Why is it so hard to start spending your retirement savings—even when you know you’ve saved enough? In this episode of Retirement With/On Purpose, host Trevor Lawson explores the emotional and psychological hurdles many retirees face when shifting from saving to spending. Inspired by an article from Morningstar’s Christine Benz, Trevor unpacks the concept of the “retirement consumption gap” and shares practical strategies for giving yourself permission to enjoy the money you've worked so hard to save. From income-producing investments to behavioral tips like tying spending to market performance, this episode will help you find the confidence to make the most of your go-go years.
