Today’s Question:
A recent fishing trip prompts Nathan to consider how fly fishing is somewhat similar to retirement planning. Later on, learn why so many retirees lack confidence as they enter retirement. We’ll discuss the importance of spending with confidence.
Lessons From Fly Fishing:

- In retirement, know what you’ll need, and adjust your plan accordingly.
4:23 – Work With A Guide

- In retirement, use an advisor who knows what you need to do in order to succeed in retirement.
- Turn to advisor to help you understand the confusing elements of your portfolio.
- Know what you’re paying your advisor. Understand what their services are costing you.
The Confidence Corner:

- A sound income plan will build your confidence.
14:20 – Client Case Studies

- Like a river guide, Nathan tries to help his clients successfully navigate their circumstances.
