TAKE THE FREE 'ARE YOU ACTUALLY READY TO RETIRE' QUIZ https://retirementquiz.netlify.app/ WORK WITH ME AND THE TEAM 1-1 retirement planning conversation with me https://tfp-fp.com/retirement-assessm... WHAT'S THIS VIDEO ABOUT Will I run out of money in retirement? It’s probably the biggest financial fear people carry into retirement — even when, on paper, they have more than enough. But running out of money isn’t usually about picking the wrong investment, failing to predict the next market crash, or finding the perfect withdrawal rate. It’s about whether your retirement plan can adapt when life and markets don’t go according to plan. In this video, I explore what actually causes people to get into financial trouble in retirement, why rigid spending can be dangerous during difficult markets, and how using flexible spending guardrails and proper stress-testing can help you build a retirement plan that bends rather than breaks. But there’s another side to this question that doesn’t get talked about enough. Because protecting yourself against the possibility of running out of money can create a completely different risk: Running out of time with too much money left and too much life unlived. In this episode, we look at: • What actually causes people to run out of money in retirement • Why sequence-of-returns risk matters • Why flexibility can be more important than predicting markets • How retirement spending guardrails work • Why stress-testing your retirement plan matters • The emotional fear behind spending money in retirement • Why being too cautious can come with a very real cost The goal isn’t certainty. It’s building a plan strong enough that you can trust it — and then giving yourself permission to actually enjoy the retirement you spent your whole life working for.

Humans vs Retirement is about much more than pensions and investment portfolios — it’s about how to build a retirement that is financially secure, emotionally fulfilling and actually worth living.
