring at your retirement savings, wondering if it will be enough? You're not alone. Many retirees struggle with the emotional shift from saving to spending, often feeling anxious about "turning on the tap" of their hard-earned nest egg. But there's a more empowering way to think about retirement: instead of viewing your savings as one big pile that's slowly depleting, imagine multiple retirement income streams flowing toward you month after month, like a steady river. This mindset shift isn't just about feeling better—it's about creating a practical strategy that combines various sources of income, from investments to pensions, helping you spend confidently and live joyfully in retirement.

The retirement landscape has transformed dramatically over the past few decades. Gone are the days when you could count on working for one company, receiving a comfortable pension, and settling into a predictable retirement routine. Today's new retirement reality demands a different approach—one that acknowledges longer lifespans, changing work patterns, and the need for multiple income streams. Whether it's the decline in defined benefit pensions, the impact of market volatility, or the rising costs of healthcare, retirees face unique challenges that their parents never encountered. But it's not all doom and gloom. With proper planning, understanding, and an open mind, this new chapter can be more flexible, purposeful, and fulfilling than ever before.
